Mission: Carry 1 bucket of water from CH to house with most of the water remaining, before dinner burns.
Mode: Bicycle
Obstacles: Pant-snatching chain
Gear-bag maneuvers
Low-flying bats
Low-hanging branches
Bicycle traffic
Skills tested: Balancing
Breaking with no breaks
Trivia on Guyanese traffic rules and regs.
Operation summary:
Water was filled at CH bathroom’s shower, bucket placed alongside bicycle for easy pick up once mounted. Right pant leg folded to avoid catching in the chain. (Previous incident). Bucket acquired, resting on handlebar with ribbed grip. Pant leg fell; readjusted. Gear-bag prevented mounting of bicycle, relocated to the rear of the bike. Mount successful, bucket is moved to the ready position (rt. hand hanging on the side) and initial take-off is met with balance resistance. Slight water spilled. Attempt two is successful, and transportation is in motion. En route, encountered low-flying bats; balance maintained. Crossed paths with two bicycles coming from the opposite direction; recalled the left-hand side as the regulatory position for vehicular transportation and maintained position on said corner, passing without incident. Immediately ducked to avoid a string of low-hanging branches; balance maintained. Momentum is slowed as house is fast approaching, a slightly halted leap from bicycle; some water spilled out. Directly carried inside, dinner checked, all accounted for.
Mission: Accomplished.
