Could Use Some Happy Thoughts

[rdprdp01]

Copy that, Ferret. Intellectually, we are in complete alignment. 100%. But emotionally, that motorcycle, those bikes, and this Forum mean a little more to me than they probably should. I am still a work in progress, trying to become an adult.

There is a Restoration Crew in the house, mopping up water and removing the toxic sludge that forms when a fire burns and is extinguished by brave Firefighters. I hope they find the Double-Time-and-a-Half worth the sacrifice of the holiday weekend. We are incredibly lucky to have them working today rather than tomorrow.

If we mask up, the Building Inspector will grant us access to the property to remove what we can and discard what is beyond repair from smoke and water damage. I suspect I will end up with brand-new motorcycle jackets, helmets, boots, gloves, clothing, and computer equipment. I will know tomorrow afternoon when I report on scene:



Regarding the motorcycle, spare parts, bikes, and tools, I am pleased to report that all are salvageable with some detailing and patience. The fire occurred on the opposite side of the garage. The three crews who responded to the call were skilled and experienced. They knew how to locate the source, extinguish the fire quickly, and minimize damage to the structure and contents. The only credit I earned was choosing the right side of the building to set up my happy place. Have a good 4th of July. David
