| Entering the "freeway" |
THE entire definition of a "mis" adventure is that something planned, however well, goes off the rail. Or possibly "highway."
Since my last post, which by the way, was not untended to be as long in between, I have had a plethora of mis adventures.
Now a wrong turn in Albuquerque may work okay for Bugs Bunny, but me... I'm not so lucky. For me it meant an early morning break-down on I-40, the subsequent failure of my laptop and an unplanned and somewhat costly and boring stay in Gallup NM. With nary a smart alec gray rabbit in sight!

| This is one HUGE continent! My trip covered more than 11,000 km |
Like domino's, a broken serpentine belt under the hood of my FORD F 150, caused a chain reaction that would end up costing a small fortune and lots of grief at my end. And that wasn't the worst of it.
You see, I was on the road from my PEI home to make plans in AZ for selling my southern home, bikes and whatever I could prior to a planned listing of my long time Glendale home and closing the chapter of the last 11 years.
On that note, nothing stays the same or as it's officially known, "the only thing constant, is change."

| Somewhere on the road. |
I am writing this blog from my home office on my ancient little EeePC, net book. Over the next few weeks I will endeavor to fill you in and provide a few photos just so you know I'm not making this stuff up!
After an 11,000 km road trip that I managed to complete in barely 3 weeks and... spending 2 of those weeks behind the wheel, I am absolutely bonkers, completely burnt out and hardly aware which end is "UP."
For now, I am doing the absolutely minimum here at home, unpacking the FORD, arguing with bank staff, and trying to get reimbursed for mechanical work that was poorly and very slowly completed by a well known US chain tire and mechanical enterprise. So... like Awnold... "All be back" I'm downloading photos and trying to get my BP down to normal.
Ciao for the moment, stay tuned and I will be back.
Doc
