gear update: acorn bags

A few months ago Sweetie and I were out walking in our neighborhood and I found a large green canvas bag lying on the sidewalk. Thinking someone might return for it, I left it there, in a puddle under a large tree. Three weeks later, no one had claimed it so on our next walk past that spot I picked it up from its puddled state and brought it home. The bag turned out to be a large cover for a golf bag and clubs, for guests to use at a golf course. I washed and dried it and it turns out the fabric is pretty sturdy stuff. After casting about for ideas and trying in vain to contact a couple of local bag-makers, I decided to contact Ron over at Acorn Bags to see if he'd be interested in re-purposing the fabric into one or more of his designs. There's a lot of fabric and I'd let him keep the rest to play with. He was highly interested, and yesterday I boxed up the golf bag and sent it off. He will look it over and tell me if it'll work (I'm pretty sure it will).

For a reduced price I may end up with a nice set of bags that I will put on the Rivvy LongLow. Stay tuned.
