                                                        A Rant


  In a never ending quest to find comfort while riding I ordered some handlebar mitts from Cabela's http://tinyurl.com/yz6xtzThe cost was $20, shipping $6, pretty good deal.  The mitts were exactly as pictured and had I paid more attention I could saved myself some money.  These things are huge, they go from elbow to head light.  Problem is there is no provision for mirrors.  Apparently ATVs don't have mirrors.  No sweat, I'll just use the handy return label and return them to Cabela's. 


  It's a nice 40 degree morning so I pack everything on the REB and figure I'll drop off the package at the UPS store on my way to the YMCA.  This is when things get interesting.  I guess the clerk was new cause there was a manager type telling her everything to do and I don't have a problem with that, everyone has to learn.  I have to sign stuff, give out my e-mail address, phone number, paid with a credit card, more signing, etc.  Cost me $10 to mail the dang things back.  Now I've spent $16 to look at a $20 item.  All my fault, just ranting here.  I sure wish things like were carried locally.  Seems everything you need you have to mail order it and it isn't always as cheap or handly as it appears.  END OF RANT
