Monday I tore the water system apart and removed the water tank. I filled it with water then checked for leaks: none were found. I was able to reinstall the parts then filled the tank. No leaks, still the odor. Next step will be to plug the drain hose then fill the hose with bleach water. Did that this morning. Warm enough outside to leave the door opened. Sometime later today my nose will tell me if I eliminated the odor.
Last night I attended the first night of the Banff film festival movies. Ran into several people from the community I have met. Great documentation of human exploits, courage, and dedication.
Logan and Virginia from Brevard are here. We rode together on Monday, the SSS loop. Logan rides a hard tail and is faster than me. At times I was close enough to his wheel to subconsciously follow his hard tail line. Not overly good as he rode less chunky lines. Nice day. Virginia crashed towards the end of the ride, she doesn’t know what caused it but it smacked her down good leaving her with openings in her skin and a headache.
Yesterday she did not join Logan and me as we rode what I name the Hog loop. It was the first ride on Llama after the snow melt and festival. There definitely cast in wheel ruts… and more foot prints. I know what I am able to ride and what I choose to walk which for Logan riding some of it first time, he made 2 bad choices which dumped him on the ground. Bruises, no structural damage. He was riding the new Revel bike which is quite the hoot in suspension solutions. I pedaled it a bit on pavement, it seemed to take more effort to turn the pedals than my Turner RFX. Did not experience the suspension. Bike is a 29er and frame size large. Still content with my almost 3 year old bike. March 19 is its first ride date.
Weather here is frequent showers between a few days of sunshine, don’t diss rain in the desert. Still no regrowth on prickly pear. Monday at Sunset park I saw manzanita blossoms but only at the park.
Last night was warm enough to not burn the furnace all night. I lowered the setting and it cycled as it should. Still faced with cleaning the tank.
Tomorrow is a day trip up to Flag to be evaluated for breathing problems. I want to know if I am a healthy 69 yo who pushes too hard or if something is not right in my body.
Outer Limits is new trail that I have been helping build is named as such as it is the outermost trail in this western gateway system. The final part completed goes over the western side of Cockscomb which eliminates being on private property.
