Today
...we started our day by bringing Bear to the vet because he has been scratching up a storm since I took him out to CR Tuesday. I think he may have gotten stung but it's hard to say, and of course the vet said the same thing. About $275 later we had 2 shots, some antibiotics, and a topical to put on the areas he has scratched himself raw. He had a better day with things so hopefully this takes care of it.
D and I finished out the morning doing a ride at CR. We did ball fields, yellow, black, orange, and then a little slice of white to get back to the car in an hour. The trails are doing pretty well and the work we have done since Ida (merely a month gone) is riding really well. We had 3 people interactions of note today:
1. A guy holding a running race that flagged us down to thanks us for the trail work (he knows MTBNJ)
2. A rider who stopped us to thank us for the work we're doing out there and to introduce himself
3. An old hiker who yelled at some woman to keep her dog on the leash
We are hikers too but this is not a good look, Incidentally, the dog in question is probably less potentially harmful than a chickadee.
After lunch we went back to CR with Simon & the Bear (a throwback sit-com?) to do more work. Recap of that on the Ida thread
here. We also rebuilt the thing that someone wiped out.

As a contrast to the vet bill today, we found out that my FIL paid exactly $0 for all of his medical bills while in the hospital. Somewhat hard to comprehend, isn't it? He is also now walking around just with a cane, no walker anymore.
Oh and a few print copies of these came in the mail today:
