Tuesday the tie rods were replaced in the van. Drove away noticing immediately the corrected steering, no longer did the van like flop into a carved steering change. Driving with the worn rods the van kinda scooted around in the lane needing constant minor correction. New the van is stable. Shop suggested to balance and rotate tires to allow slightly worn front tires to wear down on the back and the rear ones not affected by wear on front. I stopped at Discount Tire for that work, busy day. I left the shop after my dinner time, after dark arrival at Quail creek spot which was empty.
Forecast this week wants precip although little has fallen and not as long lasting as forecast. Trails still are tacky. Just been hanging inside comfort of van.
Repairing: results from the test for H. pylori came back: yes I have the bacteria. Health care person prescribed antibiotics for 14 days. May this be successful for eliminating my malady.
Forecast shows sunshine this weekend here and Sedona. Sunday appears to be date to head there. Look forward to state of Arizona that isn’t quite as controlling of my personal choices as Utah is. Box wine is sold in grocery stores everywhere instead of driving to hard to get to liquor stores in Utah. I will be able to watch Zags games at PJ’s.
Friend Steve’s and Mia’s gift was spent on upgrading my multi tool to a Lyzene model. Thank you two.
Making many miss keystrokes with this new computer, fault is between the keyboard and the chair.
Crazy: several years ago in Sedona I started a conversation with a woman at grocery store. I saw here later working at local coffee roaster in VOC. Maybe the next year I ran into her again at OTE in Fruita. Huh? I knew her at the Sedona location, took me out of location memory. She worked there for several visits. This year I walked into OTE here in Hurkin, this woman greeted me by name, it was the same woman. She is now in Hurkin. I get befuddled when I encounter a person who is not in the location where I met them. Chatting with service manager at Hurkin OTE who said he met me at a Moab shop years before. Most times when I meet someone for the first time I figure that is it, I will never see them again. Then when we encounter each other elsewhere sometimes , most times their memory recall is stronger than mine.
