World famous.
9 months agoLoved the last two entries from the each of you. Honestly, this writing should be made into a published book!!
9 months agoHa! He was adjusting the fans of the a/c so it wouldn’t blow directly onto the bed.
9 months agoYes, that’s about right. There is a concrete post for each to grow on.
9 months agoYou summed up the misery that is air travel very well. The airlines, like most other corps, are devoid of creativity and run by short-sighted snotty-nosed MBAs who are driven to are driven to squeeze every last cent of value for themselves and the shareholders, at the expense of their customers. And we customers are complicit. We tolerate this cattle car treatment, and sort of deserve it by collectively looking for the bottom dollar price. I certainly do. But, it's a means to an end.
9 months agoThis might be my favorite of your repair stories .. along with the Keen sandal fix.
And the photos!!
This is such a great story that it will go into the Grumby Gratitudes box.
"They love it. They do it. They absolutely reek at it. But it makes them so happy!"
That's an image that makes me feel happy!
An inspiration to sing along with my dopamine playlist sometime today.
Here's to rest days to carry the nervous systems back into the window of tolerance. And a repair for Bruce's rear rack!

Over 5 feet tall?
Great story Bruce. I love the ‘use’ of his safety equipment…glasses on top of his head, mask under chin and bare feet in sandals 😱 You can’t make this stuff up!

9 months agoEvery post is a wonderful walk down memory lane! Everything gets fixed, reused or repurposed in Vietnam. The people are so friendly, industrious and resourceful. I’m sitting inside while it’s dark and-12°C, drinking coffee, dreaming of being where you are - sitting on a small stool, drinking an iced coffee, in the 33°C shade. Keep posting and I’ll keep vicariously travelling along.
9 months agoI was super tempted but it was just too early in the trip and we were too far away from Thailand where I've mailed many packages home via seamail and have never lost one yet. I don't trust mail from other countries in Asia but Thailand is great. Their post offices are all very cute in addition.
9 months agoAwww, you could always strap it upside down on your newly repaired rack. It looks like a lovely addition to any bicycle tourists kit.

A journal entry about nothing. It kind of reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. :-)
