Lost and found

The quest to find the mountain passage between my Alta Vista subdivision and Rizal Extension road continues apace. Yesterday I was quite pleased with finding a trail from Rizal that took me into the Marian Hills neighborhood, which is pretty close to Alta Vista.

Most of the trail was easy going, just the way I like it.
Although it did get “tiring” in places. *ahem*
I kept the valley to my right as a reference point, and tried taking the first turn-off path going in the general direction of Alta Vista.
It eventually dropped me into the valley floor about ten minutes away from where I had hoped to wind up. Still, I was encouraged by my progress–I had avoided the dreaded loop leading me back from whence I’d started.

So this morning I headed out once more from Rizal Extension full of confidence–now it was just a process of elimination. I would take a different trail going in the general direction of Alta Vista. I mean, there are only so many options. Eventually I’ll find the right one. Alas, instead I wound up lost. And worse, the trail I was on came to an abrupt dead end. I started to blaze my own path up the mountain, but after a few minutes thought better of it. It was tough going and the footing was very unsure. Discretion prevailed and I retreated.

Found another path but had absolutely no sense of where I might be. And after a while it led me to, you guessed it, Rizal Extension. Damn it!

I didn’t see any one’s or two’s passing either…

In non-walk related news, I’ve mentioned that I’m trying to recapture my past glory at darts, such as it was. That means practicing at home on a daily basis and taking my game a little more seriously. I’ve also rejoined the Friday afternoon dart league and I made my debut yesterday.

I’m playing for the Lagoon team out of Baloy beach. We kicked off the season successfully...

After league, I dropped into Sit-n-Bull restaurant for an early dinner.

They had a french dip sandwich on the menu. It’s one of my favorites but you just don’t see those much anymore, so I of course gave it a try. The sandwich itself was quite tasty, but the au jus sauce was more like gravy. Glad to have had one again, but Arby’s is still better overall. No Arby’s here in the Philippines though, so you take what you can get…

Later I played in the Alley Cats Friday night tourney and managed a second place finish. Despite the home practice, my darts are still way too inconsistent. I’m hitting my outs with my regularity though, so there’s that.

And finally, I don’t do politics much these days but I do get a good laugh out of some of memes I’m seeing on Facebook lately. Like this:

That gave me a good LOL!

I also enjoyed this one:

Turnabout is fair play, right?

Anyway, it’s all good.


I went to see my doctor. “Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror… I feel like throwing up; What’s wrong with me?” He said, “I don’t know but your eyesight is perfect.”

  1. You read my mind. I saw those memes on Gab and Instapundit. I had wanted to slap them up on my blog, too, but it’s enough to know they’re on display here.

    Good luck solving the puzzle of the local trails.

  2. Since you have come to breaking trail, I don’t think you should be doing this alone.
