Wednesday AM the temp inside was 44 degrees, outside I learned it was 9 degrees. There was just a few inches of ice free windshield. PT appointment @ 12:00 and no riding after sesion. Too cold to ride. Fun stuff @ Dupont would have been frozen water ice. Visitor Center was closed but restrooms were unlocked. Hung out @ The Hub before PT appointment. Sam said i could service my rear wheel in his warm shop.
Kim worked on my knee @ PT. She said that the condition of my body indicates that the injury issues are old and will take time to restore. Perhaps. I left my pen in her office. Called her and she had discovered that she gained an extra pen and will put it out for me on Friday. I have another appointment on Monday.
Back @ Hub. Regreased rear hub and readjusted rear brake caliper. Made offer to Sam, owner of The Hub, of a picture show for their store & clients should they want to pull something together. Sam told me on Thurs AM he was meeting w/ Ed Sutton from Trail Dynamics to appraise a, in construction trail from Club Gap. I asked to go along.
Scott from Indianpolis saw me in Pisgah Sunday and is in contact w/ me for a weekend ride. Bruce from Asheville is going to Ellijay, GA this weekend before my trip plan.
Wed eve I decided to head to camp spot to fix dinner and work on some offline stuff instead of hanging @ Dolly’s which is why there was no post Wed.
Another cold night and I did not sleep warm even w/ doubled down blanket & heat on high. Again the temp was single digit. Put on wool long underwear for 9:00AM woods hike looking @ trail work. Bright sunny skies but still just cold.
Falls along road:
Ed knows Bill. Bill, I set Ed up with the California rider for you to finish.
On a previous trip in my van a young man struck up a conversation about my van. I learned that he had spent 5 winters @ Alpental @ Snoqualmie living in his trade van. He said an issue for him was moisture. I said I had the problem in hand w/ a roof vent fan. Today I reached into my “clothes closet” which is a bracket to hang clothes hangers on that is aft of my frige & forward of the rear door. I noticed that shirt sleeves are damp because moisture is condensing there. I need several days of hot temps to dry things out.
Fred is back @ Visitor Center which is opened. Going back to visit after shower.
Still having problems w PICASA for pictures.
Knee pain today is about the same.
