Strike one

Last night I made my first attempt at getting the tubeless tire centered better on the rim to get rid of the thump I am feeling at higher speed. At first I tried deflating the tire to less than 10 PSI and then just rolling around as I sat on it which proved unsuccessful. I then totally deflated the tire and massaged it by hand trying to eyeball the tire to determine if it is seated evenly. After several reinflate and test ride cycles the annoying thump was still felt. My patience reservoir had expired by that point so I shelved the task until another time. I have to get it corrected as riding the wheel when it feels this way just isn’t enjoyable.

Last night for some reason I went back and watched the Warcraft movie which came out in 2016. The movie was greatly anticipated by the millions of Warcraft nerds like me but it received pretty negative reviews. When I first saw it I recall thinking it wasn’t bad. When I went back and watched it last night I felt it was even less bad. Maybe like fine wine, it has improved with age.

Again last night I had a weird sleep sequence where I passed out sort of suddenly while watching TV in bed and then woke up with all the lights on at 11PM. This is a sequence I hope to not be repeating for long as it makes falling back asleep extremely challenging for me. My mind fires up about whatever it is concerned about at that moment and it feels like a 1000 gallon tub of water can’t put it out. I’m still going Unisom free, hoping that natural exhaustion will take over.

I did have a weird set of dreams last night that I only remember fragments of. One of them involved me quitting my job. I remember having a number of people question the wisdom of doing so as I was so close to receiving the full 30 year pension. I don’t recall why I did so or my response to the naysayers.
