The Trophy Wife

Okay so it happened again.  I am not sure how it happened, all I know is we went in for a part for my bike and Wooly came out with a new bike.   I still not sure it is all a dream except the garage got cleaned and we now have 6 bikes in there.... Some times it is hard to remember why we have so many bikes but any one who rides knows different bikes for different reasons...  
Any way we have a new girl in the garage she is shinny and a great looking bike some thing I would design with lots of black instead of chrome yep she is a beauty.  Fast ? yep she is a screaming eagle... You know the big engines design to go faster then one might want to go.   Oh wait I am talking about bikes men think there is no such thing as to fast, lol... no such thing to them...
Any way we walked in Wooly feel in love and what really sealed his fate is he took the thing for a test ride.   That was it he was in love and she was coming home with us.    Good thing I am okay with all these other women/bikes in his life.  Any way went in for a 45 dollar part came out with an expensive trophy wife.
So we get her home and introductions are in order... I first introduce her to my bikes, I have less bikes then Wooly and well my bikes do not effect his bikes so the easier introductions first.  Mydol and the Submarine are introduced and every thing is good as these bikes will never compete for Wooly's love... Then comes introducing Wooly's bikes to Wooly's new bike.  Etiquette  told me that you introduce the elders first so we start with the Mistress... I introduce and tell the Trophy wife that the Mistress will always come first just get over that now and there will be no oil spilled.  The first wife is being rebuilt right now and she is on the lift not quit a rolling chase but should be by the end of the day.   The new wife was in the shop getting serviced so introducing her came later... So all is well The Trophy wife is settling into her spot in the garage and the girls are all getting along so far....   Thinking two thoughts here... If Wooly kept cleaning the garage there is room for  three more in there... And Next is I am going to have to upgrade my engine so I can keep up with him and the Trophy wife.

The trip of a life time part

Now last time Wooly and I went to Japan I had made the statement that it was a trip of a life time, I mean really what are the odds of ever going back to Japan???   Well pretty good as we have just finished that trip again... First let me say as a young girl I dreamed of traveling to far away place and jumping feet first into their culture and way of life.  I never thought I would get to do this, especially as I was to short for any military services,lol...  But I have just finished that long, ass aching trip to Japan again and this time I had another plane to hop when I got there.  A five hour lay over and another plane, a nice express ride on the subway.  I nice lady helping us find our way out of subway and putting us in a taxi and we finally made it to a hotel for the night.
 Now you have to remember we had been traveling a straight  28 hours by this time and we finally make it to a bed... Rather small by American strands but a bed...   A much needed try to sleep even though your body is telling you "Hay dumb ass it is day time!" But for now I am getting a little ahead of my trip...
Now usually plane trips are boring, maybe some turbulence to wake you but no this very long trip from Chicago to Tokyo was not really as boring as it should have been, lol...
 First let me say, I checked, really I did... I have a food allergy, no really it is classified as "Highly sensitive"  To soy!  Yep some thing the Japanise use for every thing in one shape or another... So knowing that I am on Asian airlines and that most my food would be typical Asian food I checked the menu before leaving so I would know what not to eat... Yep would have been smart as I checked both menus but me being me and slightly dysfunctional I checked lunch/dinner and breakfast.  I knew I could not have the Samon as it was cooked in a soy sauce and had soy souce on it... I had the chicken, yucky, not quite right chicken..
But the second meal instead of being the breakfast I checked was another full meal... No choice just here what you get... I ate the fruit, drink the wine, and had some beef and rice... Wrong thing to do, the beef had to have been cooked in soy sauce and shortly  after eating I started to fell hot, like hot flashes hot.  My stomach bloated to almost twice it's normal size and I had to get to the toilet fast, really fast... Glad I was right by one... Well my meal had to get out of my stomach and to put it nicely it came out by any office possible... I went back to my seat still pale as a piece of paper... The stewardess  notice haw pale I was and kept asking you running a fever. ( in her best English)  I keep telling her no I was okay, she watch me like an Eagle stalking pray.  I was trying really hard to convince her I was okay in-between trips to the bath room... But it was Wooly who stepped it up and convinced here that I was only having a hot flashes... But I swear there was a lot of masked people following me through customs and immigration... and that there was a lady waiting at the end of immigrations  pointing to the sign about you must report to the nurse if you have experence any fever during flight.
I know that the Japanese they are still really freaked out about the bird flu so seeing myself being quarantined for the 16 days I just keep walking... I was surprised when no one tackled my ass and dragged me back but was happy I was going to get a 5 hour lay over and one more flight before I land on Hokkido Island in Japan... I think I fell asleep in the airport first time for both getting sicker then shit on a plane, and falling asleep while traveling...
