When Mary and I stopped to gas up, the station attendant pointed out that the gas cap was missing. I knew we could easily go get one at Captain Sharks but I decided to pass by the Tropic Air Hanger first to see if Dick could help me find a spare one. As we pulled up to the window, he happened to be standing right there with a few of the mechanics. While I was asking him about a getting a cap from Glen, Lindsberg overheard our conversation and offered that he had a spare cap and he would bring it the next day.
Sure enough not long after Dick got to work, I got a text that said: Cap here, some Guinness for Lindsbrg would be nice. I was glad he gave me drink preference as I was just going to do regular Belikin or Rum. I picked up 6 beers in Boca Del Rio, headed to the hanger to trade them for the gas cap. After that I delivered it to Felipe at Pedro’s Hotel so it could get on the cart that needed it.
How will did I far in my gas cap barter? 6 Beers cost me $24 BZD and a new gas cap at Captain Sharks would have cost $32 BZD. Hearing how happy Lindsberg was with his Guinness beers priceless. He took them home on his break to make them nice and cold for a Friday night treat after work.
Here are a few pictures I took over the last couple days as I joyrode around with with Mary and Dick.

Tisk Tisk, I would have only charged you 2 Belikins and a rum punch for a gas cap.
I would have accepted your trade Carbunkle 🙂
Guiness beer must be served at precisely 9 degrees Celsius (48F ). This is the ideal temperature. Anything else is considered gauche. Just sayin’
It was quite a Friday we went a lot of places.
Is the Mayan Treasure coffee new, Laurie? Never saw it on the island when we were there, and boy would I have loved a change from Gallon Jug. It was okay, but I was so tired of it. That cobb salad looks delish!
It is new to me Emily, that sign is the first I have seen of it. I will go in the store and check it out next time.
you don’t drink Guinness cold
I just figured it was a matter of taste people drink it both ways Wagner. Similar to me not really liking coffee after trying it hot, then when I had my first Vietnamese iced coffee I was hooked on cold coffee for life 🙂
