    The iced tea and gardening sounds okay, if it's not too hot -- but that's a heck of a lot of mulch to spread by yourself!

    I love your husband's bag. I guess I need to google Filson bags, because that's a new brand to me.

    I love the bag. I'd like to be at your house with you in your garden drinking ice tea. Or maybe just bring my bike there and go on a ride with you.
    I'm so sad with all the rain we have been getting we can't get out and do anything.
    Can I come play with you in your garden?

    Texas has really been getting it bad, it was a year ago this week that my house was flooded but at least it wasn't completely destroyed. I'm getting out of here and going condo.

    Interesting.
    That's not a bike-specific bag?
    How/Where did he get the rear brace for it and what did he use to develop the wrap around under the lock-nut for his stem?

    But I agree with Zen...I think your hub got the better end of the deal.

    OK Donna. You make and serve us the iced tea all day and "supervise", and I'll shovel the mulch. Then we'll go for a nice easy ride and stop for ice cream at Ralph's Cafe in town on the way back.

    Filson is a very old company that makes classic outdoor clothing and camping gear. They don't make bike bags, but my DH made panniers and a front bike bag out of Filson's "field bags".

    And hunting and fishing bags.
    I was once enveloped in a bear hug by the Delta baggage claims manager in Salt Lake City. My Filson bag had gone astray and he was waiting on pins and needles to find out whose it was and was overcome when he discovered a woman owned it.

    Fortunately, my husband is very tolerant of such things.

    And if you want to go classy leather (though heavy), you could modify a JW Hulme bag.

    No, that's my choice!- I can ride whenever I want to- and I do!
    But I'm looking forward to putting in the mulch and seeing how lovely my gardens look afterwards- can't wait!
