Hot Tub Walk

 I made a critical mistake this morning. 

I got out of bed about 6:30 and I started my morning in the hot tub. It was great. It was warm and relaxing and very peaceful.

But I can't stop sweating. Plus, I feel very lethargic.

I'm going to go out on my morning walk and try to invigorate myself. Let's see how that goes.

8:16AM: That was a tough walk but not a killer. I don't feel as good as I felt yesterday when I finished my walk. I stopped on the hill for about a minute and a half but otherwise had a good walk. It took me about 30 minutes to walk the 1.25 miles.

What a difference a day makes. 

Yesterday I was struggling on the hill during my walk. Today, I breezed through it. Don't get me wrong. It was still tough. But I didn't have to stop for rests and my thighs weren't burning when I reached the top.

I did the 1.25 mile course. And I managed to get it in between rain storms.

Autumn Addition

 Today was a tough walk. The hill climb really took it out of me. I stopped for a brief respite at the top of the first hill. Then I stopped again at the Kabot's Kitchen sign to set a spell. It probably took me three minutes to recover.

I ended up making the walk a little bit longer by walking down Euclid, all the way to Post Street and then down to Waverly. That addition turned my 1.25 mile walk into a 1.4 mile walk.

I hope the walking is helping me but it doesn't feel like it. In any event, it's not hurting me.

Let's Go Brandon!

I have just returned from my morning walk. I walked the 1.25 mile course which takes me up a hill to Division street and then half way up the Division street hill. The trip back down is a very steep hill which is surprisingly difficult to walk down. You're suddenly using different muscles and it's tough for a pussy like me.

I have noticed for the last two days that it has been difficult to climb the hill. I stopped and rested for about a minute today. There is a good resting place a little more than half way up the hill.

I could probably make a two mile walk but I don't think I could get much farther than that.

I would like to conclude by saying that my headline for todays post has nothing to do with the information held in the post. It's just a popular euphemism going around right now expressing ungraciousness to President Joe Biden, of whom I am not a fan.

Thoughts on Me from Myself

I have beat the sunrise. It looks to be a glorious day. I'm going to try and make the most of it.

Today is the last day of my Covid Quarantine. I feel completely free of any Covid symptoms. In fact, I feel fantastic.

I was at Costco the other day and bought a three set of plush wool socks. These socks are amazing and totally contributing to the fantasticness of my well being.

I have a couple of errands to do this morning and then I will get to work on some painting. But first, a random thought I like.

And now, it's time for the morning walk. 

The walk was brisk. I have to do some acclimating to colder temperatures. The day is not warming very quickly. It's 37°, expected to reach 63°. I have already run over to church and got the Power Point presentation ready for Sunday. I stopped and got a couple of bagels which I heated up here at the house.

I have a couple of phone calls to make and then I'm off to the General Store for some ScareCrow supplies.

9:38AM: Okay, Pool World has told me a fix to try with the hot tub. The breaker keeps tripping in the tub. That shuts off the heat. The guy told me to pull the filters and run it and see if that stops the tripping.

I need to drain that tub. It has a lot of spooge in the water. That's not right.

Only one more phone call to make. I'm checking on Season Pass Refund Insurance. 

Refund Insurance has been purchased. I hope I didn't waste $39.00. Actually, I do hope I wasted it. That will mean I skied the whole season.

12:35PM: I am now ready for lunch. I think I'll go ride my bike over to Geardo's for a taco or two.

4:30PM: Well, I finally got around to painting the trim. It could probably use another coat but I think I'll wait until Spring.

The hot tub has not tripped the breaker since I pulled the filters and ran the jets. I'll check it in the morning but I think I'm going to have to buy some new filters. It's been a while.
