Cuff search

It's evening, we saddle up again, enter the pipes, select 'cold' and pedal away...

...encounter a strong thunderstorm, but spare neither effort nor expense, expand the seals...

...dive deeper and deeper through the siphon, a last beam of light falls from the culvert...

...amphibious-like, unnoticed by pedestrians, we are in the deep underground, peering feverishly for the coveted cuff...

...we feel like tadpoles, bump our heads on the unyielding hydrants.

An immense suction, a whirlpool of horror sucks us through the vast sewage plant to the...

...point of no return, where we resurface tired but happy in the middle of a meadow, take a breath and burp with a foul taste in our mouths - in the middle of a meadow. The rain is pouring!

For better orientation, we put on our leather vests, take a pinch of snuff, and with wide-open bronchi, we catch sight of a helpful signpost...

The needle of the portable water meter hits the watercolor value with a trembling hand, and we can quickly determine the water quality. We pass by a dwelling and ask...

for a car. The nice, kind-hearted, uncomplicated caretaker hands us the key to the vehicle without hesitation or fuss...

...we start, speed off with greatly excessive speed, overtake seven wrong-way drivers, make the tires screech, drift. But we come to a stop using the braking power and quickly park the borrowed car.

Now the journey is non-motorized, still on the search for the cuff, it becomes really rocky and...

arduous. At some places, it becomes almost impassable. We pause once again...

But we manage to reach the beach more or less successfully, a stiff breeze blows against our noses...

...we consume some plankton that expands our consciousness, and the saving idea strikes us, yes indeed! We pick up the shopping cart washed ashore from the deep sea...

and sneak into a nearby well-stocked specialty store, where

we can purchase the coveted cuff over a hot cup of coffee, what a sensation. Tired but happy, we set off on foot to our new dwelling, to safely store the acquisition there...

Now, upon our return, we naturally adhere to the given rules, dutiful as always...

and let ourselves be gently rocked to sleep by the wind force - all in all, a fantastic great experience - the cuff acquired!
