Their forms don&#8217;t anticipate a foreign national driving a rented RV. Made for an interesting session. Opened the Rav4&#8217;s back door. Works fine. The damage is superficial, but probably enough to make them replace the whole door and bumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we missed seeing Debra on Saturday due to the accident, we took her out for lunch. Ohanagrill. A Hawai&#8217;ian eatery on the shore of Sloan Lake. It was hot, a bit muggy. Felt like Maui just a little bit. I had kalua pork and cabbage. We shared four Portuguese donuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/countries-Uganda.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51522\" width=\"274\" height=\"193\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra&#8217;s headed to Uganda for a two-year stint in the Peace Corps. She&#8217;s sixty and wants an adventure. Sure she&#8217;ll get one there. Business development. Unless. She also picked up her ESL credentials and might try to get work in that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming back from Lakewood where Debra lives the battery on Kate&#8217;s portable O2 concentrator died. She was not worried as long as we were at the relatively low Denver altitude (still a mile high, though), but when we began to climb the mountains toward home her chest felt heavy and she started to get a headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/inogen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51523\" width=\"242\" height=\"242\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I drove faster than the speed limit, which I rarely do, getting her back to our home concentrators. I ran in, turned one on, and got her the tubing as she came in the door. Much better. Not gonna let that happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty tired today. It was a busy, overly busy, week. Lots of driving here and there with Gabe&#8217;s glove crisis and Kate&#8217;s pulmonology appointment plus Tom&#8217;s visit. Good tired, though.
