Hanged around Portimão all day today, now I kind of want something to do a trackday on.

There was van action today, something for everyone. And also :

It bothers me that you don’t get an invitation to visit someone for a warm dinner at least.

I was looking at it for miles waiting for the right spot

Report impending over the next few days

How can January be a dry month with all that rain?

I once faked covid symptoms, that was an easy out to a trip to Spain.

You could go and visit them, get drunk on their booze and then you can’t drive home! There, solved it!

And also took Maria’s car to go shopping

Went up to the Dainese outlet and somehow now solved my pants problem by buying something with gore tex, plus my first ever pair of proper touring boots. I’m used to more casual boots more like work boots with proper leather and stitched soles. Hopefully this’ll feel better in the proper winter and rain. Will leave my rain gear at home, and that’ll free some space in the right case.

Don’t be so hard on yourself… See? You’re doing something!

Tomorrow am going to meet up with Sofia in the Alentejo somewhere, then heading to the Algarve for a couple of days and then avoid the rain for a few days more. Just found out my Dainese touring pants are falling apart, fabric just tore open near some seams. Pretty disappointed, bought them in the end of 2021, and they have no more than 4 or 5 thousand kms.

It’s not ok for you to be home in the snow with no heat or hot water, isn’t there a friend that would be happy to take you for a few days?

He did say it might turn wet and soft, maybe no inches

No, I had the Transalp back then, I bought it a month or two before DSUK started. I only bought the 1150 in early 2014, and traded it for the 1200 in January 2016.

Waiting for a burguer while at my favourite spot for a stop going home.

You only heard of the 1150 after I sold it though, from the Morocco reports. When this forum came up I already had the 1200.

Any of them, I meant BOTY or December.

All four of them.

It’s included in BOTY. You have to give up a month to have BOTY. Not that you submitted a picture to any of them, so gear up for January.

It could be, but it’s not Like I said, submit that picture and it’ll be on the poll for sure. Bit lame, though FYI, all these are Pete’s rules, not mine.

You’ll love the Azores and Madeira!
