"Running for 9 lives" would be a good name for band
roocifer 9:50pm
Cute
catnik 9:56pm
....I am mostly packed
catnik 9:56pm
debating if I wanna mess with the cargo carrier or not
roocifer 9:56pm
define 'mess with'
shadylady 9:56pm
In process of getting home. How goes?
shadylady 9:57pm
Mostly packed! Yay!!
catnik 10:02pm
Ok
catnik 10:02pm
so
catnik 10:02pm
I have NOT USED the cargo carrier before
catnik 10:03pm
Normally, I am 40 minutes from Pennsic, and it is mostly ~40/50MPH instead of highway 70
catnik 10:03pm
And, were I going straight to pennsic - short distance, low speed, no worries.
roocifer 10:03pm
but?
catnik 10:03pm
But.... I am not. I am loading car, going to my mother's, and then going to Pennsic
catnik 10:04pm
Mom is ~100 miles south, and it is turnpike, so ~70 MPH
shadylady 10:04pm
Oooo... that IS a different issue.
earldebuke 10:04pm
A bit nerve wracking
catnik 10:05pm
I have tetrised the corolla for pennsic before, and reasonably believe I can fit in all of the stuff with careful packing
shadylady 10:05pm
In theory if you did not like the carrier, could you leave with mom?
catnik 10:05pm
True
catnik 10:05pm
But - if there is a problem with carrier on turnpike down, hard to address
catnik 10:05pm
so don't want to put anything vital on carrier?
roocifer 10:06pm
then what is the point of it?
catnik 10:06pm
exactly.
shadylady 10:06pm
Yes. Correlated question is how much are you taking that is not vital?
catnik 10:06pm
Because if I were doing the quick run, I would put my chest-bench on it and save myself the grief of putting it in the back seat
catnik 10:06pm
but... chest bench is a: important and b: hard to replace.
shadylady 10:07pm
Right. No bueno.
catnik 10:07pm
So that leaves things like, say - cooler, sleeping bag, tarps. Things I can replace at walmart.
catnik 10:08pm
Yes, a test run would have been nice, but that just didn't happen.
catnik 10:08pm
C'est la vie
roocifer 10:09pm
If you don't mind replacing said things, then there's your solution, I guess.
catnik 10:10pm
I am slightly bitter about going to mom's
earldebuke 10:10pm
Can sympathize
catnik 10:10pm
It will be fine once I am there.
catnik 10:10pm
But I hate driving, and a 200 mile round trip is.. blerg.
catnik 10:11pm
(BFF is stopping at Mom's on saturday afternoon through sunday morning)
catnik 10:22pm
anywho
catnik 10:23pm
Zara is going on a family vacation, Bird... well.
bacchante 10:23pm
Bird is learning knightly things?
catnik 10:25pm
Currently, I think Bird is piling sandbags.
bacchante 10:26pm
Ohhh! Very nice of her.
bacchante 10:26pm
Well, that's...knightly. Kinda.
catnik 10:27pm
Flooding in KC
bacchante 10:27pm
Yeah
bacchante 10:27pm
Like there had been in Ellicott last year?
catnik 10:29pm
bacchante 10:29pm
Ack.
bacchante 10:30pm
We will not have rain here for another couple months.
bacchante 10:30pm
So strange to see that, flooding.
