A World On A String

[Jericho Mile]

what? water and stuff? ....i'm sorta disappointed yer not barefoot and wearing only a loincloth to run in!
just my toolkit i carry weighs more than your whole rig!

I have a vest…all kinds of gear…but in summer I hate wearing shirts..so waist belt and handhelds. So used to running with handhelds…feels weird if I don’t.

Still in cutoff board shorts. Pair I wore today has been in my rotation for many years…races…miles and mountains. I wear shorts held together by spray paint until they totally rip out. Hurley shorts with no Velcro crotch…pocket in the back,..cut them short

Today…almost the end of Dog Days of August…calling the Sisterhood fully wired in for the ride.

Next phase will be pruning and reposition tying/untying…as judged prudent..by me father god master of the garden I I I

^ Sister #13 (bottom east corner) showing ill effects from the solid weeks of wetness. Also #9 (bottom west corner) acting out of being too wet…and not in the best garden positioning.

Nothing I can do..beyond.. Sets of Push-ups for them…the weather is in their favor now…they need to work…

…doesn’t mean I don’t wake up at 3 in the morning my mind bind in concern. Of course..yes…but then that’s chatter chimp brain…the actual..the one in charge of the garden..is objective. Like nature. That’s the game. Luck and Skillset? Fate and Discipline? Creation and Destruction? Balance is Power

Do you know how much I’ve always loved the Gila? To be living my lifestyle here…is fucking wild. It’s like you’re camping full time. Place is brutal. It requires blood.

Peekaboo I see you

Hunting down a free range bull. Saw him and his crew from Gomez peak…dropped down almost 1000’ and found them. Angus don’t have horns…generally mellow…but they are fucking huge. I really like cattle.

Flowers along the trail around 7000’

Ripening Juniper berries

Head back down to the ranch now…evening check

That’s the money in grazing allotments. Maybe in the future…the government will move away from the allotments.

I stopped drinking 12 yrs ago. Tired of hangovers. Never had addiction issues with anything…other than…sugar. I’m a heavy sugar addict. All my life.

 

[Jericho Mile]

Javelina on one of the trail cams. Don’t want those around. They’re coming in for the acorns…that are dropping off the Oaks on the property. Hopefully they don’t mess with the old duff I’m using as medium. That would be bad.

I figure they won’t. There are no fresh acorns in it.

 

[SmellyFlorist]

Howzit, thanks for the reply. With regards to the sugar, how are you consuming it? and is it a positive or negative thing? I ask due to the fact my body feels to be slowing down, but my minds speeding up... and the requirements of life becoming more physically demanding as the years pass.... regards

Agave and organic maple syrup. Industry puts sugar in everything though.

I eat clean for the most part. Plant based. The sugar addiction is not a positive thing…yet I’ve learned to manage it. I’ve tried to totally quit it…but I did not feel good…so went back.

56 yrs old. Still upright and going forward. Still able to get up and down the hills. My body is trained by muscle memory at this point. I haven’t had to slow down yet…style wise…but I do start out slower…longer to warm up…grind hills in style…bomb the downs

I sleep a lot too. I love to sleep. Sleep is so important. Sleep Sleep Sleep

Ever hear the band Sleep? Heavy shit

 

[SmellyFlorist]

Howzit, Thanks, im a bit younger than you, but my lower back is playing up. A little bit of sciatica. The strain my back is subjected too is inevitable... Im finding that I need to train, something iv managed to get by without doing previously.
Sleep has being a constant problem, currently drinking 2 tins of light beer[4%] every evening, can fall asleep... but dont stay asleep the entire night. I understand the importance of proper rest....
Whats your daily water consumption like? I do consume lots of glucose rich honey[lots].... do you just drink syrup? lol
No... I have not heard to band Sleep...
