The streak is over.....

8:00 am - Sunday - January 7th - GNHS - 55° F, humidity 57° F, wind 11 mph out of the north by northwest.....cloudy today with rain and a forecast high of 62° F.  On this date in 2019 TLE and I were in Georgia visiting goof friends Roscoe and Geni whom we met whilst working at the Yellowstone General Store in Mammoth Hot Springs back in the summer of 2017....Geni and Roscoe...."Miss you, love you, mean it!".....↴ 

Saturday TLE and I enjoyed our first day off since New Years Day.  Shortly after publishing my latest blog post TLE and I headed out on a 2 mile out and back walk.  We haven't walked two miles at one time since I hurt my knee, but that knee is feeling so good right now we decided to give it a shot.....we covered the 2.07 miles in 36 minutes, 48 seconds averaging 3.4 mph, and burning 355 caloric units.....

.....and even though we were not working, there were three 4 hour rentals handled solely by Hunter.  After finishing our walk I headed directly into the trailer to do my workout, which consists mainly of toning exercises (modified pushups, lower back, situps, hand strengthening, arm curls, and triceps), after which I changed clothes and headed down to the hot pools/tubs for the first soak of the new year....

.....after which I sat outside in by anti gravity recliner watching golf and football for an hour, or so, before the chilly south wind chased me back inside the Newell.

Around 2:30 pm TLE and I took our second walk of the day, this time just the 1 mile out and back version (it actually ended up being 1.2 miles) averaging 3.3 mph and incinerating another 205 caloric units.....

.....shortly after returning from our walk I was checking the COA rental app to see if there were any rentals for Sunday when I noticed that one of the 4 hour rentals for Saturday was marked as 'WRECKED'....wait, what?  TLE and I hurried outside to find Hunter staring at a wrecked General 2 seater....it had been rolled out at the Bat Caves.  Thankfully, all the damaged is cosmetic, but it is extensive, including a bent roll cage, so it will be out of commission for a while.....

....so, our no accident streak has come to a screeching halt, but at least no one was injured.

It wasn't long until the Chocolates began to be lit by the setting sun....

....followed by a sunset which lasted over 45 minutes beginning to end.....

.....on a side note TLE and I began working in earnest the day after Christmas to get rid of those holiday pounds.  So far the pounds are shedding rather quickly, and we are on course to get to new lows before the end of this seasonal job in late March.  Also, we continue to be in good health, and still asymptomatic to the Wuhan Flu.

Thanks for stopping by!
