Ah yes, whatever CAN go wrong, etc. and so forth. We're waiting at the hotel to be picked up; our hosts gave us an old cell phone to use in case of emergencies. They told us to turn it on this morning and they'd phone us on their drive here. You get ONE guess here: what quit working (and won't turn back on) 15 minutes after I turned it on this morning?
That's me, outside the hotel, pointing at the culprit. It seems to be working once it was hooked up to a charger for a while, but it's an old phone with an OLD battery, so anything's possible. Maybe it'll hold... maybe it'll drain right when you want it the most.
5:45 PM -- Back in Châteubriant
We've been home for almost four hours. As soon as we got here, lunch was served out in the yard (under some of the nicest skies we're seen since we've been here) and then it was time for me to engage in one of my most enjoyable hobbies: pretending to be a mechanic. Outside of forgetting to pack the stoker's handlebar in with the first layer and discovering this in layer 4 of 6, everything else went fairly smooth and the tandem is packed away and ready to transport. Did I mention how PERFECT the weather is here today for a ride???
