I finally ordered some rain gear for the trip. Before then it was showing tons of rain in the forcast. Now that I have rain gear, it shouldn't rain.

thats why i am packing mine, in hopes we wont need it.

I just picked up my oil filter so I'll be changing the oil either Sunday evening or Monday when I'm off work.

I also got my raingear in!

Nice

I wear skull candy and they aren't that expensive. I found them at Best Buy. One of the few sets I've found that don't hurt my ears.

Did you get any insect repellent yet? I found some at Wall Mart that's 40% deet. That's the strongest I've found. If you need me to, I'll swing by and pick up a can of it for you. Wait...you're like a giant. You may need two cans. Or even three!

I need to find some earplugs. Normally don't wear them, but my helmet seems to be getting noisier... and that is a long ride. The cheap foam ones drive me nuts- they rub on the liner of my helmet and transmit more noise than they block.

Try any gun shops. They usually have kick ass ear plugs.
