The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Morning early risers. Couldn’t sleep in so got up and watching qualifying in Singapore for the F1 race. SWMBO is snoozing on the couch, so have to keep it short. Have a great weekend.

A couple-O-years ago a photo thread I was participating in we did a run up to Halloween with pix and I chose the Heavy Metal franchise…not that it has to do anything w Halloween but just because it was a walk down memory lane!

From the artwork that became the movie poster, based off the story “Taarna” …your run up to All Hallows Eve MZ:

I am bored

And i want to eat eat eat
I don’t get bored. I do find I get lazy. Completely idle. Which is why I think I should get a job. As for always wanting to eat I had my first baked potato in 5 weeks with a New York strip asparagus and garlic bread I made from a weck roll from Wegmans about the time you sent this message. While streaming a binge on Boardwalk Empire.

I am struggling to lose some weight. I had already eaten and wasnt hungry.... that is the struggle

I’ve been trying to lose weight too. I’ve been fairly good at portion control. But the real reason I gained weight occurred after I got laid off. When I worked I walked a lot. Now I get no real exorcise. I find it simple to find reasons not to walk.

Just got in from 10K steps. I have some household chores, a bit of shopping, and maybe another walk this afternoon if Time permits.

The paths connected to my hood and out to where they connect to Manassas battlefield are all posted this year through February. It’s a qualified lottery for bow hunting. Relegated to sidewalks and streets has been my latest excuse not to walk.
How far is 10k steps? 7 or 8 miles? Or how long is a 10k step walk? Maybe if I set a timer for half the time I can just walk away. Then reset the timer and see if I can get back home before it goes off again.

My route here is mostly urban. Lotsa concrete and asphalt and cityscape. Fortunately, it does roll, so there's terrain. I have a couple of different routes I use. Today was the hillier one. Ten Kay is maybe 4 miles or not quite. That depends on your stride. This morning took about an hour and a half. The oxygen seems to agree with me.

When I tried to measure it was a while ago. However ChatGPT advised I had an unusually long stride and walked faster than others. I don't want to say how many steps as I cannot remember. It was 7 miles. The route through the woods on the trials I described is in bow season this year. Culling the herd. I do remember it was less than 11 minute miles. When my dad had a heart attack years ago he walked 3 miles everyday after he got home from work. My mom could not keep up. 33 minutes every time. Too late today. Its 2 and i haven't had lunch or got what I need for dinner tonight. All 3 of us. One told me pork, no chicken. So I need to find veggies and something to do to cous cous so it isn't boring. And try not to make corn bread because I really need me some cornbread.

I'd like to get better than 3MPH, but it is what it is.


I did get the roof repair tooken care of - Round One. We get some rain this week, allegedly, so I should get a test. I won't be here, but I can leave a bucket under it and check what happens.
