I’m not sure who ought to clear the sidewalk on Route 45 near Curtis, but somebody should. I’m fit enough to clamber over three-foot snow walls blocking crosswalks, but hundreds of my neighbors are not. @Applebees @cvspharmacy @SchnuckMarkets
I’m not sure who ought to clear the sidewalk on Curtis Road next to the U of I Solar Farm, but somebody should. I’m fit enough to trudge through the 12-inch snow, but hundreds of my neighbors are not. @UofIllinois
I have rewarded myself for all my hard work with a mug of hot cocoa. (I have shoveled the walk, put down salt, taken out a bag of trash, dropped the outgoing mail in the mail slot, and checked for today’s mail (which had not yet arrived).)
A little hiking in the woods gets me a very nice Oura ring activity score. #oura #ouraring
The pale green lichen and the dark green moss are what caught my eye, and then I thought, “Oh, this might be worthy of a #thicktrunktuesday post!”
Loaf fresh out of the oven:
Today’s bread: 2 c Bubbles (our sourdough starter); ¼ tsp each salt, acidic acid, citric acid; ¾ tsp diastatic malt powder; 1 T olive oil; 2 T local wildflower honey; ⅓ c each rye, semolina, spelt, barley flour, quick oats; 1 c bread flour; 1⅓ c whole wheat.
I’m only rarely in shape to run 7+ miles, and even more rarely in shape to do it in the winter. 🏃🏻♂️
I spotted this toy in mile 4, and paused to get a photo.
Not going to bars or restaurants due to the pandemic has made it harder to try new beers.
Once again, today I bought a 4-pack purely on spec. This time I am very pleased with the Destihl Deadhead Extended Jam.
On Friday I did a 4 mile run. 🏃🏻♂️ Around half way, a Red-tailed Hawk flew low over my head and struck at prey in the lawn across the street. Then, before I could get my phone out, flew up into a tree. You can see it there: the bird-shaped smudge about 2/3rds up.
