8r4d A #homeowner afternoon as my sleuthing on our creeping decrease in water pressure over the last few months revealed that there was all sorts of plastic particulate in the aerators of our faucets… which quickly googled up as a hot water heater issue. So, I guess we’re due for a new hot water heater, huh?

8r4d The new #yeg #footbridge over whitemud is coming along nicely, maybe even in time for some new summer #running routes..???

8r4d Daylight savings time hits harder when it coincides with an early #running day. We clocked 8k in the cool damp of the icy streets.

8r4d I don’t think I’ve ever walked down this trail with the lights lit before.

They just finished building it in the fall and I can’t say that the dog and I ventured down this new trail as much in the winter as we did in the summer, and what with the coyotes roaming around this part of the world it’s not particularly safe after dark.

I spent the better part of the sunlit hours in front of a Zoom call doing the third day of my fourth class of my business certification work. A walk was in order, but you’d think I’d have a bunch of pent up energy to stroll forever. In reality, I was drained and we just strolled, lit by this nifty lamps which should make it safer—but then coyotes don’t care about a bit of light do they?

adventuredog Just a wagging tail and a wagging tongue, too.

8r4d I am a bit of a sucker for convenience in location, so the fact that nearly half my #coffee adventures end up at one of the four starbucks within spitting distance of my house is a sad little surprise. I try to support local, but I spend almost as much on gas as I do on coffee, then, and oil money to me seems dirtier than coffee coin.

That’s my little political rant for the day.

Aside from that, I had accumulated enough points-stars or whatever and cashed it in today for a branded ceramic mug. So, at least if I’m not being consumer conscious, there is a chance I’m queuing up for the environment, huh?

8r4d The weather is still holding around freezing for some late #winter #running adventurers, but the forecast is not looking so lovely for next week. I’ll take ice and puddles over minus twenty and more snow!

8r4d #running has shifted to #hilltraining in the cold #winter blur that makes me yearn for something worth training for now.

pixelazy Atop the infamous #hilltraining hill at dusk is a precious view of the crazy wild world.

castironguy Those day old #doughnuts are better than nothing, huh?
