Vacation

Umpteenth day of rest for recovery of “pulled” back. Every day i have less pain and increased pain free range of motion. I take the muscle relaxer pills but abstain from the pain pills. It is important to let muscles heal b4 beating on them again.

So, I am on an injury induced vaca hanging around Brevard and Asheville, between 2 groups of friends: Todd and heather in Brevard and Bruce and Pisgah Works in Asheville. I spent the last 2 days in Asheville w/ Bruce goofing around drinking lots of beers and socializing. We have toured downtown Asheville hitting several of Bruce’s haunts. Lots of craft beers to taste. Staying up late and sleeping in while parked on the residential street he lives on.

Today i am at the Sprinter dealer in Hendersonville to have the parking brake adapter installed so that the driver seat can swivel over the engaged parking brake which will take the load off the transmission.

I have another PT appointment next Thurs that I will stay in Brevard area to be treated. My hope is my back will be healed so i can ride some Pisgah b4 I move on, although my dad’s place is about 11 hour drive. I could stay here right up to day b4 class reunion and then sprint to the door. I would miss other places along the way but if my back is not good to go it makes little sense to visit and have to turn down rides.

Wed Youngblood took me to the cleaners to install the new bushings on my 5 Spot. Turner did help me w/ the parts price.
