a year ago i replaced my battery. Now that one is also shot. I realized now that I replaced a 9amp with a 7amp and that is why it did not last. Back to a new 9amp and very happy.

The class type fuse showed continuity on the multimeter but once in the scoot would not allow current through, weird.

Back home now again but really missing my time there. A few more years and then I will join my daughter permanently in the Stated. Can't wait i have to say.

Not to mention all the flags. Take care and have a good new year.

hahah*luke* i'm here just too much to do and see and no arthritis...yet. I love the way you guys are geared for winter with central heating etc. Back home whilst the winter is not that bad, you grab the old fashioned heater and sit under a blanket (not n snuggie) and wait for summer, here i walk around the apartment with bare feet. Went to the Air n Space museum at Dulles airport Virginia and couldn't believe my eyes when i walked into the Enola Gay didn't even know the plane still exists. Hooters made me sick but Five Guys not too bad. Good to be here in the USA trying to get used to seeing cars approaching from da "wrong" side. My daughter refuses to let me drive and I was the one to teach her to drive back home a few years...damn kids.
*luke* i believe the TSA will tiker with dem hogans going back. Arrived at 6am on Monday and was surprised to see only 3 TSA officials checking passports etc of an entire plane load of people. That took a while. Only asked me the purpose of my visit and stamped my passport and that was it. Today want to see the Fire arm museum here in Fairfax I believe guns belonging to Napoleon and Buffalo Bill are to be seen. The other novelty is to see the reactions of people like shop assistants when they hear my SA accent especially when i speak my mother tongue which is Afrikaans to my daughter. One guy at Starbucks said 'you from SA" and i was surprised. I can see why you guys park the scooter for winter thats for sure.

Well the long wait is over and tomorrow 6pm local time i will board the plane for an 18 hour flight to the US. Rather excited to see your place but mostly to see my lovely daughter. Now if only i could take the Jonway with. See ya Monday 6am Dulles Washington hooray.

Madcollie thank you for that You Tube insert my mind is made up, I will never wear a "snuggie" its awful looks like some religious robe. I will just bring my gown.

I'm getting worried now. Recall my post "Coming to the US". Well its finally about to happen as i fly out this Sunday evening 11 am your time 6pm here. Going to Arlington VA and have been warned to experience cold like i have never experienced before. But even the weather here in Johannesburg South Africa where its supposed to be summer, is slightly abnormal with coolish mornings and unseasonal winds. Perhaps All Gore was right, remember global warming means warmer some places but colder at others.
