I hear that phrase once and I have often though about it. An embarrassment of
riches. You have so much good stuff that you are uneasy that your life is so
good.
I have a whole bunch of really good friends, so that I am often just
flabbergasted. Since I left home Murray has been worked on by Andrew Barnes in
a campground on the Texas border, by Kirk, Peter,Bob and a whole group of
surgeons in San Antonio, and when we were stumped Peter flew in a specialist on
a Sunday. Dan has worked on Murray more times than I can count, and tonight
Chris, who I only recently met was on his back learning about cables and
adjusting the clutch. The fact that when I got in to go home the bus would not
go at all, nothing, no going in any gear, forward or reverse, was not his
fault, Dammit! We told him to tighten that cable and tighten the crap out of it
he did. Mark, who is a Prince, had to pull out his lights and tools again, jack
the bus up and get under and unadjust.
But that is not Chris' fault, well, maybe..., NO, he is blameless.
You may have noticed that I am describing other people working on my bus, and
you may say, "Is Denis just standing there with his tool in his hand?" And, in
my defense I have to say, well, yes. But that is because, while I did build
Murray with my own two hands, I had wonderful people telling me, step by step,
what to do. And the people are helping me now just, more or less get tired of
watching me take forever to loosen a friggin' bolt.
So God sends me wonderful people to help me.
I post too long and too often, so I'll get off now, but I feel that I must tell
you all what you are to me, an embarrassment.
