Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Since the bicycle(s):

beater bike (rear wheel)

RideGenesisH1CommuterEBike2017

(something with the pedals?

+ eBike limited to short distances)

and folding Montague (flat with new rim)

are all down

 

and SunSeekerEZ3Trike2020

isn't up, derailleurs (sp?), brakes, etc

 

Walking has been my exercise

and getting around,

for what i used to do by pedaling

(a lot faster)...

 

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

With ConVid19ContinuesIn2020

some may thing it's safer not to bring

it in to store, i'm not sure,

i happen to have them down,

parts availability,

my mechanical issues, motivation

and energy, etc...

 

It's good to get some exercise,

and cooler weather i don't mind

as much...

An early start helps,

predawn, if up anyways,

the CurFew is bothering me,

as i used to walk in the overnight,

early am usually,

after drunks but before dawn,

as trail and light, for photos,

deer, wildlife/ animals (Bunnies/

Rabbits), etc

seen more when not as busy,

and avoiding people breathing on me,

the trails are not that wide,

some don't wear masks,

i generally don't, trying to breath,

but in close quarters (limited space),

i try to put on a mask,

my face is likely snivelly (sp?),

can't look that good,

and exercising like clothes,

not dress to impress,

as some younger people may

be looking for a mate, or

some unknown yuppie type standard(s),

but walking long distances,

besides my feet (run over by a MetroAccess

sent overflow taxi),

don't bother me that

much in cooler weather...

 

I usually have a goal in mind,

yesterday trying to find an

iTouchWearable

SmartWatch

the SE model i bought around

Father's day (?) so Juneish?

only 9months use and 1+ year warranty?,

the charging cable has two pins

one doesn't raise like a spring underneath,

and so i can't charge it,

have a limited time before i loose

battery,

i costs $10 (half price)

but shipping costs,

if ordered from the company

online, and the 3 model

which is more water proof

is coming out, so a dilemma (sp?)

but doesn't have as much heart:

Heart Rate,

Blood Pressure?

(No that would be useful

and need resting)

O2 sensor

so stuck,

and costs $60 sale price

(list $90?),

even with a 10% discount,

i had thought i would need

another charging cable but

not gotten around to getting one,

now with limited time and

resources, becomes more dire,

so tracking my walks,

number of steps, etc,

distance walked,

even an OpenGPSTracker

route sometimes helps,

stopping in at store,

bathroom use has been

important, luckily one was open

and made it to a store,

another time, some parks

have bathrooms, others i

didn't wander around to check,

but been up in the night

about every hour having to urinate,

some think it might be diabetes

a common symptom of that,

as well as sleepy with sweets,

and have had a lot of those

at times, but got a whole ham

at CapitalAreaFoodBankAtArlMill2020

this last weekend,

a long wait, but had wifi,

near the front of the line

starting pre dawn

so was able to listen to something

i would normally do around that time,

though too cold to type / use chat,

so missed out before the holiday again,

timing of that is bothersome,

both Saturday mornings,

the huge line and at least some

very arrogant staff/ volunteers,

trespassing and belligerent

(sp?) about it too...

A lot of ham, not sure what

the Muslim folks did about

that, some are, more than most

and rather WASPish volunteers

i guess their planning was not

turkey, and chicken was done

previously elsewhere,

so variety for me,

i might have traded for a second

ham, and the arrogant trespasser(s)

may have tried bribing me about

before, but no sale/ didn't take,

as busy with headphones with

audio losing signal too...

 

Tried some cold weather stuff,

and using the Rollenator

as a chair/ carrying platform,

just sitting around in the

predawn cold in the shade,

a lot like going to the warehouse,

but less walking to get there,

so never really warm up much,

anyways, long johns/ BaseLayers

not mentioned in AldiCantFinds2020

found one bottoms,

and three tops (2x  XXL or XL,

1x Large

1x grey and 2x black mixed)

so got to try those,

some think they can't be used

as outerwear,

 and i had too look up,

some do, others think it offensive,

i usually wear stuff over, shorts even

as i need the pockets, but like

leggings, tights, etc

much of which i can't find

(AttemptedMurderByInspections2019

a lot of stuff went bagged to storage,

off season especially and some

special washing/ dry cleaning

jacket(s) etc, so need to find

some of that, go through and

wash/ clean/ hand wash likely

and parka like outdoorsy

camping  old down jacket/vest

warmest, but oil/ very old

high school age, and need

come TLC care/ sewing,

and the Aldi jacket from last year

$5 and $10 (reverse order)

