It’s just about the only kind of work I do these days. Unless you count the heavy lifting I do in the bars at night. It’s a tough life but there’s no point in complaining about it. A person should always strive to do their best at whatever it is they are doing.
Here’s a quick recap of the 24 hours or so since my last post.
Walked back home, put the pie in the fridge, and took my daily hour-long nap. Then I set about doing my afternoon hike. I decided to check out the long version of Monday’s Hash trail.
I was glad I did this portion of Demolition Derby’s trail. It was a path I’d never tried before and I like a new adventure. I was especially thankful he had marked the trail so well, otherwise, I’d have been lost in the tall grass.
The trail came back down into Marion Hills and I opted to head back home from there. I’ll save the final portion of Derby’s work for another day.
Showered up, took my afternoon meds and recorded my health stats (BP 121/71; resting heart rate 62; weight 204.8). Then I hoofed back out to Captain’s Arms to begin hefting those bottles of San Mig Zero and emptying their contents into my mouth. Having quenched a 25,000 step thirst, I walked up the highway to Mango’s where I enjoyed a grilled pork chop dinner. Best pork chops in town!
With my appetite satiated, I crossed the street and gave “mama”, a homeless woman I look after, her 100 pesos daily stipend. She always blows me a kiss and says she loves me. Well, at least I know she doesn’t have to sleep on her cardboard box with an empty stomach.
I made my final stop of the night at Queen Victoria where I enjoyed a couple more Zeros and watched a dart tourney in progress. Walked back home and gave a couple of neighborhood stray dogs my leftovers from dinner.
Once home, I treated myself to a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie, surfed the ‘net, then hit the sack at around 10 p.m. as usual. Woke up at 5:00, a little earlier than normal and got busy with my morning routine:
A cup of coffee and spending time with my favorite blogs and catching up on the news of the world.
Then the boys are ready for their morning walk, a 30-minute trek. Back home and today I’m not going out for breakfast. Instead, me and Betty Crocker bake up a batch of blueberry muffins. Yum. I have a 9:00 a.m. appointment to meet up with Scott and Jim for a hike in Subic town.
After the 8K walk, we stopped by the Hunter’s Inn, one of our Hash venues, for some liquid refreshment and lunch. The cook hadn’t arrived as yet, so we doubled down on the liquid refreshment.
Back home and sent my son birthday greetings on Facebook.
Took a nap, took a shower, ate the last of my leftover pulled pork and a slice of cheesecake. And then I sat down to share my day with you via this post on LTG. Thanks for joining me!
It’s all in a day’s work.
I really like the shot of the two dogs and the “river runs through it” pic.
No “jawbone of an ass” jokes, eh?
I actually don’t know any jawbone of an ass jokes. 🙁
Be careful. I heard that goat had eaten hot to Trot’s cheesecake…
Dan, NOW you tell me. They’ll probably blame it on the virus…
