But I’m getting lots of stuff done related to my upcoming Halifax trip.
The itinerary is set, hostels are booked (Day 1, June 8: Sqweek House in Kingston), money is saved, Dad’s boat is well underway (half done, I’d say), one pair of jeans is nicely pressed.
However, a few big hurdles remain.
["How much did you pay?" I was asked: photo GH]
I need a luggage rack for my bike or else I'll have to pack even smaller than small. I have two leads and if they don’t pan out then I’ll have to build one myself. I have some bird’s eye maple that will do the trick. (Custom luggage rack. How cool is that?)
I need to finish four purple martin houses by Friday, June 4, and I’d like to build a batch of 6 ‘old school house’ bird boxes by the same date - for Gathering on the Green, June 5.
And I’d like to get in a few more practice rides to toughen up my behind and see how my new shades handle the morning sun.
Yes, I bought new red shades for the trip - aviator style - because they look funky and suit my cheerful mood (even though I’ve never been busier).
But... and this is a big but... are they worth the 20 bucks?
My mind says yes.
["That's 10 bucks worth right there"]
My wallet says no.
Hey, if they make me smile all the way to Halifax they are definitely worth it.

Yup, 20 bucks.
I know, it seems like a lot to me too.
