****** computer ate my work.
Yesterday the heater was fixed, took all morning, found clogged regulator, blew out fuel jet and valve, found nothing Heater cycled correctly. Drove away. Picked up coffee @ local small batch roaster. Hung in Fruita for a beer & slice of pizza @ Hot Tomato then dinner @ Mexican place across the interstate. Drove short distance to camp spot on end of road. Ran furnace. Failed to start during the night, temp dropped to 31, double blanket and I was wondering why I was cold. Restarted the furnace which caught and enjoyed the warmth.
Last night I thought about where to go next. Today the PO called telling me I had mail which changed my route.
Today was laundry day and visiting the PO for my license temp plate. Not in. Drove to Lunch Loop trails outside GJ. I pedaled out of the parking lot and checked my brakes on a downhill. I could have been more effective dragging just one foot over what the rear brake gave me. WTF? I needed the ability to lock up the rear wheel on brake lever pull notice and I wasn’t getting it. I was toast. Trails have many tech features. Rocky and rugged. I rode only 4.76 miles.
I watched this rider overcome 2 step ups as if he was pedaling like me on the flats.
Drove back to Fruita after a short ride bound to figure out how to make the rear brake work. OTE bled it and noticed air. Next ride will learn of its efficacy.
Shower @ Community center. Back to using body lotion to make the dry flaky skin settle down.
Picked up the second mailing from the licensing dept @ the PO. I established communication w/ Spokane auto licensing involving me in receiving legal license plates. This year I am required to buy new plates. I renewed on line. Spokane sent me a paper tag 60 day license and tabs for the new plate to be delivered 45 to 60 days hence. The paper tag never arrived. I called and was given a 15 day extension tag sent to Fruita, same as the temp tag which hasn’t arrived. Replacement temp tag will be sent to Moab. The new plates are to be sent to Hurricane. No harm no foul agreements. Living full time on the road presents situations that might become problems. In my experience all has been worked out OK.
One last salad @ Hot Tomato then off to Rabbit Valley tonight then Moab tomorrow.
