"Damn!"

I'm sure there's gonna be lots more of these moments over the coming months, and every one of them is gonna cost me some money.  Try as one might, there are things you don't even remember you have until the day comes that you go to use it.

 I'm sure I've told you how long lasting the batteries in my bike are, and as such I charge them about twice a year.  This is the first time since I got my new machine that the need arose.  Guess where the charger is.....or rather was?  Yup! In the RV....the old one that is.

One hundred and twenty bucks later!!  Damn!! That wasn't the worst of it though.  The initial panic that set in was way worse.  I didn't know for sure if I could get one locally by the weekend, but the nice man at To Wheels in London came through big time.  He actually robbed one from a bike he's getting ready for  customer, and will simply replace it for the guy asap.  Thanks Mike!!

And it was another busy. busy day of preparation.  Aside for shopping for all the stuff we don't have any more....the stuff I knew about....I also got my bike all spic and span.

Swim tomorrow morning, and then more prep.

  2. Keep a list and the receipt. The insurance company knows you forgot stuff and will pay for legit things like this.

  3. Exceeding the limit is just like life; one damn thing over and over again.
