High Road Adventure



Up going, rolling along, stalling and coming to a silent stop, 15 minutes of scary flashing, hugging the freeway shoulder barrier area, waiting.
Listening to someone complain about towing and fixing. God I was happy to be off the road and up on the flatbed.
1500 for the tow (good), 4500 to replace the broken part (ok, if he did it right)
Big invite to eat yummy BBQ fish (ok, but no beer cause I'm not spending the night)

I was invited back to go fishing, but we can't communicate. Man these guys got friendly with the questions and statements. The little guy in red is the mechanic, he has two children a boy 18 and a girl 5 years old. His buddy the guy in black and yellow felt I needed to hear that the mechanic had metal balls inserted under the skin of his man-tool. Apparently it helps with the ladies. WAy too much info.

I'm happy to forget the whole day. Except it was Kaia's birthday, and we were going to grandmas to play games and eat cake.

Just took the Opel to Kenting, and Kao town, and it was all good. I just need an ejection seat for catty chatty non- map reading co-pilot.
