I’m here you are someplace else

Last night @ PJs I scored a table right in front of big screen TV to watch the Zags play Butler @ home. ESPN prime time. What a battle, ties and lead changes. Zags behind most of second half. Pulled up by 1 w/ 3.5 seconds left and in bound possession. A Butler player stole the pass and scored on a floater as time expired. Very good game.

I drove back to BnB parking lot for the night.

Last night I applied a castor oiled cloth on my right shoulder then applied a hot water bottle. Pretty oily process. Supposed to help heal my soreness.

I slept in this AM sleeping in a parking lot. Another spectacular Sedona day. After a short shop visit I drove abck up to west Sedona for a ride. I started and ended @ the library.

A shower @ Snap, pick up a burrito, and 2 beers @ brewery watching the Ravens pummel the Pats. Superbowl in 2 weeks. Out to Deer Pass for the night. Tomorrow is drive back to Village for PT treatment.

Changing bike tires. Scott is giving me a Minion for the front wheel. i will move the front Conti trail king to the rear. The Minion is known for traction. Still tubeless. I installed a Conti mtn king w/ black chili compound. So far I have torn off 1 lug and severely scuffed the sidewalls.

5 straight days of riding. Monday is a rest day.
