It's early, it's dark, I've got no brakes....
The question is, why would wake up at 1:30 am and ride a bike with no brakes down a hill through the woods in the dark and wake his neighbor up?
The short answer is, it's time for an adventure!
HERE WE GO!
A while back, got an offer. Another steemian wanted to bless my family with a large gift, but I would have to travel to another state to get it. It took a little while to get things situated on my end, but today is the day.
I woke up early and got ready. Before 2 am, I decided to save some time and borrow my wife's old bike. The plus side was that it was much quicker than walking. The downside was that it has no brakes... which also added to the plus side, making things much quicker since and
live downhill from me. Soon, I was dragging one foot through the leaf litter as I tried to hang onto my dim flashlight while steering through the dark woods.
Again, having a neighbor like who is willing and able to help is a huge benefit too. Since we've worked some long hard hours doing random jobs together before, doing things like hitting the road at 2 am aren't really that big of a deal. Since we have a six hour drive that will end near the border of Oklahoma and Texas, we should have a long day of daylight available for our task if needed.
I cannot stress enough how much of a blessing the steemit community is. Sure, the platform is incredible too since it is nice to find somewhere that actually pays you for content, but ultimately it is the people that makes the community.
WHAT IS IT PAPA?
A few steemians already know what I'm picking up, but here are a few clues for the rest of you.
- It is large
- It will have to be dismantled
- It is something that I was planning on getting one day anyway
- It'll be perfect for my lifestyle, hobbies, and can help provide an income from home
- We are hoping that it'll fit in the dump trailer.
If you think you have a good guess, let me know what you think below. I'll be sure to show it off before we disassemble it, but you'll have to stop back for that. Trust me, I'll keep you posted!
As always, I'm
