Quiet drying out day in Huntsville

Monday morning and work week picks up. Ah, to sleep in.

Searched for foam to put under bed w/ no luck. Bought book, That Distant Land by Wendell Berry on a recommendation from I don’t remember her name from Snake Gap. Historical fiction of Kentucky.

Put effort into getting road bike back working. The chain was so rusted it would not roll over the jockey pulleys. W/ exceptional due diligence and penetrating oil the links freed up. I installed a new tube & tire on new wheel. All came from swapping: the tire from N Division in Spokane for a rockshox, the wheel from The Hub in Brevard for my rear wheel, and the tube from The Trailhead here in Huntsville for my front wheel. The air was free.

Did laundry @ 5 points. Talked w/ a guy who remembered Ritzville on his drive west. He grew up in NY and said not to believe the horror stories of high temps & humidity. He still does not have AC in his house. But then he was using a laundromat. I know I will not be here to experience first sweat drop.

Talked w/ Zysk for home cooking.

Gracie made the arrangements for our ride up @ Sewamee which per my dad, Jack Daniels is nearby. After ride libations?

Low effort day here in Alabama. You’d think it was hot & humid.
