    Take it one thing at a time.

    Here I'm thinking Timm with 2 m's (1st m being silent), being a toyota mechanic, had 2 finely tuned machines.
    Tim with 1 m (that isn't silent) was right. You need to get smacked on the nose with a newspaper. :D

    Of course! They make all kinds of bags. ;)

    I've been accused of trespassing before, also. Except that it was grown-ups on Facebook, accusing our group of running closed trails, or ATV trails, when they themselves didn't understand the rules. :der:

    They even have bags to hold your bags.

    Our Fuji service guys all use the Milwaukee stackable rolling carts.
    Some of those cross country guys check that heaviness onto flights and lug it around everywhere.

    Edit: When I went to AVF that bag weighed more than me.
    I could've cut a tree down, exhaust off, changed an axle or tie rod, change/patch/fill a tire, comfortably taken a crap with warm dry feet, driven an extra 34 miles, drink dirty river water....and the bag wasn't full.
    I felt a little overprepared than some but probably not as much as others.

    I’ve got a small Milwaukee one that came with my grinder or something. Fits that plus some batteries and charger

    also have one of these. Gonna need either another one or to upgrade one of these days.

    As a single dad, it's not like I have a ton of cash to just buy tools whenever I want, nor do I have a ton of time to keep up with things. Especially with an asshole boss who doesn't let some people work on their personal stuff in the shop. Whereas other people get free reign to do whatever they want.

    Besides, i do have some tools in the truck... Not as many as I would like. But also I don't want to carry a whole shop in each truck lol

    And, as the designated mechanic they (everyone) wants you to work on their stuff. When I bike I carry nothing thus I don’t have to do anything but offer advice…. Hey Timm, got a small problem with my Tacoma….

    Home Depot has a nice selection of bags of good quality for a bit less than Milwaukee.

    Update: started work on the truck with the little one's help.

    Aaannnddd she smoked her head on the lowered tailgate. Huredly packed everything back up and got her looked at. Nasty bump and cut but she'll be fine.

    Can't wait for whatever bad luck is next

    Sometimes you have to listen to the Universe. Perhaps this voyage wasn't meant to be.
