The route wasn’t in bad shape, but I just couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to push very hard.
Uh-huh. Right. Pull the other one, Mr. Legs-from-the-neck-down . . .
Seriously though, Bob, congrats. Your streak is still intact despite the gremlins working overtime this round. Funny how something as mundane as a dead battery can tilt your whole perspective for the day. Then Murphy jumps in for the rest of the hike. Remember, though - a bad day hiking is better than a good day at work! Oh yeah, that's right - you don't have that whole work-thingy going on for comparative analysis . . .
Hopefully next week will be better. How many more till you score the SPS Masters Emblem?
