I am following care giver instructions taking the antibiotic and staying off my feet. An Unna boot has been applied the last 2 days and the DR gives eval later this PM. Swelling is down and the wound is projected to be healed early next week. Arranged to have the bandage removed today for a shower. Parked in the hospital parking lot.
Friend Steve and I have been camping together, he goes for a ride. He is complete vegan giving up cheese that he craves, he said eating it goes straight to a heroin reward center. My wanting to ride with him doesn’t hit that kind of reward center. He rides in front of me and I eat cheese in front of him. Life is fair.
Been staying out past Wildhorse XG that has a 360 view including oil extraction locations.
I have been making my rounds of places I have established contacts with. Today at Love Muffin I ran into Scott who makes these mountain bike trails appear. Visited with coffee roaster whose cowboy style I borrow from. Lady at feed store for propane. Sense of community connection. Still asking about Thanksgiving feed to supply my labor.
Jeff and Glen from Fruita are here, look forward to riding with them soon.
This weekend is Hoedown for mountain bike enduro race and all around tomfoolery.
Weather is still is still so great visitors continue to populate dispersed camp spots. Steve and I both drove away from our spot today. I set up my table, chair, and traffic cones including a note stating that I will return. May this marking save our spot.
Still sunny and warm during mid day to don shorts and doff the shirt. Night does get just above freezing. Cottonwoods in the water wetted areas still hold the golden leaves. Otherwise it is red with greens of junipers and pinon pine.
I am wearing my new variable focus new glasses that require adjustment tom my head and my looking thru them. Clearer vision.
Off to DR.
