Deby's day off

August 23rd/09 - Salmon, Idaho

A day off to recoup. Slept in until 9:00 a.m. Pleasant sunny morning, 68 degrees. Went out for breakfast, lunch and supper. Just like an all inclusive. Did laundry and walked about the town.

Replaced my rear tire with a 90 psi Kendra that I picked up at Valley Cycle in Hamilton, Montana. Also, put Slime liners inside my front and rear tires as well as Deby's tires.

Flat tires seems to be a real issue around here. The hardware store was full of Slime, Slime liners, and even solid rubber tubes. Thorns apparently are the problems and get worse as one travels south. Sharp and hard like finishing nails. We will see how the liners work.

Warmed up quickly during the day, but by about 3:00 p.m. it began to rain, and rain hard. Right now, at 10:45 p.m. it is still raining. Hope it cleans up for tomorrow.
