Yesterday was 3rd chiro treatment and I am pleasantly aligned. My headache is an echo and maybe will always be. DR said I adjusted easily because of how I take care of myself, I don’t think he meant how I hurt myself.
My new Dell computer is ready for pick up. I combined a ride out @ Barrel Roll and stopped @ computer store and picked this more powerful and lighter whatever this laptop is named. Found out that I could turn off the touchpad which must have been the source of the cursor locating itself caused by my left thumb touching the pad. Past frustration could have been avoided if only I knew. Now I am configuring this machine from what I remember which is a good way to cull unused info. I bought MS Office 365 which gives me the MS office software. This might be backed up on the cloud. I plan on figuring out how to make the external hard drive work to back up locally. Keyboard has a number pad. The store told me my data on the old hard drive is still there and can be retrieved. They have been working thru their tool box of tricks to no success so far. there is a company they work with than can extract the data if they can’t. It’s only money.
OTE replaced the wobbly 2.2 Conti w/ a 2.4 to my surprise when I unloaded my bike. I noticed the rear tire just grew. The I9 rims are wide no doubt which made the tire contact patch even wider. Very little tire clearance, just a little mud will stop the wheel. Idea w/ narrower rear tire was it would be faster, let the 2.4 on the front lead the way and the 2.2 slip in behind and require just a little less energy to drive it. I rode the uphill w/ the rock shelf lifting both front and rear tire over the sharp lip. I looked at it to learn what it was that punctured the tire and I only found like a point the diameter of a pencil. I did hit it pretty hard. Short ride of 8.15 miles climbing 1132′ Nice purpose built trail system. Rocky.
Back in Hurricane after a shower I parked in a dirt lot and started making this computer work. Had a tough go w/ MS as the validation process sent an email to my email which is hosted thru start logic which required me to connect to them to read my mail. Duh. Computers for senior citizens. Success.
So, what age identifies a person as Senior?
Last night I visited w/ Big Al @ his wood shop. Very artistic work and what a shop loaded w/ tools and machines. He could have built the cabinets for me that would have had soul. He smoked a good cigar leaving essences still in my clothes today.
I stayed in town last night as the forecast called for rain which makes the desert dirt globby and imprisons a rig until it dries out. Staying sort of kitty corner to OTE 1/2 of block off highway and bottom of hill. Can be vehicle noisy. Sometimes the furnace works, mostly all the time now. Thermostat is a rheostat knob w/ just markings on the face, no ability to set @ a temp as a result I sleep too hot or cold sometimes. Accepting the whir of the blower. Batteries are strong enough to run all night, lowest voltage was 11.56.
Rain has abated per forecast.
Bought a sixer of Moose Drool @ liquor store @ $1.89 a bottle. High beer.
Next is to figure out pictures.
Zags play UCLA tonight.
There is moisture in a Barrel Cactus and yes it can save your life but it’s also very good at absorbing moisture. The 1 time I tried it, it only made me more thirsty. It’s definitely a last resort.
