Tuesday January 31, 2017
Sunday, we were going to go back and ride Buzzer on the same road
where I had the accident, but not as far.
Jeff and friends found a country house that they are considering renting, and
we were going to ride there. Ominously,
the weather was cold and dreary, the same as Nov 30. Then we got an early morning email that LT
was to pooped to ride but, not being a quitter, I arranged to meet Jeff. However, providence kicked in and, sorry for
Jeff, his moto just would not start.
Secretly I breathed a sigh of relief and trotted back home. It really was not a nice day for a ride.
Monday was another backsliding day where I was
feeling especially numb and weak. Other
than walking the dogs 4 times, I did not venture outside. 2 of our 3 gas tanks decided to be empty at
the same time so we were forced to choose between hot water and cooking. And, usually we hear the gas trucks beeping
their way around the neighborhood several times per day but, of course, …. not
this day.
Today I caught the first gas truck in the morning,
thank God.
We didn’t much
planned today except to go get the two helmets left for painting. But first I decided to take Cristina downtown
for lunch at T-Rex Burgers, run by old buddy Cesar Mejia, but either we are
blind, or it wasn’t open. It is at 6-57
Benigno Malo & Presidente Cordova and we walked that stretch 3 times. We have heard that the burgers and hotdogs
are great so we wanted to check it out. Anyway,
another place got our business today.
While walking, I looked back and did a double-take... There were our friends Dick and Pauline B. from New Brunswick!! They were being accompanied by their/our buddies Ed and Lynne! Talk about happenstance and small worlds...

I also went to a little sign-maker on Sucre to get
a sign made for Buzzer. More on that
later, when it is finished.
We made it home, had an obligatory nap and then
went to see the fellow about my helmets.
As usual, only one of the two was ready, and naturally it is my
favourite that was just too fresh to take today. He said It could be ready tomorrow but I
almost always double the time given by Ecuadorians and, even then, I am too
early half the time. Oh well, #3 is done and decalled...
All photos taken with the Lumix (which I finally was able to reset to operate the flash as I want....).
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement. Cheers, Al
