If you are still reading, you have accepted full responsibility for any damages that might occur. And if you were expecting lots of naked women...sorry to disappoint. Just use Google, you don't need an obscure blog for that.
Hokay, so...Shannon and I have stories. There is the whole BasicRider Course weekend, the discussions of what kind of bike to get, the excitement and nervousness of our path...but this post has nothing to do with any of that. Instead, this post is related to the "maintenance" part of my first post, Send Me On My Way.
Early in Long Way Round, Charley and Ewan receive monogrammed Snap-Tite tool chests and tool sets. There are orders of magnitude here. First is a guy having a few basic tools. Next is a decent assortment of tools in a basic chest/box. Then there's the respectable chest with a solid assortment of tools, plus a handful of quality power tools. Somewhere high on the spectrum, there's Snap-Tite giving you a personalized tool chest (and a big chest at that!) complete with tools. I can't say I wasn't jealous at that scene.
Fast-forward to this week. Shannon and I had a sacred pinky-swear that no bikes could be purchased until the garage A) could hold the bikes and B) was set up to allow general maintenance/crafts/mechanical storage. Amazing how a garage can remain a veritable dumping ground until it's cleanliness stands between a man and a bike...then receives a full make-over in a few days. :o)
And so, after a few days of work, I present the following:
My first full, rolling tool chest!
Moved Broncos Cheerleader calendar to the garage...seemed appropriate.
And there we go! Maybe a minor thing for some, but it feels great to have a clear space for bikes plus space for bike/car maintenance and general crafts. Honestly, it may be worth the cost of the BasicRider Course.
...
But really, it's all about getting the bikes, so scratch that last statement. Just need a few more cool posters and a good shop stool in the garage, and I'm ready to go!
