Props to my "Crew Chief"

I'm somewhat mechanically minded, but every once in a while, I get to a point where I just need a little help, and occasionally, its nice to have some "male bonding" time involving tools and coffee.

My friend and occasional riding buddy Clarence "T-Bone" Tidd is the guy I turn to for help to get things done when I'm over my head.

Clarence started helping me last year with Barney when I replaced the Cruise Module and fixed the Water Pump Seal. Mind you, Meagan came out and finished both projects in a shorter time than Clarence and I together.

T-Bone is the kind of guy who always seems to have those tools that I don't own, and will often bring them over and drop 'em off for extended periods of time. Outside of all his help, I really couldn't ask for a better guy to have as a friend.

Well, Clarence was over again tonight assisting with the final prep work on Barney for the trip to Northampton. We got a set of Auxiliary Lights wired up, a bracket fabricated and installed and all the lights aimed to potentially piss off most of the drivers south of the border. At least I'll be seen!

So, tonight, I'm given Clarence a new title. He's now my official "Crew Chief" and "Technical Advisor" for my participation in the 2009 Minuteman Rally.

Thanks Clarence..I couldn't have done it without you!
