Sounds good. I like their cable lubricator too....especially if lubing on a daily basis. Got some on order....if it works, this would be worth a thread of its own! Thanks for the tip.

The Mendenhall Glacier is less than a 3 mile ride from my house. Some folks might have considered the temp a tad bit nippy but the absolutely gorgeous day beckoned for a scoot. At top speed I experienced "brain-freeze" from the freezing cold air blowing through the vents in my helmet. Thems that knows me thinks it's my natural state of being 
. "No pain, no gain", ain't for me no more!! I whimpered & was happy to return for the warmth of the garage. As described, the sun was low over the mt. tops & blindingly direct in our eyes on the putt back home. To see required using my hand to shield my eyes for the road & traffic ahead. When can we do it again Augi? c-m

Augi,
Been only recently following your excellent adventure and was bummed to find out you were sitting a few miles away from me in Bellingham and sounded like cooling your heels. You should have called and we could have hung out and gone for a ride or two as well. Could have also offered a shower, brew and some grub. If you have time on your way back and are coming through Bham give me a holler. The offer is on the table.

ok. during the veteran's day thing, i made friends with "t & a" (stop it, they're a married couple) he's a miner she has children in the service. so, he's underground at nite, sometimes i join her for drink or two make sure she gets home ok. they took me to a thanksgiving buffet yesterday, a good frienship is growing. he won a 30yo-class mountain-biking event back when he was 40...when he first saw sabrina-2 he stared silently for half an hour. we'll see.
so, tonite we're at "teals" about 1/2mi of icy walk from home. when i can get a decent pic of the "duck-butts" i'll tell you more. anyways, i'm shooting pool with a new buddy (retired army ranger, he called me a "sea-bag" never heard that one before, but i kicked his behind in 8-ball so what do i care?) and i look up to see a "familiar" face at the bar, nodding at me...go back about 20 pages to see when i helped move the gunsafe...i swear, it's JAY from haines! he's here to get his floats from storage. holy moly the wild-turkey was flowing tonite. my friend from haines & my friends in juneau got along enormously well. folks, i don't care how you get to alaska, just ya gotta find a way to GET TO ALASKA!!

Heh heh, Augi, that's about the norm for here. Society is pretty fluid. Got a story that will top that I think even. I had been here about 6 months, when I went back to Minnesota to tie up a few loose ends including doing a job I had agreed to. I came back, and after working for a year or so, I was sitting in a bar with my partner and several friends I had known for pretty much the whole time. One of them was a lady that was part of the *circle*. As I was *solving the worlds problems* I mentioned Lefty Schlagel. The lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked "who"? I said Lefty Schlagel.....you know him? She said, "yeah, that's my Dad".
