Sunday 2 January Chris on Bike in Front of Tent with Smile

Dear Family and Friends,
Sunday snuck up on me.  It is a day off but I forgot it was coming.  What do you do on a day off?  Well, I slept in an extra hour, grabbed breakfast to go, rode out to the worksite with another friend and stripped the flat tire off my bike.  Yes, I bought a Chinese knock-off mountain bike with front and rear suspension.  Caliper brakes are pretty sporty but they forgot to powder the tubes resulting in a flat.  Of course, I rode on it awhile because it presented itself on the back tire (hard to see).  The roads are pretty washboard bumpy and I'll be more observant next time.  With the tire off, I can ride the bus to the soldier's board walk and get a replacement from the Hadji shop where I bought the bike and get some baby powder to avoid future incidents. 

Some enterprising mind dreamed up an elevated board walk with many little shops elbow to elbow aroung the outer perimeter.  Inside the board walk is a band stage tucked into the corner, hockey rink (sans ice... just concrete) and full basketball court of course... with a concrete base.

No bombers lately.  Cross your fingers.  Went to church to pray this morning (Mary Ellen has been on my mind lately) and will be playing with their little band next week.  Oh boy!

After we get another tube, I'll fix the flat at the work site and ride the bike back to the tent and wait for dinner.  Can I fix a flat?  Does Carters have pills?  Silly question.... time passed and flat is fixed (can't you see the smile on my face?)

That's all for today...
Love,
Chris
Again congrats TCU.
