Ode To A Second Car

We have gotten so active (I hesitate to say "busy" because how busy can you get retired for God's sake!) that a second car will be nice.

Typically, one of us ends up sitting around Boquete for a couple of hours a day waiting on the other to finish something. Or you simply skip an activity because the arrangements drive you crazy.

Yesterday, I took Yella into town at 2 for her thing, and I had to wait until 4 for my thing, then hers was over at 4 so she had to wait for me until 6, when I was done.

Phew! That will chew a big hole in a day.

Interestingly enough, that isn't so bad.

I went to Romaro's supermarket to look for fish. No fish fillets. So I went out to the car, rolled down the window and took a nap...in the rain...it was great!

We successfully purchased the first truck on Sunday. I don't know if you remember but we were going to flip this truck and get another one.

So the first phase of the triple flip is completed.

Our friend has it and is putting new tires on before he sells it to the 2nd buyer. We will then take the proceeds and buy the next truck.

I can't wait.

Unfortunately, the old car will have to go into the body shop for some repairs, therefore rendering us "one car" again for a couple of weeks.

It is always something...

Oh well, what else have we got to do? Well, besides all our activities, of course.
