Never Stop Learning

Two things I learned today
1- Use engine brake when descending a steep decline, particularly when you were on a 3600m high pass, or the breaks might fail. I knew it , right? But did not translate it to my automatic transmission. The brakes thankfully gave in just when I wanted to leave from a little fill-up-my-water-supply-stop.
2 - remove your mobile phone from your back jeans pocket before going to the toilet or it may fall out. It previously had happened and it precariously dangled on the edge of a long drop toilet, Plumpsclo. Today I realised some time and distance after nature called that my phone was missing. Luckily I remembered the exact bush I had visited and there my phone was waiting for me.
Some days you could really do without. Or lessons learned with little or no loss are the lessons you wish for.Les mer
