Not so small details...

I hope you've all been enjoying the pics and descriptions of where we've been...and what we've drunk ! In addition to these larger 'views' of the trip I did wonder if any of you would be interested in some of the details...things that can be every bit as important ? Take my underpants...

Some days ago I was searching the panniers for fresh underwear to discover the stock of 'cleans' dangerously low. The options were to hand wash or run over to the Wal-Mart buy a pack then grab a beer from the bar next door. Anyway...beer and new pants it was. The pack described these 'briefs' as MEDIUM for waist 30 to 32 inches...perfect. The reality is they are more like the emergency pants BA give you when they've lost your luggage...bloody huge !!

Nothing for it though but to make use of them (Slo had purchased also). Slo has a pair of braces which helps. He's decided that after each single use to discard said garments at various hotels across Western Canada. I've decided to hang on to mine in case we run short of gas and can strap them to the bikes as a sail.

Watch out all who shop at Wal-Mart !

Anyway, enough of this. I need to go find a pair so we can get to the pub !
