He patched it and while inflating it, it blew up! Neighborhood dogs started barking and I thought someone was target practicing. We were fresh out of tubes, so he got everything ready for the ride and drove to a bike shop in Greenville to buy a couple of tubes and some flat proof tires. The new tube was installed and he started out. After 9 minutes, another flat. He fixed that one and was on his way at last. When things like this happen, you just have to think that God is protecting you from being hit by a bus! After a couple of hours, I went out to find him and get some more shots of him. Shot the first one and took off and turned around to get another one. I'd set up the shot, set the camera on burst and have an assortment to choose from. Then turn around again, pass Bill and find another good background. Did this quite a few times until the battery died in the camera. Here's a good one of him in front of one of our local shops.
I pulled over and climbed up a hill to get this pretty flowering tree in the arrangement.
I liked the flag and the church in this one.
And I thought a shot of him in the rear view mirror would be fun.
Bill still had a few miles to go and he was getting tired, so I made sure he made it back to his truck. After a hot shower and some food, he took a short nap. We relaxed a bit in the evening and went to bed after our busy day.
