Home

I hate it when posts disappear. This one did, so maybe you´ve seen this before, just skip it.

I want to keep this for me :-)

So, our HOMO finally became HOME after all.

And this new Cuban pic hides the ugly cutout switch board, too. The red car so fits to the red board and, well, we´ve been to Cuba, so… even if HOME above suggests Cuba is it, hey, my heart is a wee bit home there. The people there are poor but so alive. They live their music, it´s an amazing place.

You might get the impression we live at or in a train station.. a second old-fashioned clock is added:

And the ugly corner across is gone now, too:

And some holiday-feeling was added to our loo (the one most people ask if this is the guest-toilet. No. It´s the only one):

Ingo cleaned up a bit, found this and gave it to me:

It´s an original cover for the left cap of our Moped´s tank.

He gave it to me cause a funny story is involved.

The moped was built in 1978, the year Harley Davidson switched from advance- to retarded ignition or the other way round. The ignition always was a problem.

Ingo got the Moped from the United States in separate parts and reassembled her by himself.

The manual was out again due to the ignition.

As it sometimes is… when you´re too much involved in a problem you might not be able to see it.
Ingo, graduated Engineer, and his friend, car mechanic, were trying to find the problem.

I came in, looked at the blueprint, then had a closer look at the Moped and said, well, guess it´s …
I wasn´t 100% right but brought them much closer to the solution.

Ingo was proud of me.

His friend, though… he´s that old-fashioned: His wife has a driver´s licence but cannot drive. So he drives her everywhere. When being at the grocery he waits in the car!!! Like those old, fat guys. A woman´s place is the kitchen in his eyes.

So… he knows I´m a graduated Engineer, too, but suppose he neglected that fact.

It was the most funniest thing for me for a while to banter him about it, like, hey, wasn´t that difficult to find out with the Moped, huh?!

Until Ingo asked me to stop cause that guy got really mad.

A woman!!! Ha.

And Ingo said back then, she´s ours now. And now I have one piece of her here :-)
