The sparks are flying in Houston! That's Hal grinding off his old chain. We put the new one on, but need a press tool to put the master link in. That will have to wait until tomorrow. Meanwhile, my bike is in a BMW shop here with as yet undefined electrical problems. The master BMW mechanic is supposed to be in tomorrow, and with some luck he can prescribe a fix. The ordinary mechanic couldn't do it. There are no BMW dealerships in New Orleans, so I guess I'm stuck here until my bike is fixed. The people at the BMW dealership are suprisingly hel[ful, even though they haven't been able to fix my bike yet. They lent me a Triumph Rocket III as a loaner. They don't call it the Rocket III for nothing. It's got a 2300cc engine with 140HP! Tomorrow is supposed to be a terrible weather day, so we probably wouldn't be going anywhere anyway.The other shot there is of Ben and Kara. Ben's doing well, but can't get in to see the specialist until Thursday. The actual course of treatment is as yet undetermined.
We're staying at a good hostel here in the Museum District. It's not too far from downtown, the people here are great, and the price is right. There are worse places to be stuck for an extra day or two.
