See, just keep things around long enough, and they'll be back in
style...<g>

Well, that's where we'll be Weds night. Thurs with friends in Los Gatos,
Fri and Sat in the City (anyone going on the memorial ride?), and home
again, home again on Sunday. Any Central Coast folks...what kind of shape
is G14 in?? Debating the inevitable Winnebago experience along 1 or cutting
across from the 101.

I just fabbed up a small connector out of 1/8" aluminum...kind of an offset
triangle (look at the side picture); I just laid out one with about 1-1/2"
more offset for the low position. Blue Flame sent me a clever L-shaped
bracket that had two positions...but it looked clunky. I can fax you the
template if you want...

Best story: went with Tenacious G to Bert's; she needs to replace her XS
Quantum (2nd one this year!!!); talked to the sales drone and asked for a
XS Quantum, suggested a few colors. He disappears, comes back, says "Well,
we have a Small..."
