This AM I received word from the heart DR nurse that 24 hrs of heart function data gathering revealed only a lower than expected heart rate that has to be caused by my strenuous mtn biking and not a health issue. Great news. However, sometimes something else is going on that has not been identified. Cross off the heart as its source, maybe flat feet?
I made Mon a rest day. Jeff, my former PT treated me to lunch.
I slept @ Liberty Lake horse TH and shared it w/ stink bugs like I used to get at my old house. The insect, hence its name, squirts a noxious stream when threatened and the odor lingers long after the threat. Several flew inside my van. Don’t squish them inside. At my house I had a dust buster like vacuum that I sucked them into. I stepped on several outside the van to no harm. I am still removing them parked here on South Hill as they itched a ride from this morning.
This evening friend Tom will lead me on a High Drive ride then fix dinner. Tom is storing my mementos in his basement. Tonight I search for a book that has a house design I am intrigued by as a possible house to build. Search of my stuff did not turn up my book. However our dinner and evening was great connecting.
High Drive is a steep hillside on the west end of Spokane created by the flood waters of the Missoula ice dam. Slope angle has to be in excess of 40 degrees. There is a myriad of trails crossing the side slope. Keep your eyes on where you are going to avoid a tumble down slope.
I plan on leaving Spokane on Monday for Echo, OR. However, smoke is a very real concern. No rain is forecast this week for anywhere West. Even the coast is dry. My skin needs moisturizing.
