giving motorcycle man his due
oh he did appreciate the moving of the dirt pile
he expected people to do what they said they wd do
he learned that Skaterina was one of those people
when he told her he was selling his house to move to the mountains
she said
i'm coming along
oh yeah ?
she didnt sell her house
after all her daughter lived there and all the dogs
she closed the restaurant and was set to go
he said she cd bring One Dog and One Piece of Luggage
she chose Annabelle, the youngest dog, and a steamer trunk
given her by the plumber who did all the plumbing work for the
restaurant free of charge, expecting to be paid by getting laid
he wasnt
it was a nifty trunk
all she brought was clothes. shoes, a bag of crochet thread
crochet hooks and a book on how to make those doily things
moreover the Motorcycle Man knew how to do lots of things
he rebuilt car and motorcycle engines, he knew how to build
with wood, do plumbing, electricity, tiling, and so on
one cozy night on the Mesa he gave a lecture on how the
internal combustion engine works
thanks to him she learned how to change Dreamboat's oil,
set the gap in her spark plugs, how it all worked, and with
his encouragement she rebuilt the carburetor
later after helping him do carpentry things on the Mesa
without power tools she and her daughter redid the Happy Trail
kitchen in prep for the new baby (daughters, not hers)
Skaterina designed and build pull out bins, one for kibble, and one for
trash and many other items
some are still in use
oh she learned a lot with that man
he learned how to drink and make espresso and spaghetti carbonara,
which he then made with sausage instead of bacon
he also knew how to fish and catch many many trouts
she learned how to loll in the sun by an icy trout stream
and how to eat as many as 9 in one sitting
she learned how to cook on a wood burning stove
she baked bread, cookies, Navaho fry bread, well
anything you cd bake or cook
she knew how to use that little stove, misses it even now
when MM was there he cut wood for the stove with a giant
chain saw
when he was away she found a basket the size of the wood
needed that wd fit the stove
strolled around the vast mesa and its unlimited surroundings
picking up chunks of wood
she hadnt much money / when he went away the first time
she had ten dollars / she lived for three weeks on that
shopping wisely
like four artichokes for a dollar and a Vogue Magazine
that girl !!
