My study, November 21, 2009

I woke up this morning gung-ho ready to put some miles on... only to run out of steam a hundred miles down the road when I stopped at a rest area for a break. What the..? That break lasted for hours and I only made it down I-81 as far as Chambersburg PA. Winter's weather is not pushing me - November quite mild here in the east this year - so what's the hurry (says one who couldn't wait to get on the road)?

Adding a studio workshop to this fulltiming rig

A goal this summer was to add a studio workshop to this fulltiming setup. I've been chewing this bone a long time and I finally cracked it. Tools are heavy and LD is built on a relatively light duty chassis leaving me few options. A box trailer with a shop built in seemed like a reasonable approach but dealing with a trailer all the time would be a drag. It's certainly doable but I'd rather not be bothered.

There's gotta be a way.

And there is. Given that only so much weight can be carried in this rig it comes down to priorities. Toss a pound of whatever - add a pound of hammers. Toss what is not important to me - add what is. Aha! It's so simple.

So I did just that.