going to ReelAbilitiesFilmFestival2019

but failed in getting there, late

and dark, cold, got another,

the pockets are small and don't

close so wallet, electronics,

gloves, all risking losing in smaller

pockets without closures,

i thought of grommeting (sp?) them closed

and a bungie cord like keep bigger

stuff from falling out, can move the

bungie cord to get into wallet

and say pull out a debit card

but some risks in doing that,

Velco is loud, but might be easier,

some sewing ability and other

redesign repurposing needed,

the jacket is good, for exercise

has a hoodie top, that and the

GardenLine gardening hat,

keeps store/ etc florescent

and headlights out of my eyes

going balding and head warm,

good shade protection other times

and some sneeze/ privacy

but has to be up like a cowboy

hat, or is blocking my vision

especially on the sides,

peripherally...

 

Bail Return by Buses/ Rail

 

Buses are free, and ended up

finishing some very long walks

with a public bus, one seemed

to be running again,

and found another one

between MerriField to

Ballston (saves Rail Fares,

especially when low on money

and last attempt to add fare

with coins failed at EFC,

usually try to have some emergency

amount on that reduced fare SmartCard

just for such things, but adding fare

on buses not really possible and not

by rail that often, so it hasn't happened,

yet, but would be good to remember,

now that I've driveled (sp?) on it,

maybe will remember...)...

 

 

 

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

Planning?

Some wandering,

by bicycle not as bad,

not stuck without a bathroom

as much...

 

 

What Can Be Found?

 

Thinks to not think about while walking,

some deciding by exercising,

make a long journey for something?

then have to find something

to buy to justify the long trek?

 

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

AldiCantFinds2020

a lot of the time...

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Noob

You walk how far?

 

Kid(s)

And you're tall too,

so easier, right?

 

Parents

Maybe bargaining

for screen / game time,

and they accompany you

on your walks/ bike rides,

ActiveTransitForPECredit2019

and start learning a healthier

life style?

 

Dis/Dys

I'm sure books are written

about treking in EU/

doing the Camilla?

religious trek in Spain,

to San _ cathedral,

but what of the US

besides the Appalachian

Trail, Pacific Coast, etc?

 

General Public

May not understand long

walks, no beach to speak of,

SunRise/ SunSet,

rushing to a fast paced lifestyle

too busy to stop and smell

the exhaust/ green house gasses

one is creating that way(s)...

 

 

Assumptions

 

Exercise is good but

extremes not always good

wearing blisters/ blood blisters

in feet take weeks to heal,

and not so good to do

so often, muscles/ tendons,

highly variable sloth like inactivity,

to such extremes, etc...

 

 

Time Limits

 

Early leaving helps,

as turns out it takes to long

leaving 10+AM and 6+ hours

starts getting dark,

so have to bail to Bus/

Rail to get back by dark,

which gets cold(er) again

visibility in/ around roads,

and safely back to home/

bed (zonk out quickly

then get up start all over again,

or like this journal it...)

 

 

Book Data

 

Likely trail and

Fat Man Walking

type books that go further,

my first was to food meetings,

overweight, and high triglycerides,

likely from medications,

changed that and how i was living,

driving more, and got back into

bicycling, as transit/hobby,

which i had done as a kid

and later, commuting to work,

but had showers, bail to rail,

odd work schedule to stay

around late/ go early

quiet time to do any thinking,

etc...

etc

/GoFish

some other stuff getting there

likely by bicycle, some walking,

varies, see for what trips

what methods/ routes, etc

but respect privacy,

waving at people one thing

breathing to say hello

or even thinking of what to say

(wittier than "are we there yet?")

is another thing...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

I still walk, some think it defeat for a biker

to walk, i think more cross training,

given supply shortages

and disabled/ elderly

so have some more time,

too much time in isn't good for me,

lowering risks of being breathed upon,

off the pavements, helps, feet get sore,

tired, and constant pounding on hard

surfaces, went on sidewalk helps,

some planning and adapting helps,

a lot of police motorcycles

around a holiday pumpkin in a

mowed field by the trail,

(for deer?) turned out to be

a funeral procession,

one of them had bike racks,

some (shout out)

claim(ed) i knew the person...

Limited and discrete ways

of knowing...
