Small world
When I went and did some Long Champs setting, as I drove away from Bishop Lake I saw a red Taurus with a yellow kayak. Given that I know one person who has a red Taurus and a yellow kayak, I made a note to eventually ask him if he had played hooky on that same work day, and today I finally confirmed that it was him. Given that I live 20 miles away and him more like 35, and that we only had a 2-3 minute window of time to be on the same stretch of Bishop Lake Road, that is a crazy small world or interesting set of coincidences that conspire to put us both in that location at the same time.
I double check one location, or don't double check one location....doesn't overlap. He stops for gas on the way...

Deferred "long" run from the weekend @ Bird Hills.
Water looked high:
Kuebler had a burn:
Hilltop climb looks great. Fond memories of some tape here a long time ago:
Someone raised their game on trying to discourage the track crossing from Barton/Bandemer parking:
But the locals will not be stopped, not by big concrete blocks nor the ditch behind them:

Experimenting with a dual ad stream for Holly: Half thrown to trail runners and hikers in a 20 mile radius of Clarkston. Half thrown to the 1900 fans and their friends. The latter is also going with a slideshow from my vetting trip - curious if that drums up more interest than a single static pic.

I really wanted to try for a pie - nearby 5k Turkey Trot pays two deep in each 10 year per gender age bracket. 2017 M40 was won with just 25:xx (it's really small, like 100 people), and I thought I could manage 24:xx. But I worried about too much pounding (it's all paved) so soon in my comeback, and conferring with Coach A also had her at that conclusion, so instead, a sleepy, wind-swept jog around the block, past the arson-burned barn and past the replacement trailer for the one taken by tornado.

Slightly cheap podium, as I when I paid Clint I saw that Igor was 68:xx and Tom was 67:xx, so I knew what to push for, especially on the final 3rd.
Overshot #3 low (should have taken trail). +20s? Misread bend at #4 (overshot, saw end of marsh). +20? Biggest gaffe was thinking road to #16 might work, but I couldn't push it hard enough and instead of beating Alex to bag by 30 s if I had just taken the trail, I was maybe 20 s back.
Then surprisingly slow to 18, although I had to walk that trail (to prevent overrev so I could crush finish), also I tumbled crossing to the other trail.
Left it all out into finish, curious to see pace.
Fun times! Hopefully leg feels good tomorrow. If I can push this hard in eight weeks, I'll have more fun at GNC than I have before!

Highly tempted to try installing a new battery ($20) into the old Fenix 1. Cheapest return to strap based HR and it has a locking feature so you don't inadvertently shut it off mid run. Youtube looked easy enough, just two little solder things that would be the trickiest bit of it. FR225 is convenient since its non gps time is way better, but its HR is often fictional and it's super easy to shut off.

HUGE BREAK to remove my dishwasher from the cabinet area, and reconnect it so it can function in the middle of my kitchen otherwise the warranty people absolutely cannot assess it, also to take Harvs to school, which was slightly confounded by getting him all cinched up in his car seat at which time he promptly spit up on himself, necessitating a lap upstairs for a new outfit, although thankfully he was not super squirmy for that outfit, unlike the one he just soiled that was no easy task to put on him, so it only took a few minutes for the later wardrobe change.
I guess the LG warranty procedure if you aren't handy:
* Hire handyman to remove dishwasher. I imagine it's a $100 to get someone to show up at your house?
* LG service bothers to return calls / show up in definitely no more than 10 days
* Hire handyman to reinstall dishwasher. I imagine it's $100 to get someone to show up at your house?
Thankfully work is flexible, otherwise if you charge yourself for each day off at your normal vacation rate, you are quickly over the cost of a stupid new dishwasher, installed (and that would probably have a similar day off, making it still ahead....but I am 75% sure the LG service contractor will not have the part that's wrong, so they'll have to order and come back....)

My office building (1200 people?) is having a "Winter Wonderland" where you can show off your home business (pampered chef, avon, crafty business, food business, "informational"...) It's only $25 for a table, one wonders if a SMOC table would generate 2.5 starts worth of interest from the traffic.

Went to a non critical one and received a text "gate probably won't be open". But it was open, and I parked on the inside of it, so maybe I shouldn't, so I went and moved my car outside of the gate. It would ultimately have been fine, as gate was still open when I returned.

Quick survey of Ken's high priority streamer locations. A lot of nice terrain, although superstars will not have the time to avoid all stray prickers, so gaiters recommended. One missing, so need to QR to confirm we were both thinking of the same thing. Feature was subtle and it's in an area where it's all flattish and undulating, so harder to read. There's a spot in Bishop with similar hip high does it make it, does it not type stuff, curious what Igor will think after he travels through.

Fun, joy-of-running-in-woods course from Jess at Waterloo out of the cabin area.
Argh, watch decided to not locate satellites for some time, must start priming it on the drive or something. :|
I initially thought I'd take more trails, but the woods were super fast everywhere.
A couple mistakes:
Overshot 5. Just was too blind looking ahead that I didn't notice I was slightly right, but paused when I saw the distant hill too close. 30 m?
Turned off way too early for 8. Lost track of distance covered, so jumped off on a very low hill instead of the correct taller hill. Thankfully managed to manage the recovery and more or less made good progress there.
Then bungled the exit to #9, but it worked out, somewhat less climb-y, just a bit confusing. Always check trail direction! Always!
Oddly was able to run almost the whole thing, just a few hesitations. Happy with that, especially as last night was thrice interrupted sleeping for a little sad man.

Not enough running leading up to this. Fun maze but I suffered repeated overrevs, which meant walking on some of the exit based routes nooo. Some perplexing choices for stay in maze vs via exits.
One wonders if we could go the day after they close, and open up just a half dozen very short hops to turn it into a route choice bonanza.

Oh, we are allowed calculators as long as they won't do the specific frequency response plots, so I went into the garage and dug up my TI-85 from, as best as I can guess, possibly 1992 and not later than 1995, and after I threw in some fresh batteries, it works, and even does the one matrix trick that might be handy. Woo woo
