We have SCOOTER
August 2, 2007
Aloha, Y’all!
Dave here. Haven’t posted anything lately, you know, so here I am with a terribly important update for everyone to see: WE HAVE SCOOTER.
Yup, it’s true. After hitchiking for about 3 weeks, Anna and I have acquired a little 49.5cc scooter to haul our happy arses around this side of the island. It’s red and in great shape and gets about 80mpg. No complaints here, I assure you.
And what have we done since picking it up yesterday? Well, first let me back up a day.
Our friends Jim and Colleen McLelland stepped up to the plate to provide us with a) transportation to Kona and back, b) delightful companionship and company these past several weeks (they’re SO sweet!), and a place to stay with such luxuries as hot and cold running water… the list goes on! Anyway, thank you Jim & Colleen for being such cool people and wonderful friends. We ROCK, yah? And we RULE, too!
Ok, so we have a scooter now, one with a Chockocat sticker right in front. Kinda’ looks like the ‘Bat Cycle’ without the ‘Bat Insignia’ on the front. Way cool! It’s got a little trunk on it, too, and storage under the seat.
So Anna and I loaded up this morning at Jim & Colleen’s house (where we stayed the night), rolled down the mountainside to the highway, and cruised into Keaau to buy veggies and healthy stuff, drove home, turned around and drove all the way to Mountain View, where we are now. We’re at Brent‘s treehouse, actually. Lovely place, three floors high set ‘way back in the trees. We’re gonna’ cook dinner and stay the night. It’s great, too, ’cause we work here and Brent’s great to hang with.
So I’m rambling a bit. It’s been a busy several weeks. We have a bunch of projects in the works and they’re all coming together very nicely. I’m happy.
There it is. Our lives rock, we have some awesome friends, and we have a scooter!
I’m outta’ here!
Dave
