Rastaman, we're here. Just busted and bruised. Had an accident on my electric bike and took a real header. We're also busy with our businesses.
Another story of the unsinkable 67Avion.
We parked it at our daughters house across town, left a window open, hooked up electric, turned on a fan and covered the camper carefully. Several months ago we opened up the camper. Looking inside I saw that the ceiling was stretched downward. I went up on a ladder and the solar panel was smashed and the top was deeply dented by a large limb.
We went to our local camper repair. "no way" he said. I went to my local genius auto repair shop. One look. "No way" he said. So, of course we drove up to Watervliet and Cayo. Chuck Cayo took one look and he said, "no problem". But actually there was a problem. His difficulty in getting employees with the right skill set and the supply chain have pushed his estimated repair into the Fall.
But, you know what , Rasta? That 55 year old aluminum camper will be as good as new when Chuck finishes it. Better, actually, since we'll upgrade the solar and replace some windows.
Imagine the latest 2022 TC in the 2080s. Heh. They won't ever make therm like the old Avion again.And I think my Avion, in the right hands could live to hit a hundred.
It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
