Heading up the Letter S, NY 443 and NY 85 on a sunny January afternoon.
Exploring the sand dunes and beach on Presque Isle.
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
This weekend I walked 28 miles, which includes 16 miles today. 70 miles for the past seven days.
I haven’t done a true 20 miler since last summer so I should do one next. Need to just devote a day and plan a route. Maybe walk to Thacher Park and back from Delmar. Or maybe somewhere else.
Then I want to walk in late April from Kiwanis Park in Rotterdam to the Schoharie Crossing which is a 30 miles round trip. While not strenuous terrain it will be a 12 hour walk from 6 am to 6 pm which will include ample time for lunch and breaks. It will build practice for all day walking.
Come April I’m planning to practice walking around the neighborhood with a 30 lb on my back in preparation for the 50 miler.
Already I’ve cut nearly all processed foods and sugar out of my diet and working eat a diet with lots of low glycenmic index foods to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Planning to get a physical later in April before the 30 mile walk.
A pretty quiet and fairly sunny morning in Delmar, just waiting for the local bus .... a pretty unremarkable morning.
Taken on Wednesday December 21, 2016 at CDTA Bus Stop #10595.We might see some sunshine for a few days. Going to be fairly warm, but not that much compared to recent years. Gets dark early now, but at least it looks like will have some Indian Summer for a bit longer before it gets cold for the year.

Kind of a dark and dreary morning. I am not moving fast, despite waking up before 6 AM and barely catching the 8:30 AM local downtown. I don’t know why, I think it’s the darker mornings with September underway. Usually though I’m good at catching the express, as I really don’t want to take the local when I can avoid it.
Overcast, with fog and 60 degrees at the CDTA Bus Stop #10595. π« Calm wind. The dew point is 59 degrees. They are talking about more sun later, but first we have to wait for the fog to burn off.
I am still wearing my muzzle on the bus π· even though the Governor dropped the mask mandate yesterday, in celebration of the upcoming election. But if the politicians tell you not to do something, then it’s probably best to do it otherwise. As politicians primary care about getting re-elected and patronage jobs and not public health. Especially with cold season upon us π it just some prudent to wear a muzzle especially in tight spaces like a bus. π
The weekend is rushing towards me again, π I have made no real plans for the weekend. I thought about heading out of town but maybe not. It’s a Thacher Park weekend on the Nature Bus πΈ so that’s always a fun and easy choice that doesn’t cost anything. I’ve been thinking about doing a Schoharie trip or maybe Rensslearville State Forest in a future weekend, when I can remote work on a Friday. π»
Three day weekend, but it’s just not going to happen. Monday looks increasingly like snow, and Saturday will be bitterly cold. I mean I can work with the cold, but I think with highs in the single digits on Saturday, especially up north, it ain’t going to happen. I had a vision, but the weather seems to have taken it off the table. Winter just is tough for plans out of town. But I can stay home or go out to Five Rivers, and that won’t cost much money. I was so hoping for hot tenting, having a big ol’ fire, maybe shooting some guns, later on drinking some beer, burning up some of that scrap paper that is filling up the waste basket at home.
At least not so cold today, I was able to turn down the heat. π‘ But I am going to have to watch out for ice on the sidewalks with the warmer weather. The predicted sun is nice, but I almost feel like the meteorologists are too optimistic. I’m thinking more clouds will dominate. But only 26 degrees tonight, which is nice for a change, gives the heat a break. Almost 40 come Thursday, which will help with the ice. βοΈ Almost the ice can be worse then the snow, I don’t want to slip and fall again.
