http://www.chiriquichatter.net/blog/2013/06/03/getting-ready-to-roll/ There is a jet car at the new service station in the neighborhood. Don Ray wrote a post in his blog (Chiriqui Chatter – click on the link above) if you want to check it out.
Me? I’m still getting settled back in. We came home to a closed, musty, moldy house because of the rains and high humidity, so there has been a lot of cleaning and airing out going on. We also had to restock the kitchen, unpack and do laundry, and I borrowed a weed whacker from my neighbor to clean up the overgrown yard.
I’ll be back soon. I have more baby pictures, the trip home to talk about, and what’s going on in the neighborhood now. But, at the moment, it’s time to go to Canasta Basica to see if they have chicken in stock.
The Panama Adventure 
“Chicken in stock” Isn’t that also known as soup?
A couple of years ago I met Jim Jett at the Chiriqui Mall when he was planning his run for the first time. He was good friends with a friend of mine, the late Frank Hilson. Frank told me how to get in touch with Jim. Frank was a complete motor head and in his youth he was an up and coming professional race car driver. Ran at Daytona and other tracks until he hit a wall and his car caught fire burning him over much of his body. Fortunately he survived and later competed in the Mila Miglia races in Italy. Frank was instrumental in my making the move to Panama.

LOL Yes, but in this case we’re looking for chicken for sale, which they didn’t have again today. I bought some at Baru which had a diminished selection. Is there a chicken shortage going on?
Very cool about Jim Jett and your friend Frank Hilson. I’ll be interested to hear if Mr Jett decides to take a run in that car. That would be something to see.
