Lost my patience with the mechanics today. Drive shaft differential was in, and they said no more oil leaks. I actually believed them. I took it for a ride, and there was still oil.
Ive been buddha for a long time. This set me off. The mechanics son asked when are you coming back I said one year, two years. I told you guys to take the silicone off and change it. Ive waited 10 days for the parts you could have done it then.
I had to walk off because I know thats how they do things down here. Things get done when they get done. I guess I was most upset that he said the oil was old.
So, Im going back there to apologize, and give them the jb weld.
Another day in Leon.....
A Philosophy on Life, Adventure, Happiness and Fear
This blog's for ME
Almost 25 years old, asking my parents if I can sleep in their bed with them. I had thought I was going to be the 25th Prime Minister of Canada. Things had changed. 10 years later, I was still a scared little boy. The time had come to slap myself awake. One Saturday morning, November 19th, 2009, I declared to the world I would be riding my 10 year-old motorcycle from Vancouver, BC Canada to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and back.
The official departure was August 28th, 2010. A group of well-wishers saw me off at 8:03 am.
I arrived in Rio de Janeiro around 6 pm March 1st, 2011.
My return to Vancouver came on July 5th, 2011 about 2:00 pm.
Drug & alcohol abuse, ADD, social anxiety, health, chronic pain, night terrors.
So many concerns. But I am far more interested in this question: Do I have the capacity to make this trip despite all my shortcomings?
My mission: To inspire myself to face my fears, enlighten myself on how all living things can peacefully co-exist, enjoy every moment, and see the world as plentiful and generous.
Go ahead. Call me crazy. Call me anything you like.
I'm out to save my world.
I LOVE YOU ALL
