So I rode to Hiawasse and went to the British in the Blue Ridge rally this past weekend. I've tried to make it up there every year for the last 5 or so. I had a good time riding with Martina, but the weather was extremely hot. I took some pictures which I posted in an album on my myspace page. The entrance fee was raised to 20 bucks this year, and i don't think i'm going back after this. There are always some cool bikes there, but most are the same each year, and I don't think it's fair to charge someone 20 bucks to walk around and look at the same stuff for an hour that you've seen in previous years.
Yesterday a crack head broke into my truck and stole a bag that had most of my rigging equipment in it. I lost both of my lasers, my best harness, and a bit of my other climbing gear. about 2 grand in new market value, so I'm pretty irritated. It's sort of my own fault I guess, because I've been really good at leaving nothing in my vehicle of any value for the last 7 years or so. After all, how can you expect for anyone to act like a decent person, keep their dirty little paws to themselves, and earn what they have?
I'm going to blanket the local pawn shops over the next couple of days with serial numbers and my police report to see if I can get lucky. It just goes to show that giving money to street people is stupid and only fuels their interest in sticking around your area to cause even more trouble. Lets start a beat a vagrant a day campaign!
