So Much Has Happened


We are sorry that it has taken either of us so long to post to the blog, it isn't due to nothing happening I can tell you that! Well as you know we got out of hospital, but those next weeks were incredibly hard and scary. Dan was having an intestinal blockage every other day, I must say with the help of a wonderful forum on the net and Kevin's skill to tap into lots of great info and the grace of God, we seem to have mastered this. Things still have curves, but we are doing well at reversing things before it gets into the real trouble zone. It was not long before Dan wanted to go for a ride, so we thought we would take him for a one hour jaunt or so. The powers that be had other plans, maybe 40 mins from home we got a flat tire. Kevin has all the stuff to fix this, so we think "oh well, this stinks...but we will just fix it". Wrong! it isn't just a flat the valve stem is shot, so now what? Kevin calls someone in the BMW Anonymous Book, a wonderful man by the name of Mike Kowal in fact. As luck would have it he has his own business- MG Cycles- and he knows all about fixing BMW's. This lovely man cam out and took our tire off, ran it home,fixed it and brought it back to us along with cold drinks. We were so fortunate as how we get Dan home when something like this happens is not worth thinking about.
