One PAX sallied forth on an Off the Books, Down Range run. Temps were sunny and 70. Really. Except the sunny part.
Route: 1 mile north on boardwalk, reverse, past the starting point, 1.5 miles south, reverse, BTTVSF. 5 total.
NMS: Vinny sent this. Golf season is around the corner. Get your wardrobe advice now.
3 PAX and one pooch assembled for an Off The Books run, Sunday style. Temps were sunny and 70. According to the utility workers in Westham, this is more or less what happened.
12:10 hours: YHC makes his lunch. Passing on the opportunity for jalapeño hot dogs, YHC opts for salad and left-over, homemade moo-shoo pork.
12:30 hours: Lockjaw makes his lunch, including a (glazed?) doughnut.
14:00 hours: YHC leaves his house, jogs 1 mile to Chez Lockjaw.
14:09:15 hours: YHC meets Lockjaw, da Vinci, and Lark.
14:09:30 group starts running. 3.2 miles. At some point, Lockjaw mentions inadvisability of doughnut selection. Ahem.
Loop to / from Chez Lockjaw.
YHC runs home. Total about 5.3 miles.
Silent Number-am-a, Name-a-ram-a, Everyman took himself out.
NMS: After having both the Breakfast Club and Dogpile impacted by ice yesterday, YHC was glad to hit the roads of Westham. Nothing quite like the smell of freshly fallen pines, the tapping of snow and ice falling, and the soft hum of gas generators.
YHC hopes Lockjaw successfully addressed the doughnut.
Annoucements: Lockjaw mentioned to YHC last week a desire to add a third running option during the week. Current schedule for several PAX in our area is Tuesday at Spider Run and Friday at RAMM / Currahee. YHC figured Sundays might be an option. Pucker ready to join for runs after 10:00 hours.
Drop a line if you have interest.
YHC needed to make up some ground as I bailed on Nancy Lopez yesterday, so walking in any condition was gonna happen. Walk was great and company was even better. I always enjoy our robust conversations! YHC still loves all the PAX even though we do NOT agree on just about everything we discussed on the second half of the walk. You will need to show up to know the topic.
So, today is the Super Bowl………..well who gives a care about the game, the attention has turned to the commercials. Enjoy the video as I went down a major rabbit hole watching videos this morning.
YHC arrived at the pre determined Sunday time and place for the weekly south side Off The Books run/walk. Upon launch time YHC was the only runner, and no walkers were observed. Thankfully YHC had a route planned, which when executed resulted in just over 6 miles. Post run coffee was delicious. See y’all in the gloom!
4 runners and one walker with a rabid saber toothed poodle launched from Starbucks on a chilly Sunday morning. Runners got in just over 10, walker + poodle nailed 5 – a heck of start for any day no matter what you did. Shoutout to Boberry who ran; it was his longest distance ever. It’s a great day.
Two of Tuckahoes finest gathered for a Hot Potato beatdown, this is what transpired.
COP – exercises
Mosey to Pull Up Bars at Pemberton Elementary

YHC might have missed something, but cant remember.

Three regulars took a stroll through the Salisbury neighborhood on a chilly Sunday morning. Wilson and Aisle 5 were missed (the walk just isn’t the same without a 45 minute discussion about the history of Walmart cold storage facilities and their connection to VFD’s) but we managed to solve a few of life’s problems anyway.
Snitch entertained with stories of Beer Man and Guitar man. Life is good.
Three regulars showed up to OTB for a chilly walk. We waited briefly for Nancy, but alas, the fartsack held Nancy tight.
Aisle 5 was sharing a surprise big order that came in for Wal-Mart who will be purchasing his Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). And the story began……….cows eat grass, provide the milk to farmers, gets pasturized………………..and so on. Finally got to what the heck the drive is. OC of course knew what a VFD was and they went into geek talk until YHC chimed in and got geek shamed! Great story and Aisle 5 was a good sport with our interruptions. You should ask him, again, great story. Just watch the attached riveting video and you will get the drift.
Oh, back to the milk. We also learned Wal-Mart has a dry storage, cooler (for milk, produce……) and a freezer. The product (milk in this story) gets to the cooler on a DUAL rail crane. Please do not confuse with a SINGLE rail. It just doesnt work the same. His VFD helps deliver to appropriate storage facility.
Super happy he got the order and that he knows what the hell the VFD is and how it works. Join us next Sunday for his mobile PowerPoint (broadcasted on street as we walk) on something else that we have no idea what it is, but I am sure we will start at the beginning….”In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.”
Prayers to family members we spoke about also today.
Great walk today. 3.5 miles accomplished. Great conversations during the walk and even richer conversations during coffee.
Two runners and three walkers and one pup embraced the 29 degree morning. Boberry & OC decided to get in 10-12 miles +/- a few. Walkers gor in ~3.5.
Some great engaged debate during the walk :)! Show up – youd enjoy it!
As always the coffee was hot and good conversation!
