Grandkids loved their new teeter totter airplane today, but didn't take long for the girl to say it's too hot and want back inside. I agreed with her. Both practiced some screaming today, she when he accidentally? head butted her in the nose, and he when he tried closing a door without getting his fingers out of the way. Nothing out of the ordinary. Didn't accomplish much today.

Jack, good that your friends are still around, but sounds like they're going to take a while to get back to normal, especially her. I'm guessing the bike is a wreck, but that's a lot less painful to deal with, expendable compared to friends.

Evening, Gregg. Wish I had some mountains to ride, this state is almost as flat as Kansas.

I'll be sure to bring the patch.

I think I've posted this before, but with tubeless it really helps to have a maximum airflow to seat the beads, no valve in the stem and an open chuck without that valve depressor in it. I even drilled a chuck out bigger for more air, made a difference.
Gas and a match Mike.

Evening gents. Took a pain pill as per my new night routine. TLT and the girls are leaving Saturday morning, so I'll be all alone.

Manny left me his number and has agreed to take me to therapy on Monday and Wednesday next week.

He works two jobs and has parents he helps with. I have a friend down the road, literally on my street, that can be here quickly.

I have no one that can actually stay with me. I'll be okay. I'll have to limit any kind of dangerous activity. For instance, this evening I was working with crutches and nearly fell. TLT was close enough to prevent disaster, but I still managed to hurt myself. So, none of that while they're gone.
