Tim,
Wanted to add that the generally shared values of helpfulness and exploring and discussing of all things bike on this forum is the reason I like coming here, not to mention the silly banter that goes on between the regulars.
I have learned so much here, and would like to think that I have helped others--helping and sharing has always been a priority for me, and I would hope that that comes across to others from my interactions with folks here.
I forget sometimes that some people don't come on here regularly and are not familiar with me or my often bad sense of humour, and I clearly didnt express myself properly.

on topic, like Lee, I finally figured out that putting my gloves, bandana, sunglasses and bike computer carefully in my helmet ALWAYS was the best way to avoid the wasted time of "where is this, where is that" in the morning....
not to mention always putting the same pannier in the same spot on my tent floor, helps with a sleepy morning head for not trying to find something

I would add again, all common sense stuff.
