First Time - Long Time

 Greetings !!! 

You are getting this today because of the impending BAD weather this morning, although I bet it don't rain for a few hours ,, it sure is Dark looking to the West of me,,, and I'd rather not get a wet ASS Biking or Walking,,,, although honestly , I am more concerned about My I-phone getting wet than me,,,  as to Quote Phrase from an old runner  friend of mine  - Tom  - he would say "hey - last time I checked ,,, I'm water proof " !    Quick Update - I started this at 7:10 & it's 7:26 now and Raining reasonably hard !

Ok so I promise to have more input and I will try to not make it 100% Political ,, but lets start that way...

I encourage you to Join the Lincoln Project - read their content and decide if you want to  make a donation, share the Content on Social Media or just take it all in for Yourself.  Ok - that's it,, but you will see a few the Their Videos pop up here..

Now - let's discuss Face Masks,,,,,  IF you are driving in your Car,  All Alone, wearing a mask - YOU ARE the REASON that  Pop Tarts have to have Directions on them !!!  

 Now - I admit that I ride my bike and I walk on the Rail Trail with No mask - we can debate later if you think I should have one.... but here is an  example of DOH ! do you understand what you are doing !!?!??  As I approach some people,,,,  Does not matter if I'm on  Wheels or Heels - They have the Mask on their Chin or in their hand, and they put it up on their face as I Pass - and Immediately remove it as I am pass along side them..  Ok if they are wearing the mask for ME.....   I am traveling into air they just exhaled - so the mask does no good to only be worn as I pass..  SAME if they are wearing the mask to-  they think -protect themselves,,, they are passing into air that I just exhaled , sneezed into , couched into.... so dropping the Mask immediately as we pass does not do shit for them !!!  And this matter not - if I am passing them from behind,,, or Passing them FACE to FACe across the 10 foot wide Rail trail... 

Have you seen me lately  ????  If not - I am down about 50 pounds since January 29th - hen I got some "bad" blood work... Since , my blood pressure and pulse has dropped,,, my A1C went down to under 5 and a half...  I do seem to be Stuck at this weight - just under 200 - but  am not sure I can eat less , or exercise more...  biggest change has been adding Fruits and Vegetables to my eating, eating less (smaller portions) , cooking almost everything fresh ,,,,  and we bought Traeger Grill - that is amazing,,, makes everything taste great,,, and you can't burn anything !!!   You sorta get three Grills in one,,, you can smoke anything ! at low temps 180 - 225 for a long time , several hours if needed,,, you can use it a s Bake oven from say that 250 degrees to 375,,, or crank it up to hight - 450 and Grill away like normal grill except with that great smoke flavor added to everything !  OK - Traeger advertisement over !!  I'm not in Any Running shape yet,, and do not expect to be able to run -  but Continue to work on Jogging a few half miles on my say  - every other day 5-6 mile walks... admit-tingly have some back pain from walking biking or working,,,  and for the Majority of days not taking those Tylenol to quiet it....

I - like everyone else - am wondering then Things will get back to "normal" or what that normal will look like, I'm not ready to get on a plane yet to travel anywhere....


Next weird thought........

You do know that it is possible that the last time we talked will be the last time we talk.

and the last time you saw me,.,,, and I you - will be the last time we do,..... Just sayin....


Gonna

YOU are WELCOME !!!
