No BEER or gluten. SIBO and leaky gut. Chiro adjustment eliminated most of intense headache. It just took $ for info. Have a bucket of herbs to straighten out the gut malfunction. Naturapath no insurance coverage. Quite expensive to fix health issues, I now have a recovery protocol designed to restore my gut to happy times. Learned I am gluten and rice intolerant. Will follow a FOD diet. But no beer and a whole lot more of my standards. Chocolate? No.
The crash on Mon gave me a nasty headache. I scored an afternoon chiro adjustment today, his first go made an improvement, followup tomorrow morning.
I have been staying down in Bend out at Phils as temps are just in 80s and smokey skies starting today. Deschutes is general shut down for all operations. Will learn if it applies to dispersed camping. Conditions are scary. 2 nights ago there was a wind event that would have spread a fire wild. No ignition. Big fires burning in OR and WA, of course CA. 2 big fires on the Umpqua, Thielson at Diamond Lake and another down lower on the river closing the highway. 50 years ago this summer I was on a 12 man intra region fire suppression crew based out of Diamond Lake district at Toketee RS. At that time the story line was the Umpqua never burns. Since that time there have been several big fires. I dug fire line with one leg in the fire, my pants continually shortened as the ragged cut off bottoms caught on fire. Today only Willamette Pass was open, maybe the Gorge, fires have closed the other passes. Skies here are just smokey, lacking the red color from nearby intense fires.
Tues eve I attended a COTA ZOOM meeting discussing Swampy trails efforts. Signed up for work party this Sunday up there.
Wed AM at 7 temp was 29 degrees. Tonight at 8 PM comfortable enough for door and window to be open. High desert temp fluctuations and low humidity like 6%.
I kept my nose buried in The Vanishing Half book finishing it last night. I gave it back to the bookstore, Dudley’s for in store credit applied to another book.
Yesterday I rode from here repeating a same loop. Amazing that pedal times were just 3 mins diff on a 19.3 mile ride. Descended Pine Drops. Almost no sharing.
Yesterday was my 71st birthday. And this restricted diet precluded even a piece of cake with ice cream.
