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.

That Ideas Should Freely Spread
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
