  1. Santa was nice enough to bring me a Unistar TX for
    Christmas.

    My brother and I mounted it once or twice in the front room,
    where the ceiling is high enough to accomidate a 6 foot guy
    atop a 5 foot uni. Plus, it has rafters, which helped a lot.

    When we talked my mom into letting us go outside with it
    (it was freezing raining), we mounted with the assistance
    of a large step ladder. However, the ladder got in the way
    of family, so we abandoned it for the tailgate of my
    uncle's truck.

    Well, today, I was determined to freemount the beast. How
    hard could it be? After 10 minutes or so of failure, I
    finally succeeded. I immediately got the brilliant idea of
    going on a five mile ride, since I didn't need something to
    lean on anymore.

    Two and a half miles into the ride, I arrive at the only
    store in Peru,
    ME. I guess I'd gotten used to being 8 feet tall or
    something, but I swiftly hit my head on the roof over
    the b*ke parking area.

    It took more than an hour, including a fairly lengthy break,
    but I finally completed this glorious ride.

  2. I like running errands on the old camelopard. I had a
    similar spell of freemount amnesia on my first trip.
    Knowing there are people watching you fail repeatedly
    doesn't help any.

    Nor does it help that at the store, I picked up a bag of
    chips. It's tough to mount a giraffe one handed, eh?

    Funny how in this forum, no one thinks it's weird if someone says, "I
    tacoed my giraffe..."
