AUTO-MAINTENANCE WALK

Our truck was due its 3,000 mile oil change, so my wife rode to the auto shoppe with me. We signed the auto-hospital admittance papers, played Frogger while crossing busy Pines Boulevard, and then walked from the mall area all the way to our home via Flamingo Road and Johnson Street.

There were groups of Ibis’ about stabbing their long beaks into the soft ground looking for worms. They made me think of our upcoming breakfast.

Our total shuffling distance was 2.01 miles, our elevation gain was one foot, and our gross time was something like 45 minutes. We spent six un-counted minutes cautiously looking both ways before crossing busy roads and hospital and mall entrance roads. That’s a lot of stopping and starting the Garmin. About the only thing that got tired on this walk was my right index finger.

With the temperature steady at 69 degrees F, it was a lovely walk in our sub-tropical paradise.
