The engine that couldn’t

Or wouldn’t. After reviewing the HR data I understood why: My HR was higher than usual. I rode a past route from the Recycling Center out Carroll canyon to Bike Path climbing up to Radar then dropping down Under the radar, Under, under, the radar, Under, under, under, the radar to exit from a wash. I rode Chavez ranch road a short distance to pick up Ramshead up to Ridge, then jogged over onto Sketch back to Ridge onto Carroll Canyon back to van. 75 degrees, not overly hot. Had no attack attitude. Shortened the ride eliminating the climb up Hurkenham and descent on Special Ed.Discovered that I left the driver’s window down. Nothing disturbed.

Still have, to me, a slight fever.

Several branches cut my skin drawing blood which ran for a short time then clotted. Tonight I checked my INR which was 3.3 that is above my prescribed 2.X range. Pleased that the blood clotted as quickly w/ this high value.

A shower @ Snap. A visit w/ Jason @ the water store, groceries then out to Deer Pass b4 dinner.

Yesterday I visited Dave’s shop. I asked about the remains of the buildings out on Western Civ. He didn’t know and suggested the Historical Society that turned out to be just up Jordan rd. My visit revealed that the Rupe / Rogers homestead history will be presented @ an upcoming meeting. Seems that someone wants to build a development on the private land. Interesting: it is an in holding w/ no private access.

Drove down to BnB. traffic coming up canyon was jammed packed, Morning visiting traffic. As long as I stay out of Uptown I stay out of heavy traffic.

I made a Thai dinner using the remaining 1/2 can of coconut milk.

Last night I finally slept my usual dead out. I fell asleep w/ XM on. I awoke @ 2:20 not knowing what time it was. I had no center to work from. The alarm woke me. Great sleep.

Tomorrow is another DR visit to treat the cyst removal hole. Perhaps it will be healed enough now to just bandage it closed. Fri BnB shop ride.

Last night I researched Garmin for mtn bike gps data for kentucky camp. I found a guy’s route that might be what I need. I can load the route to my Edge 305 and follow that to keep me on track. I read that there is a mish mash of trails and old jeep roads for the route. GPS  will keep me found. I plan on driving way south for the ride should the temps be tolerable.

Wash today. Clean sheets and clean body.
