Not everyday, but many days, UAC team members deal with unexpected and unwelcome losses.
I thank each of you who reach out and care for others!

A very busy day but a good one. Morning gym session and evening Jiu Jitsu class for exercise. All food logged and under budget.
Craziest part of the day (except for the class where I voluntarily let my friends try to choke me) was force feeding our stranded sea snake. Not the first one we have dealt with but always an interesting animal. It’s weird to have visitors in the complex again. Gotta put on the happy conversational face in public areas again (of course its a being the mask face these days).8 -

No passes so far, but again, I changed the settings to maintainance.
After 30 min of leisurely 🚴♀️ w my kid (to take him to places he needed to be), 45 min of 🚶♀️w hubs and a 40 min light cardio workout, I am on plus, but not so much 🤷♀️ (150 cal, roughly). However, not good enough a reason to use up a pass. 😃6 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes even though today was vakay day one I got up early and did my 1.5 hour walk - very glad I did the rest of the day was spent driving in the car!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes - regrettably I had a dunkin donut mocha drink at a rest stop because the main place where I could’ve gotten a lite version was closed... I’ve given up liquid calories and diet sodas - but wanted the caffeine to finish the drive. I should’ve bought a plain tea - this was so heavy and calorie rich it actually sat like a brick ugh. Fortunately still within the calories because we ate light on the road but never again bleeech.

It was a rainy, cold day today. Yesterday I made the chicken soup from the October 5 blog of fall soup recipes. It was so easy to make (Crockpot) and so good. We had it last night and then again today. I usually stick to the same meals but I love fall soup and it looked interesting. I’m going to try the apple butternut squash one next. I love butternut squash soup.

Exercise minimal - walking - taking care of Buddy aka Bugsy Boy.
Baked some rolls. That pushes me up to the limit. I ate 700 cal of those. Hey that is tracking.
Kind of lamenting the summer that got away.
Didn't get my usual travel and camping.
Got two excursions with my wife and one solo.
Wife - she don't like to cross state lines.
That causes her to have to quarantine.
That is cuz she might have school kids that are medically fragile.
But I went across that state line.
I did a pretty good job at staying away from pretty much everybody.
Didn't go to the beer store or convenience store or gas station.
Thought I could do an excursion and curtail any sort of interaction.
But life is weirder than that.
So camping is this weird thing with me.
I got a place I go to kind of by Rico.
I think that is Barlow Creek right there.
That name has got a sort of hillbilly connotation to it.
Nevermind that.
I get there it is raining.
I don't mind rain, actually I kind of like it.
I like listening to it on my tent when I am all nestled in there snug and dry on my air mattresses and in my sleeping bags.
I don't like setting up in the rain though.
That doesn't work. Inside of the tent gets wet. You know how it is.
So I sit in the car for a while and think about back tracking to a place where it wasn't raining.
But procrastination paid off.
It quit raining.
So I set up.
Not too much after that a scrabbly old truck pulls along side my camp and a grizzled old guy rolls down the window. We chat some.
He asks if I mind if he pull in and camp by me.
No. I don't mind.
The forest is kind of full. Archery season open in two days so camping is like that. He ain't no kind of party animal so I figure it for ok.
He is a cowboy. He ain't got no tent. He has a cot that he covers up with a tarp and an old shower curtain.
I don't think much of it. I camped like that before.
But I figured this out. He put his cot right by his truck. From his truck he has a rope hanging down that he can reach from his cot. He need that rope to pull himself up out of bed.
I don't think about it too much but this is a guy that wants to go camping but know better than to go camping by himself. I won't elaborate on that much.
He is not really much of a hand for fetching firewood either. He has kind of a limited range. But that is alright.
I build us a fire to sit around.
He tells me his life story a couple of times. That got me to wondering about people I knew that were more than a little forgetful. They could remember their life story but they couldn't remember if they already told it to you twice. I don't mean to be to jovial about that.
I was camping with a guy that didn't have much camping left in him. I meant to honor that somehow.
His life story went all over the place and I don't doubt the veracity of any of it.
He was a cowboy, a rodeo guy, a hunter a developer of ranches, and a movie star. I play that movie star item up more than he did but I guess that is the item that impressed me the most.
He was John Kinney in "Young Guns." He taught all of those A-list guys in that movie how to ride horse. He provided the horses. He had all kinds of stories about movie guys that he hung out with. He did movies other than "Young Guns." I ain't going to try and remember and quote all of what he said.
He still has a ranch but I think he is having trouble with it. I think he was kind of fishing around as to whether he could draw me into it.
But I end up going to bed at almost a reasonable hour.
I woke up kind of early and seen his cot over there. I wondered how he fared. Maybe worried a little bit.
But I had a cold breakfast and went for maybe a thousand calorie bike ride or so. Went back. He was up and about wanting to cook us lunch. He made some kind of goolash that I was a little bit scared of. Had eggs in it. Don't know if he cooked it all the way hot.
The weather was predicted to be nice for days on end for after when that rain was done.
So campfire again and maybe third telling of life story afterwards went to bed in my tent.
I am awakened by rain. It is for real raining. I worry about that guy under his tarp and shower curtain. I get up and put on my raincoat and rain hat, go out there.
He is up mutzing with his cot and stuff. Thing I know about that kind of a rig is that you can't get up without getting everything wet. You get what I mean?
But I knew he was soaking wet and it was a rain that had snowflakes in it. I told him he could bunk in my tent. I had extra stuff that was dry. Extra air mattress, extra sleeping bag.
I don't know. He wasn't interested in that idea. Maybe he thought I was weird. I think it possible that he knew he couldn't get up from the ground or from on an air mattress. Didn't want to put me to the task of having to pick him up. Especially for as often as an old man has to get up in the night.
But he had his truck right there. He could sit in it and run the motor. Sometimes a cowboy will do that.
But yeah, the long story about me thinking I could go on an excursion and not have any human interaction that would or might somehow necessitate quarantine.
If I had memoirs that is a story I would put in them. I would probably be a little more detailed though.
