it is starting to come together pretty well.  i might not have
everything in place by this ride, but this will give me some good
experience for the "kick off" spring ride (some people stop riding when
it is cold.  i guess i'm not just a "fair weather rider").

after i get most of it down i will share what i used and how on my site.
   since i can't really contribute code wise to anything i try to help
out in other ways.

heck, in Daytona last year for Bike Week i met some bikers from west
Texas.  during the course of the weekend i overheard a cell call with
one (he was beside me at the bar) talking to someone about updating
their BSD servers.  afterward we had many beverages and argued over
distro's much to my friends amazement. :D

lol, well I've always heard that if you want to really know someone to
take a road trip with them.  i'm going to be putting it (somewhat) to
the test with my rider.  we'll see how she fairs by day three. i've
already got her enjoying her linux laptop and riding motorcycles so
things are looking up. :)

quit putting it off!  there's always going to be "something" that comes
up.  send me some pics of the bikes when you get a chance too.
