More fancy bag goings on

I've been using my new Pelican/Swift Industries bag for the last couple weeks. I really like it. My original idea was to a big bag that sort of stayed on my RB-T. But it's so easy to move around, I've been swapping it between my RB-T and my 720. I also don't like leaving on my bike downtown for more than a couple minutes, so I take it off when I'm gone for more than a minute or two.

A really good friend (and impossible-to-replace P2P volunteer) is moving on Monday. Ken and Siobhann are moving to Minnesota. We're hosting their going away party tonight. Ken is a big fan of DeLeons carnitas, so I went down and got 5 lbs of pork, some salsa, and some DeLeon tortillas. I packed it, along with a bunch of other crud in the bag and even had little room to spare.

Great bag.
