After 15 miles and three days of running and lumbering in heat and humidity, I was stoked when I took the dogs out this morning and felt cooler temps. It felt great to breathe dry(er) air again. Well, at least until Jake dropped a dook. Then things got humid and stank real fast.
The two days of “running” in the heat this week really took it out of me, and I really don’t remember the last time I saw an average heart rate that high; 152 and 145, respectively. Not to mention, the sheer amount of sweat I was putting out was insane. Even Tuesday’s low-key lumber at Halls Lake had me drenched.
When you can wring your “moisture-wicking” clothing out like you just got out of a tepid, Michigan inland lake filled with pickled bologna shit and White Claw piss fresh from the “Lake Life”1loving boaters, you know you’re sweating.

With that, my body said “hell no” to a hike or run today, and instead, I took care of the lawn and did our pre-holiday weekend shopping so as to avoid the masses stocking up on the aforementioned pickled bologna and White Claws. Maybe they should pre-order some antibiotics, too.
I also made up an amazing turkey sandwich for lunch using homemade two-ingredient naan bread. The bread turns out so freaking amazing in just a few minutes. I only make enough for one sandwich, or I would sit around the house eating the bread all day!
Should’ve waited 3 minutes when the cheese got melty. #Cat5Cooking (iPhone pic)

Time to enjoy the rest of my “off day” and give the mutz their second feeding.
Photos: Tufted Titmouse (I LOVE these birds) and the Downy WP were taken today with the Nikon z6.

THE SOILED SOUNDS TRACK OF THE POST
It’s been ages since I listened to anything from The Cribs, and I don’t know why because every time I do, I dig them the most.
The song Glitters Like Gold dates back to 2012’s album, In the Belly of the Brazen Bull, and is great melodic garage rock.
