Backpacking Planning

I’ve been looking forward to going backpacking for a couple months now. Especially whenever I look at some of Angie’s backpacking photos from previous trips we’ve had to the Elkhorn Mountains. They are located in the Blue Mountains near where I grew up in northeastern Oregon.

Angie and I are planning for a two or three night trip sometime in August to the Elkhorns again. Anyone interested in coming along?

Shubb Capo

This post is for the guitar players.  Here’s a picture of my Shubb capo from a few weeks ago.  A certain little girl who shall go nameless used it for a teething ring last year.  The rubber got all chewed up and the cap on the screw got lost.  The Shubb was a great capo to have for use on my electric guitar when such a need arises.  You can apply just the pressure you need without making your strings go out of tune.

So recently I was looking to get a new replacement capo and was considering getting a G7th because of a recommendation from a friend.  But then I saw the price and wasn’t so excited.  So I planned to get the tried and true Shubb.  Before I pulled the trigger on a new one, I decided to visit their web site to check over their products. Much to my surprise, I found a replacement parts page for Shubb Capos that had the two parts I needed to fix up my old one for a dollar each with no shipping and handling–outstanding!  I ordered them and within a few days I had my old capo fixed up good as new.
