Friday Jul 4 | ||

| New mattress set delivered this morning: tempurpedic delux. Smells like I just painted the room.
Neighbors car horn shorted this morning starting around 8. Nobody home, car doors locked. Intermittantly off and on for about 2 hours and then on for good starting about 10. House keeper showed up about 10:15 and gave us the keys. After getting into the car and failing to silence the horn, the next thoughts were to pull the fuse for the horn or disconnect the batttery. Not so simple. A fine example of American auto engineering prowess the Pontiac Sunbird(?) is not. 1. The battery is buried beneath the windshield wiper fluid tank. Need to remove the tank to get to it. 2. The electrical boxes, there are two of them, are both pinned beneath frame support struts. Can't open either without removing the frame supports. In frustration, somebody slammed one of the car doors. The horn shut off. So far, it's stayed off. | ||

Thursday Jul 3 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:6.0 weight:163lbs (injured) (rest day) | ||
| Spent the day in Malden, MO; down in the boot heel, getting a tour of the local community and surrounding farm land. (My mom has some property there.) Learned a lot about farming soy beans, corn, winter wheat, purple-hulled peas, irrigation, etc.
For instance: one of the big pivot irrigators costs about $1000 per acre to install. Farmers really don't like power lines; the poles get in the way of just about everything to do with planting, irrigating, and harvesting. It's bizarre how the soil changes from very sandy to very heavy and fertile from field to field, even within a field. Some of the fields looked like beaches the sand was so pure and clean. | ||

| Castlewood.
A bit warm, but as long as you kept moving, it wasn't bad. Trails were in great shape. Rode Roller Coaster backwards (missed the trail head) and then forwards. That's a great section of fast single track, maybe the best I've been on. Didn't go down to the river, so don't know if it's as high as it was.... the flies and gnats were a good disincentive to stay away. | ||

Last day at Maritz. Heel isn't quite as painful today. promising, I hope. Woke at 2AM last night and had trouble going back to sleep. Felt like I was tossing and turning all night with weird dreams. Tired today. Legs feel good today after yesterdays rides. | ||

Some unexpected impediments.... flooded, impassable road at fenton park where Larkin Williams turns right at the river. 4' of water? River looks like a lake, the water is clear, not flooded brown. Went around the problem through the park hoping it the road would be open farther south. It was for a bit, then another area with water on the road under the new 30 bridge. About 4" deep, 30' across, so it was rideable. Then more flooding at West Watson at the driving range/ball fields. A longer stretch this time and it looked pretty deep. Fortunately, a P/U truck was testing the water as I was watching from up on the hill at the 30 intersection. Driver said it was only 6-8" deep. Not in the mood to go all the way back to Marshall road (I was supposed to be home in 30 minutes so L could go out w/friends), so gave it a try.... didn't even get my feet wet. Dbl yellow line on the road was visible through the water, so wasn't too worried. Got to BB and Geyer just in time for a lengthy rest courtesy of BNSF, or was it Southern Pacific? Not included in time. | ||
