My chat with AJ and Karin

I just had a glorious chat with AJ and Karin. They are on a lovely farm about 7km's outside of Vryburg. They needed new tyres so they had to ride into town and back the 7km's to the farm. They are so high on adrenaline - they sound excited and happy.
They are sending humming balls to a higher order for MEAT for supper. They are desperate. Karin says that everyone who has hosted them has kindly served lasagne and noodles which probably helped them carboload but now they are ready for meat! Let's hope they get some.
Aj says the last day or so was really tough. it took them 8 hours to do 70 km's yesterday. In order to avoid wind and too many vehicles (the roads have no shoulders) they left Warrenton at 4.30 this morning. I was just thinking how beautiful that must be.
They met with a broken down Venture outside Taung filled with afrikaans speaking "dominees" and they stopped and chatted in typical AJ style. They were on their way to a meeting in Vryburg with 50 others from the surrounding areas. They were amazed at the tools AJ and Karin could unpack from their saddle bags and then proceeded to do a quick McGyver and got them back on the road.
AJ says he loves Vryburg. It looks like Namibia except that the Kameeldoring bome are 15 meters tall. Describes it as the Texas of SA. "Tannie hier verkoop hulle 5000 bees a dag op a veiling".
I asked him what Vryburg felt like so he said "Tannie dis 'n service centre, jy ry in dorp toe met jou land cruiser, deur moerse potholes, gooi jou diesel in, doen paar dinge, dan ry jy".
He also told me some interesting snippets about people in dogdom who breed Irish wolfhounds or as he says " wind hond op steroids met Lang hare". I have close association with Irish wolfhound breeders so before I tell you more I am going to find out more!
Oh yes and the dominee wanted to know whether they have accepted the Lord into their lives which he found interesting and was probably related to them being such good samaritans.
Karin also says AJ's legs are looking really hot with the V's so she does not mind him leading the way at times. He promised to send us a pic of the V's in 4 days time! Such vanity!
