Thank you James Deuce
You saved my arse today and I bet you didn't even know it.
I had an important project starting today. I created a digitisation facility at the National Library back in 2003 called the Heritage Materials Imaging Facility, which specialises in the digitisation of oversized and fragile heritage materials at incredibly high quality resolutions (150 mexapixel equiv.).
The National Library is undergoing a renovation and the staff and facilities embarking on a massive diaspora to all all corners of Wellington and its hinterlands. And unfortunately, in the revamp there's no room for the HMIF. So we had to find a new home, and Archives New Zealand have been wonderful in accomodating us.
It's been a pretty large project for me requiring the movement of some very delicate and expensive equipment and I had people turning up to move all this equipment this morning.
And my rear tyre blew going up Haywards this morning. Nail in it again.
I stopped at the top and checked the rear - going down fast, and dammit I had to get to work.
And then I remembered - under the seat. The Genuine Innovations Puncture Repair Kit you'd given me for my 40th birthday 2 and a half years ago.
I got to the Library with 3 minutes to spare.
Thanks heaps mate.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
