Sooo, my right hip is keeping me off my bikes. Strain Counter strain is easing the original pain and creating some new ones. Arch says it is because releasing previously tightened muscles shifts body to working more correctly on unused muscles. He says all is good. He made the ” tendinitis” in my left arm disappear in 1 release point. Amazing.
PUSH shipped my fork to my earthclass mail address in Seattle instead of Spokane. PUSH paid for the additional shipping charge to ship it to Spokane. Fed Ex shipped it to0 Oakland distribution and have scheduled it for delivery tomorrow. Arch has allowed me a not hard ride tomorrow. Great! Fixed fork and Riverside are a good match.
Enjoyed Loppers’ ball @ Mel’s in laws cabin out in hinterland of Springdale / TumTum. The Boeing crew of Tom, Mel, Dave, Cal, me, and a kindred but non lopping guy, Guy. 4X pickup ride to distant cabin. Each of us brought food items to share and our beverage of choice. Somehow a bottle of tequilla was interjected years ago and a misunderstand concept of penalty shots required when some instantaneously made up foul was committed the offender was required to take a sip. And then the bottle was passed around for all to have a sip. Among 6 guys the bottle went dry before sundown which was a spectacular sight as we looked right @ the western horizon. I chose to sleep on the narrow front porch to be cooler and avoid the snoring of others. I woke w/ a mild hangover as I sipped quite a bit of Scotch.
Boys:
I spent every night previously in my van for 14 months. Loppers ball gets me out and into a sleeping bag on a floor. I turned down how many offers of more palatial digs to stay in my van. Band of brothers nets a hard floor.
Beautiful fall happening. Not the reds of NE, so far the leaves have not turned. What is blond dead are the grasses. A killing frost has fallen.
Was great time with all Craig. Wish you could have gone on a ride with us to teach us young bucks a thing or two. Maybe at next year ball??
Crag, Glad you could join us for a Lopper’s Ball spin-off. Good times and morning headaches were had by all!
