Worked, so far.

A little food and then sleep.  I can't be sure how long I slept because I can't remember when I went in.  I woke somewhere between 7:00 and 8:00.  I have too many clocks that are off, and in different ways.  That's a project for soon.  I don't mind having the alarm an half hour early, if it has slid to 20~24 minutes off.  Most of my other clocks are supposed to be 15 minutes off, but they have slid to... something else.  Most of my three wrist watches are about where most of my clocks are, except the one I am wearing I see... It's an hour off to boot.  Then the main clock in the living room is an hour and an half, to two hours, slow.  Can't get a fix on time.  Sometimes because my brain isn't working, sometimes because every clock is off, not in an easy to figure way.

A shower, a bit of air drying, then I'll see.  Definitely in to town to shop.  But I might make it to the trail.  I might even take the longer cut.  I just don't know right at this moment.  I did check the pack weight.  With all, save the clothes I'll be wearing, and boots, it tips at just over 57 pounds.  I'll go with that for today.  Though I may pull some gear out, see where I can lighten, and I may leave one item at home right now.  A long trip will also require more food, though the dehydrator will help there.  From what I have seen, with the dehydrator and some other things, a two week supply of food should hit in at about 15 pounds.  I am guessing, with a little bit of finagling, I should be able to clear that much weight.  Though there are other items I would also be taking on a longer journey.

Yeah, a shower, some music, and I'll see if I can hit the trail.  This time I have water right in the system.  But this is about double the weight I took last time.  I'm not, if I can get out, expecting to be able to do the full run.  Who knows though, maybe.  Probably just back to the two mile round trip.  Not sure I'll be able to shop after, either.  We'll see.  Later.

Showered and half dressed.  It's my feet I like to let air dry... and hair.  I will definitely be going into town.  And, if nothing else, I will at least be loading my pack.  I'll see when I get to the cutoff whether a hike is in the cards or not.  Looking plausible.  An half hour to dry, then I'll finish dressing, pack up, and head out.

Another food item I am considering getting in on is fermented vegetables.  I am simply trying to learn as many old tech food preps as possible.  Tinkering with this and that, new and old, to sort out what is doable, the process really, so that I might be able to use whatever is on hand to stretch and preserve.  When life is lean, you have to learn to live as fat off the lean as possible.  So...  Not this month, or next, probably not until winter, but I plan on buying a couple of crocks.  Yeah, sure, you can do it without those.  And you will need something to transfer that into anyway, when it is done...  Hmm... might look around for more quart and half gallon glass jars while I'm looking for a razor... if shopping, or that shopping, gets done today.  It's on the list, anyway. 

As I said, it's not all about fitness.  That is just one small part of it, if a crucial one.  Food, eating, fitness, skills... a mix of needs and abilities that will make me valuable to anyone who might be able to teach me what they know, perhaps tolerating my presents for periods of time.  If you have no gold, become worth more than gold.  Minor medical training and an ham license are still in need.  For now, this.  Later.
