Caution - Man running (with) power tools

 

The reason for building this thing, besides using it as an excuse to buy some really cool tools was to go adventuring.

As you can probably tell from these pictures, the side-by-side RV's have limited baggage space so finding suitable luggage is always a challenge.  My desire was locate some duffle bags without wheels, metal handles, buckles, and/or snaps.  The reason for this is simple, our roll-on airline luggage is heavy, even when empty so I wanted bags that would fit in the plane, not scratch it, and had minimal weight.

ProSpirit® 24" Duffel - BlackOne day when walking through Target I found these 24" duffle bags for $14.99.  Four of them fit perfectly in the baggage compartment.  Full of cloths and other essentials, they are averaging around 20 pounds per bag.

With a shoulder strap, they are easy enough to tote around when you get your destination.

To the BEACH!  - Nora and I thought taking One Whiskey Romeo to the beach for an afternoon would be a great way to celebrate our anniversary.  So with all of 40.8 hours on the clock Nora climbed in, buckled her harness and off we went.
