Tuesday March 8, 2016
Monday was a miserable day but I found a break in the drizzle to
take Toxic in for its 3,000 km warranty check.
I have no issues with the bike, it has been wonderful.
I also noticed that Andrea, our Giant Hummingbird is hanging
around pretty close, chasing away Tom Thumb and friends, and perching mostly on
the neighbour’s TV aerial. I still
prefer getting closer action shots right on my windowsill.
We are experiencing issues with Turi, the new dog, and surmise the
problem to be dietary. She was only
accustomed to eating ProCan dog food, nothing else, and we have been using a
different dog food and the very occasional table scrap, and those are not
agreeing with her. As a result, she
has her bed in the garage at night as a precaution. Last night it was a good decision, because
this morning there were four dumps to clear, and she went outside with me for
yet another.. Cristina has a neat
method of bringing in dirt, covering the mounds for a moment or two, then
gently sweep up the entire mess. It
works good!
After
lunch I went to the dealer to pick up Toxic.
$16.50 for the oil change, warranty checks, etc. I noticed that the mechanic really tightened
up the rear brake lever so I barely grab it with my fingertips now.
I
stopped at SuperMaxi and bought some ProCan dog food, original formula, so we
hope this will solve Turi’s problem.
Also, we need to set feeding times to only once or twice per day
according to dog experts I have consulted.
The
early afternoon was just too nice to come back inside so I called Mike and
Lotis in Ucubamba to see if it was OK to cruise by their place. Affirmative, so first I blasted out to
Chaluabamba just to get some extra sunshine, and to fill up the tank.
During
my nice visit with Mike, Lotis, and their dogs Sully and Bella, I was watching
the skies get more obscured and dark and figured that I had better
skedaddle. I made it home just as the
big raindrops began to hit and the thunderstorm began to vent its fury. It has also knocked out our Internet but
apparently the technicians are working on it.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
Al
