It was almost too smoky again but I decided to ride my e-bike out to the disc golf course. On the way there I had a flat tire from what looked like a staple. It took some time to find the hole and I was worried that the tube had moved around and made multiple holes. Sometimes that happens and I had only one patch left and hardly any glue.

Someone had kind of messed up and forgot to put the new patch kit on the e-bike. (It might of been me, lol.) I thought for sure I had several patches and plenty of glue but no…

Anyhow, I did manage to play a round of eighteen at the disc golf course but it was not that good an effort. I was kind of worried about the tire being flat when I got done and having no way to patch it any more. I’ve pushed bikes home before and it is no fun. Pushing an e-bike might be tough because of the weight but the motor would be a help and it has a walk mode. I think at that point I would resort to putting some leaves in the tire just to get enough cushion to ride back.

When I got done with the game my bike tire was still full of air so I rode back in time and did not have to worry about it so much.

One nice thing about today was that I felt like I kind of know what it takes to get my putting back in form. Sometimes when I’m really smooth with everything my throws come out just right. It is a hard part of the game for me though and just when I think I have a good technique it only works for a little while and then I’m back with issues.

It sounds like the air is going to be smoky still for a few days. It is raining tonight so I hope it cleans things out a bit.

A nice hawk feather I saw today out on the disc golf course:

I think I might have scared the bird that lost this feather out of a tree with a bad throw a while ago. If it is the same bird at least it still seems to be making a home in the same area.
