Ray was at the dentist. I was quietly sitting in the living room ready a good book when I suddenly heard this incredible sound from outside our house. The worst muffler noise in San Blas and it was sitting and revving outside my house. Time to check on this delinquent. It was my friend Carl and he had come to take me for a ride in his wife Joy's boogie!!!!Let's go!!!!
My first dumb question was, "Are there and seat belts?" "Sure," says Carl, "But they don't work!" We were flying through the back streets of San Blas. Taking flight over potholes bigger than the boogie. I was hanging on to the roll bar over my head thinking to myself that this was just like being on a midway ride and I gave them up years ago!!!! What the hell were we doing!!!!! Having a blast is the answer.
Back to the house to pick up Ray. We rounded the block and there were the neighbourhood kids waving and jumping up and down with excitement in seeing their crazy Canadian neighbours driving a boogie. I got it into second and then third. Never made it into fourth. The little machine is very gutsy!!! Goes like stink!!!!On one open stretch I flew through a puddle on Ray's side and that started the whining. "No more puddles!!!! I'm soaked" and honestly when we got back to the house it looked like he had on leopard skin shorts. It was too funny. He really was covered with mud!!!!
The whole time I was in the boogie I had this stupid inane grin on my face that I couldn't take off. It was just so much fun. Dangerous but fun and we survived yet again!!!!Gotta love San Blas!!!!!!
