Salutations™!!

I’ve written a couple other blog posts today so I decided to exercise my creative license and repost a video I saw. I’m not posting this as a knock or an endorsement for either candidate, I just found it funny. I loved the Muppets so it’s an homage. Also, I’m not mocking Trump anymore than anyone else, just, again, I found this funny in actual humor, not in malice. That’s all. It’s a shame one has to even put a disclaimer as such on here. Just let humor be, peeps. Let it be.

Have a great evening, see you tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

I’m looking at the weather forecast, or should I say forecasts, and notice that they’re not all on the same page. Because I’m looking forward to what the weather is for tomorrow, I looked to see what the local NBC, CBS and Fox stations said the weather was predicted to be. I’m not liking it. Even if they’re not on the same page, none of it looks good. It looks like there will be scattered thunderstorms all over the place tomorrow from about 9pm tonight on through. In fact, the whole week has some sort of chance of rain. But, why am I annoyed by this?

Well, it’s two things. I’ve gotten used to doing my Saturday walks and I was thinking that I may attempt some filming to get the web series going on The Man Who Walked the Town. We

haven’t chosen the neighborhood yet, but I’m sure it’s someplace that I’ve already been so we can use it as practice. I hate being wet, so, if it’s raining, I’m probably not going to go out in it, willingly. The GoPro (thank you Omega Sports) is in a waterproof case, so I’m not worried about that, but I don’t like being wet; I worry about that!

The other thing that I hope it doesn’t rain for is the second of the Vagabond Saints Society’s Best of Talking Heads summer tour. It will be at RayLen Vineyards in Mocksville/Advance/Bermuda Run (it sits right on a bit of the Bermuda Run Triangle) and it’s outside. There’s a shed but, really, if it’s raining who’s going to go to that? I don’t know that anyone will. I don’t know that I want to if it’s raining. Especially with thunderstorms. If it were just rain, maybe. I don’t know. So, if it’s not raining, come on out to RayLen, it’s their “Full Moon Festival” that day. You can find directions by visiting their website HERE.

So, again, here’s hoping that the weather goes along with my plans. If not, then we’ll find something else to do, but I hope it doesn’t come to that. I was looking forward to the second accomplishing of my “10k by 10a” and starting the filming process. So, rain, rain go away! Far away!

Until tomorrow (and hoping for a dry-ish one), same blog channel…
Scorp out!

The alarm went off at 5:20am. Ugh. I didn’t sleep well last night, even though I was in bed by 11:20pm. I woke up at 2:59am with what I can only figure was heartburn. I don’t have heartburn often so I am guessing. Had a hard time going back to sleep, but I did. Then it was the alarm.

I don’t usually get up this early but this morning, well I did. Showered, shaved and dressed. I had to be downtown at 6am. I was there at 6:04am. Luckily, the person I was meeting, Chad Nance, was later than me by about 3 minutes. What in the honey-baked Hades were we doing up so early? Well, Dear Reader, I’ll tell you…

Chad and I were working on a project. A project that I’ve been talking about for a while, now. All my talk about getting sponsorships from Omega Sports, Mary’s Gourmet Diner, Atelier on Trade and Hoots Roller Bar & Beer Company, is finally going to pay off for them (and me). Chad and I were filming the intro to the web video series The Man Who Walked the Town. So, once Chad has it edited down to fit the intro VO/music that I made, that will be the final piece; the last element needed.

It was short and chopped up walks but I was sweating and had over 7000 steps before 8am. That’s not bad, huh? That was 7x the steps I took all day yesterday. Well, almost. I had about 1500 or so when it was all said and done. Okay, so it was 4x and some change, but still… I should have 10,000 before the day is up and I plan doing it all again tomorrow, if The BCPF is up to it. She’s a little under the weather today. But, it’s supposed to be a sweltering day tomorrow so we’re going to get up early. We’ll probably do the walk before we go to Mary’s and Atelier. Let that be our early reward and then head to Hoot’s afterwards for the “hop pops,” right?

Anywhat! I’m excited about the video series almost ready to go. I’ll be asking for recommendations and requests and I’ll be recruiting people to walk with me/us (plus The BCPF) to add to the enjoyment of walking  and exploring all this town has to offer. I’ll keep you posted as we get nearer! Get to steppin’! (as The Man Who Walked the Town would say).

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
