Title: Gertruda unterwegs
Post by: HarroldM on February 27, 2024, 19:27:11

We had a break in the snow cycle this weekend so I took Gertruda to Cafe Leo in Woodland Park Colorado.  That is Pikes Peak in the background

Beautiful.  I wait ages for a break in the weather to take the Pagoda out, and what happens? i break my arm!

I have learnt how to type with my left hand though, albeit very slowly

Oh no!  Quick recovery, Bob!  Hope it's a 'simple' break.

My in-laws are in Northeast Lincolnshire, and we regularly visit them, so I know your pain Bob.  I hope you heal quickly!

Gertruda is white. Gernold installed green leather seat covers a few years ago.  The original green seat covers were tex.  Gernold also put new green carpet in on Gertruda’s last visit.  I got the carpet from KHM in Stuttgart when i was stationed there.  I also got a new green soft top from them that Gernold installed about 15 years ago.

Get well soon Bob... your efforts on the Technical Manual are much appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, i shattered my humerus (nothing funny about that!) at the shoulder ball socket, excruciating!

No cast required, just gravity and exercise to pull everything back into alignment, only 3 weeks later and everything is looking almost normal, although the bone has still to knit together, so no strength in the arm yet, it just hangs there like a loose sleeve

Hope to be back driving and arm wrestling soon!

Gertruda looks cold......she has a bit of a blue look to her.
