Bob,

The post was tongue in cheek...

(no Jiminex, not that cheek; don't get your hopes up)

I understand how hard it can be to get away when you run your own
business.  Although I often go to Brazil, I actually have an office
there and I usually work the same hours as I do here.  Nights and
weekends belong to my sweetheart, though.  :^)

The trip to the Amazon jungle was something I'd dreamed of doing
since I was a teen -- way before I ever thought I'd really do it.  It
somehow stayed with me over the years until one day I found myself
married to a Brazilian.  Even then, the Amazon was still just one of
those things I thought I'd do "some day".  But when I got sick with
cancer there was a time when I didn't know if I would make it or not
(thankfully, I had Jiminex to encourage me :)).  I promised myself
that if I survived I was going to start doing some of those "some
day" things now while I still can.

Well, I made it.  Supposedly I'm cancer free.  So I booked a flight
to Manaus, signed on for a fishing expedition deep in the jungle and
did it.  The big M109 was another of the things I'd always wanted to
do but as you know I was already working up to it before I knew I was
sick.  You'd like the looks of it, by the way.  I swapped the pegs
for shorty platforms, raised the bars a little and installed 32
lights -- mostly blue.  Every place where chrome, plastic and metal
come together there's a halo of blue light.  The wheels glow like
neon blue discs at night.  A few nights ago a cop pulled up next to
me at a light, hit his siren for a split second and rolled down his
window.  Thinking he was going to say, "Pull over," I turned to look
and he said, "Nice bike!"

Heh, heh, heh...
