[HAMR] Had a dream last night
« on: 09 February, 2015, 09:46:44 pm »
Steve came to stay.

Fed him and sent him to bed and the next thing I knew was it was morning, all the batteries were flat, there was a touch of food poisoning, no GPS had been uploaded, and a piece of the bike was in a bad, bad state. A state that required four people to work on it for quite a few hours including a trip to the local hardware store to get stick-mendy stuff.

Steve was very relaxed about it all...
It is simpler than it looks.

That's very similar to a panic dream I had recently.

On checking yacf, I became aware that Steve was in trouble.  For some reason that no one could understand, he was in Lampeter and in a state of total exhaustion.
I realised that it was down to me for the rescue, told you lot to tell him I was on my way and off I rode. 
I met him surprisingly closer to our place than should have been possible (it's a dream, see?) and successfully shepherded him home, where Mrs. B had cooked everything we had.
So far so good.  Then I realised I had to deal with all the technical stuff.  I'm not brilliant at technical stuff, but in the dream I was much, much worse.  Steve was sleeping and I had to keep waking him up to ask things.  I asked you lot for advice and you'd say things like "Check his chain", to which I'd respond with, " OK, I've checked.  He's definitely got one"
Steve also asked me to plot flat route out of Wales.  Erm.

That's the worst night's sleep I've had in a long time.  I woke up totally exhausted from a 6 hour panic attack.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Has Steve arrived yet Jaded?

Let me know when he does. I want to come down and stare at him.

We are following him on the tracker. I think it will be a while yet if he is going to do 200m

He is near Tetbury just now.

<edit>it is very exciting!!</edit>

Should have sent him round here - I'm in Lampeter.

Looks like he plans on being in Cardigan for three nights in July, so perhaps that's the time to go and see how he's getting on. I have no idea how he plans on getting there, but I assume he's not planning on braving the Tregaron Mountain Toad.

...

I thought that said "following him on the tractor" - presumably for the shit 'n' eggs.

I've been following Steve's methods quite closely; I conclude he'll almost certainly ride there.
