Early AM activity of black powder hunters driving in quest of elusive deer.
Another task that is not automated: temperature adjustment. My heater has settings for lo, med, & hi. My van has windows and a fan. The outside temp changes during the night. Your house has a thermostat that compensates for variables and your temp is almost homothermic. My temp adjustment occurs by pulling on a blanket or hat, or turning on the heat, or getting up to turn the heater on or off. Last night on lo it was summer sweating time. I turned it off. Then the temp dropped and the van cooled; I doubled the blanket and hunkered down. The alarm went off and I made the dash to the heater, fired it up, & crawled back under the covers to await warmth from fossil fuel vs thermal rays.
Overcast and yesterday’s forecast called for rain so I bagged the epic ride because of exposure. I bagged the shorter ride also. So I chose to putz around. I drove into Bridgewater for internet connection.
2 days ago I started feeling pain in my lower left leg near the ankle. I could not recount an injury cause. Fear was structural. On my drive into Harrisonburg I saw an emergency clinic and without hesitation I pulled into the parking lot. A short wait later a DR confirmed it as an overuse injury to a tendon. Prescription for steroids and rest to allow irritation to subside. Perhaps caused by tweaking my knee and then making saddle adjustment. What’s done is did and now I need to rest. The forecast for the next 2 days is for rain. Now I need to find activities to occupy myself from the time I get up in the AM till I go to bed. Oh, neat on XM channel 58 is 7 x 24 Bruce Springsteen. Swell.
Back in town behind the big city / police building doing internet work then going to the Blue Nile for good beer per Tim @ Shenandoah bikes.
Skyline drive in the rain after the leaves are all down? Shopping?
I joined the forum at Dirt Rag magazine announcing my ride request. I also joined the fitsingle something meeting site. A listing of the 10 best women popped up. A few shots of bodacious tatas as a way of introduction. Strap them babies down; full suspension or hard tail?
