I can count the days on one hand of fingers, keeping the thumb for hitching

Four days and counting?

Did I mention I never get nervous? I don't. Seriously, never have a need for this emotion that troubles so many people.

I received a delivery confirmation today that my cylinders were dropped on my doorstep around 1:09PM. Nope, I checked and they were not outside. Did panic set in? Not at all. It's just another thing to deal with. After driving around and walking up to each door of this condo complex, I returned home empty-handed. I knew in my heart that the departure date may be changed, but my determination will not decrease.

It is now 8:00OM. Dinner was a slow-roaster chicken which was stuffed with chunks of onion and covered with butter, olive oil, thyme, oregano, lime juice and black pepper. To top that off, the doorbell rang and my neighbor told me she saw a large box at the doorstep of the condo just west of here. I ran over and saw this beautiful cardboard box tucked behind some very full hedge bush, out of sight.

Barbara became my hero!

I brought the box home and opened it to see these perfectly matched, machined, polished parts sleeved in bubblewrap.

Tomorrow is Sunday and normally a day of rest, however, I have other plans. Assembly of Italian parts and pieces is in my plans.

so that I can Mozi on....
