Got back from my 3 miler…knocked it out in 61mins…I’ve taken 5-10 off when I first started…I might be running if this continues?

So, had a funny encounter on my walk. The regulars are all on the trail, couple new dog walkers, and then I come across this lady. I’m gonna say around 75 maybe? As I get closer, I hear music. She’s got over the ear headphones, with a toboggan on top…ROCK’n OUT!.

I couldn’t make out what she was listening to, but I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t Sinatra or Elvis! . The funny part is as we pass, she give me a one finger salute…NO, not the middle finger…just a pointer.

I laughed as I walked on…I realized she probably had more time logged on the back of a Harley or driving her own sports car than I ever will!

Lesson for us all…keep on Truck’n.

I think I miss about four pages there somewhere today. Gives me something to catch up on as the PT minutes countdown on my machine here.

Morning all…It’s my day today. Go forth and enjoy. Once you get over the Hump…

Got things done yesterday, Getting my mind right for heading back out into the real world. Going out for my walk today. Gotta bundle up…it’s like 48 out today! . I’ve been bitching about the hot weather we’ve been having…now that the chill has hit…I’m like, can I take that back?

Big shout out to @likes2watchU for helping me research that movie I’ve been yapping about and searching the better part of twenty yrs to find! All the talk about MTeeVee yesterday had me thinking about it again, and L2’s research nailed it down! Fantastic Planet (La Planète sauvage, 1973-the original French) is it. Funny how the years have warped my memory about it…everything I’ve been searching for was not only off by 20 odd yrs but the things I thought I remembered about it were wrong!

Anyhow…L2 dug in and found it in a couple of hrs of research. Thank you my dear! Your MZ——

I've had the opposite happen. I would be cleaning out my desk at work and stumble across chocolate that somebody had given me at either Christmas or valentines.

Invariably, whoever was watching me do this would ask if I was planning on eating that chocolate to which I would reply, "nope". Then they'd ask if they could have it.

As they were reaching for it I would warn them that it was at least, in some cases, five or seven years old.

They said the same thing. Chocolate doesn't really expire.

I said "well what about when it gets those white spots on it?"

They said, "eh, that's just the sugar crystallizing. Just makes it a little crunchier. it's still good."

I got rid of a lot of candy that way over the years

It's called bloom, I think.

Two of my coworkers out here have wives who are nurses and they do "contract work" for 6 months at a time.
They were knocking down some serious $$$

Traveler nurses can make bank! I had a friend pulling down a couple hundred K a year working three 12 hour shifts a week.

I'll bet you'll be the first one out the door!

Its still nice here in Virginia too. Wind and some gusts today. More leaves fell off here next to Bull Run than at home. One of my favorite trails. Surprising it is only about 15 minutes from home. At the point I turn off from the river there is a long steep incline up. Still takes my breath away. But since I started this fall I am down to 39min from the 54min I started. When I take the 15yr old it takes an hour. And I have 4200 steps instead of 3200. I wonder which is better health wise? More steps and time or a longer stride and even pace.

I finally caught up. For the moment! I woke up with a nasty cold on Monday, which has kind of effed with my week. I missed gym on Tuesday; I'm not sure I'll make it on Friday either.

I'm drinking gallons of tea and trying to rest.

Have a good Thursday, everyone! ️

Does zinc help to lessen the severity and shorten the duration of your colds? Some people swear by it.

I find it helps somewhat. But I do have to make sure to take the minimum recommended dosage. Otherwise, it messes with my GI system if I recall correctly. I always have some on hand, though, just in case
