Tonight sitting in the same gin joint under the influence of home consumped hawaiin moonshine and typing this on my smart phone.
Yesterday was an out of the comfort zone day. My goal for the day was to ride a mountain bike and get there and back using public transportation. I found a bike shop that rented full suspension mtn bikes. There was also an on line ride description. It took 3 buses each way costing $2.50 and about 2 hours. I rented a lighter stress specicialized bike. I used my shoes and petals. I rode 8 pavement miles to ride a packed clay resource extraction road. Climb up to a clearing where I convinced a couple from Denmark to take pics of me. The downhill was more of the same; I did walk a few places of deeply eroded ruts. The packed clay was slippery. I added a another piece as described @,the bike shop. I encountered the worst roots in my adult life. Flat out treacherous, scary. Finished the dirt then the ride back on pavement. I rode a mountain bike on dirt on my 49th state.
I bought a fifth of Hawaiian moonshine yesterday on the way home. Island treat.
Today I navigated for George out haunilie. I spoke w/ a practicing painter out on the pier who showed me Puff the magic dragon. I goggled the song lyrics which caused my hair to stand up.
Last night here.
Good night.
