And the neighborhood is very interesting. Yesterday I took an hour or so to explore where an event would be. Totally missed it, but walked the furthest I have since May. Successfully found it with the help of google and was able to attend.
Today, I was treated to the sight of the various levels of progress on a huge neighborhood water project. I am so grateful my city is investing in this essential and not-glamorous infrastructure. If I’m successful at adding photos, the first one is the pile of old pipes that caught my eye in July; the second one is from today. We were without water service for about 13 hours on Wednesday (if they shut off when they said they would-we weren’t home at the start), longer than planned/anticipated because they “hit a snag”. I had to wonder if the second photo might have been “the snag”. Wish me luck!
Wow that pipe really *does* look like it needed replacing!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about tracking miles with GPS; I have MapMyFitness on my phone for that, just in case I want to wander.
Eventually I may get a Garmin Thing that tracks more than steps. At that point I won’t need MapMyFitness anymore 😉
Success! Photos uploaded.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on making it to 270 miles by mid-November... you have a good chance of making 300!
That is some pipe there.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you will make that 300goal. You've got this!
First of all, congrats on your Mars badge! Good work.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like that pipe could have been the snag! Holy moley! Good luck with that project . . . hope it gets finished sooner than later!
Keep on trying. THAT'S Most important.

Wow! That's some snag!!
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith...you'll make that 300. ❤️
Yup, lots of pipe that were put in at the beginning of the 1900s are in great need of replacing or repairing and there are lots of snags. You got this though. Those badges are great!
ReplyDeleteOld pipes (around 100+ years in neighborhoods established before our city's growth exploded) are making their conditions known often in these parts -- both the water and sewer lines. In those 100+ years the population has gone from around 35K to right under 2M.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteI like to see that kind of progress!
Friend me on RunKeeper if you need a cheerleader!
