Creek’s rising

I’m parked again at the overlook on pavement as the rain has saturated the side roads: can’t get into what I can’t get out of. I picked a different spot in the cul de sac to closest to the hard road but I can level the van w/ blocks. Several days ago I smeared sealant on the underside of the roof fan which has now stopped big drips. I will replace the fan as the flanges are cracked which is where the water drips from. I’ll seal to the faying surface first. Furnace performs as expected. I want a thermostat that I can set at a selected temperature.

Forecasted rain fell a day late today. Heavy rain, not previous showers. Washes are running and the creek is rising. So much rock for surface area running onto dirt that has no organic to hold water change dry washes into trickles that grow to deluge. It is chocolate malt milkshake thick. Lesser amounts of rain are forecasted till Thurs. The Sedona Mountain Bike festival is this weekend for sunshine and receding water. Trails could be too wet to ride. Shits.

I thank the comment rider about too wide bars causing stress on shoulders. I asked my PT today about that and she concurred. I will shorten mine to a be decided width. Ideally they should be shoulder width.

Today during PT I impressed Linda w/ my range of motion after she said I had a tear. Plan is still to strengthen surrounding muscles. Back in Hurricane I fell also on my left hand. The inside of my elbow started hurting. I ignored it as I didn’t need another injury. Last week the cause of pain was tendon irritation. I am to ice it 3X day. Today I was told to buy a wrist guard to quiet the tendon activity. So far pain is diminished.

I sought a chiro treatment this afternoon. I told him about my shoulder issue. He returned the collar bone to its home which frees up muscles to work correctly. Amazing. I can move fully and freely.

I made an acupuncture appointment for tomorrow. My lower legs are tingly all the time. Checking w/ MD on this also.

Sat I watched the Zags game @ PJs. They got beat. Their ranking went from 3 to 7 this week.

Late Sun afternoon clouds quit dripping removing a reason not to hike. I hiked around made in the Shade again. I saw 1 biker. The trails were wet but firm. Sandstone can be slippery when wet. Would have been a good ride.
