WHAT GREEN MEANS TO US

AS IN THE PAST, WE WILL STAY AS ENVIROMENTALlY FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE [sorry cannot stop the methane farts].

At the present time we have the bikes themselves and good bags. Just ordered a Sierra Designs Lightning HT 3 tent and 2 BOB Yak Plus trailers, as well as the rear rack for Aggie's bike.Will have to perform a few modifications like drilling and tapping for A's rack, and modify the trailers for the solar set up, including voltage regulator inverter etc, so will be very busy. Getting more and more excited.

So now the fun begins. What can we afford: a lithium-ion battery pack, 4.4 lb for $450, or a sealed lead acid battery, 12 lb for $43? Folding solar panels for $400 or solid for $100? [Already decided on the solid ones -- they'll be mounted on the bikes as we ride.] 
Now can A have her personal lubricant? Of course, but how big a jar?
How much beer can I carry? [*#()% that sucks!]
Heaviest weight is the gun and ammo!!!!! How much? Probably be our only source of meat except in town. No we are not vegan, but invite them to ride with us. :)

GREEN MEANS TO ME:

Minimal petro [fuel for stove only when necessary].
Bike instead of motor home.
Pick up TRASH instead of leaving it, even if left by others.
Bury organic waste, i.e., feces. We don't like stepping in it.
Have the guts to tell folks who litter.
And most of all, enjoy ourselves while we model respect for the planet, do internet readings, and make and sell jewelry from the bikes. (The jewelry tools are probably heavier than the gun.)

Anybody got one of those good 1 micron water filters they don't need?
Love ya
THINK GREEN
BLESSED BE

PS I would like to thank Cindy and Nancy for paying for our tent... We love you.  

MOTHER EARTH

AS WE APPROACH MOTHERS DAY I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO REMEMBER YOUR EARTH MOTHER DOUIANA AS I CALL HER, she has been much abused lately and is suffering greatly from the present petro leak in the  Gulf of Mexico..It would be very thoughtful of each of us to perform some small pick up of litter, or prehaps burn less gas this week, remember to turn off lights when not needed and all those little things//unfortunately  we cannot stop the leak of oil for them, but we can pray for thier rapid sucess in doing so, and hopefully force a more conscious [less greed] aspect to future enterprises along those lines...
ANOTHER THING SHE WOULD APPRECIATE IS A B IT MORE LOVE FROM AND TOO ALL OF HER CHILDREN even those you do not agree with..
LET'S ALL GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO GIVE HER AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DO CARE / WE DO LOVE HER / AND WE WILL TRY HARDER TO GIVE HER THE RESPECT SHE SO MUCH DESERVES.
THINK GREEN
BLESSED BE
