Another day in the rain.

Last night I slept under several bare trees, the branches of which accumulated h2o & then dropped onto the roof w/ more force and irregularity than the gentle rain drops. Just accepted the odd beating on the roof. Also, it was the first time in a long time that I did not use the heater during the night.

Today plan was to drive to Hendersonville Sprinter dealer to have the oil changed. The maintenance option I bought analyzes the oil condition and when the oil hits the wall the instrument panel receives count down mileage to burn up. Drove almost 14,000 miles on oil. At $200 for service this option allows changing the oil when the sensors say it is time.

Rained hard all morn till lunch. Could have ridden Dupont as soil drains well but decided to continue resting the ankle. 800 mg 3x day of vitamin I is reducing the pain.

Scott from Indianapolis will be here Friday for rides. I will meet up w/ him. Forecast is for sunny skies, temp of 32 on Fri & below freezing during the night.

The Zags are on XM @ 10:00PM tonight. I need to find things to keep me busy & awake till game time. Clean sheets & body send warm signals for the rack. Which will win? May it be GU against WSU.

Brevard has white squirrels. Really.

Article in today’s paper about a guy who was hiding out from the law in a hidden camp right off one of the popular mtn bike trails nearby. When Johny law busted him they found evidence of booby traps which caused the area to be closed. The USFS plans on a controlled burn to destroy any possible suspected traps. Guy was busted for growing pot.

Fixed dinner in a gravel parking lot X the street from The Hub bike shop. Fixed dinner and surfed internet. I receive XM where I camp. Hendersonville has a Mennonite enclave.
