This is the day with extra pictures. These are the things that didn’t show up elsewhere throughout the week. Or, as we see here, that have taken over the week. Like ice!
And those gel and pellet packs. They don’t melt.
I’ve worn a lot of ice on my shoulder this week. It is very exciting after about … Wednesday.
But we also tinkered with our new bike trainer. I mentioned this the other day, but here are a few pictures. This is the front wheel stand. You place the front wheel here, so you don’t go anywhere. Apparently you can stack them one on top of another for a more uphill experience. But we’ll just work up to that, won’t we?
This is the part of the trainer that you attach to the back of the bike. You bolt the custom skewer onto the bright and shiny silver parts at the bottom:
And so the back tire then fits snugly on that silver cylinder in the back. That drum spins along with the tire. There are two tension knobs on the back. What they’ll do remains a mystery. It’ll be a few more weeks before I can tell you.
Right now I can’t do anything more than rest my hand on the handlebars. And pick up a glass of water. Otherwise, my arm is tucked away so I don’t run into a doorsill and my hand is just there for balance.
“But, Kenny, you just had surgery on Monday.”
I’m ready to be back to normal again, thanks.
“But, Kenny, you have to take it easy. The collar bone is one of the most painful injuries.”
You said it.
