Winding down

My Sedona home is being put to rest allowing others to enjoy my primitive camping spots. Tomorrow I leave for Black canyon trail for a ride and a night out. Sat i pick up Lynn then return to Sedona until Monday when we will both leave.

Today i squeezed in a ride b4 my 1:15 DR appointment. Winds kicked up but blew away haze. parked @ Cultural center. Rode Ledge N’ Airy to Last Frontier, back on Ledge to Girdner and back. Quick short ride manging my time. Mistake of making the appointment early afternoon. heart rate was high. My breathing is better in that I have less gasping shortness of breath, now I just have i got no breath from exertion. Great riding conditions.

Dry creek from Last frontier, cockscomb back

Saw a plant that looks so much like poison oak. Took pics, will stop @ FS and ask about.

DR appointment, CRP still elevated, same as last draw. I might have a chronic sinus infection that maybe explains high level. I asked to have her check my ears after I had used Debrox. NP said ears are plugged. She irrigated them flushing out chunks almost as big as the beans kids put in their ears. Hear better.

Hung @ BnB for awhile, groceries, propane, dinner @ PJs, then camp out @ Beaverhead ready for drive south.

Yesterday winds picked up loading the sky w/ particles. drove to dentist for crown. I was dreading the novocaine shot. Tamara did the work. She said that she was trained to inflict little pain to patients. she scored. I would have another novocaine shot from her. She used a computer to shape the crown, the data was sent to a milling machine that milled the crown from an uncured block of ceramic. After machining the crown was baked for 30 mins. Installation was a snap. Porcelain can break. $1200. Ate my monthly SS check.

Went to Johnny’s garage for Johnny to install the replacement nylon rollers for the swivel seat. We installed then successfully, the seat is w/o wiggles. Turning the seat takes more effort.

Drove out to Deer Pass rd camp, scored my favorite spot.
