💀☠💀☠💀☠ Blundering

Last evening I gave my younger brother until 10 p.m.to arrive home, else at 10:01 p.m. I would be readying for bed. I am fed up with sitting around waiting for the idiot to haul his drunk ass home. If it is more important for him to be swilling drink somewhere than to be safe at home and watching some shows ─ T.V. series ─ that we follow in common via our Android TV Box (which he cannot operate), then I refuse to participate in his evening.

He cannot have both ─ i.e., late carousing with whomever, and then expect to finally show up here and find me compliantly awaiting his homecoming just to catch an episode of something on T.V.

Anyway, I had some early morning grocery shopping in mind for today at the nearest Save-On-Foods outlet (Google Map) that is possibly less than a mile from here. The store opens at 7 a.m., but I wanted to add some extra distance to the walk ─ I had in mind to rack up at least three miles by the time my outing was done.

And so I went to bed last evening, locking up the house and turning off all of the lights. My eldest stepson was home, but he had retired earlier, evidently because he was facing a 12-hour shift come the morning. His younger brother had gone out shortly after dark, climbing into some red car that was awaiting him outside. And of course, my wife had taken off in the latter half of the afternoon to probably go to wherever it is that she stays in Vancouver for most of her weekends (such is our uninspired marriage).

My cellphone alarm was set for 5 a.m., and it did indeed rouse me from a light slumber when it sounded. 

No sooner was I struggling up from bed when my eldest stepson trundled on upstairs and usurped the bathroom in order to do his best to befoul the atmosphere in there for me. This also postponed my efforts to groom my disarrayed goatee and moustache, for the whole would need trimming and brushing before I could ever go public.

Nevertheless, I cannot blame him for me not getting away until 6 a.m. ─ I am great at passing time here at my computer. And he actually left for work quite promptly after he vacated the bathroom.

When I was finally on my way beneath overcast sky, my walk was going to be determined by the need to deposit my brother's monthly expenses reconciliation cheque that I believe he gave me last Sunday ─ I would be doing the deposit at an outdoor ATM at the Coast Capital Savings credit union headquarters (Google Map), which is practically a neighbour of where I would later be shopping.  

Along the way to do that deposit of the $317 (and change) cheque, I stopped in at an elementary school playground to do two sets of pull-ups on two of the gymnastics-style rings that are a feature there for the older kids. 

I am still not my former self, but I managed three pull-ups on the loose rings in the first set, and about 30 seconds later managed to squeeze out two pull-ups in the second set. When weighing myself naked, I have still not managed to drop under 190 pounds at a height of not quite five feet and 11 inches, so fully clothed as I was this morning I am sure that I would weigh over 195 pounds. And I am 72 years old. 

A very few months back, I could not expect to be able to perform even one pull-up. My bout of "COVID pneumonia" in October that put me in hospital for just over 11 days devastated me physically, dissolving away much of my muscle.

As for my overall walk, I may have put in as much as five miles if I stretch the estimate. I was to get carried away on a whim when I found myself tempted by the trail that you can see at the bottom right corner of the intersection at 140th Street & 100th Avenue on this Google Map. If I remember correctly, the trail right there was identified as Quibble Creek Trail.

I was to follow it along to Huckleberry Trail, and then I turned right onto that trail. That was my route until I finally came out onto Green Timbers Way where it almost ends at 96th Avenue (Google Map).

I considered trekking along the walkway that follows alongside 96th Avenue to get me back to Fraser Highway, but unseen on the map at that point where Green Timbers Way ends at 96th Avenue is yet another trail or series of trails by which one can actually reach the development that prominently features the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre (Google Map). 

So I crossed through there, jaywalked across 140th Street, and then followed Fraser Highway back to George Junction (Google Map) and Save-On-Foods where I did my shopping.

By the time that I was back home I expect that it was not too far beyond 8 a.m.; and I bore a fair load from the store such that the walk had come to be posing quite the challenge, I must say. I felt as if I had walked far more than just four miles.

Maybe I did.

I returned to bed around 8:30 a.m. for something over an hour, I suppose. By then my brother was downstairs and working his way through the Sunday morning edition of The Province that I subscribe to. I fixed up my day's first instant coffee, and soon my brother and I were set for some T.V. as would be provided by our Android TV Box.

I led us off with Odessa Orlewicz's video from yesterday: Interview With James Topp Of Canada Marches As He Gets Close To Ottawa!

The video was a minute under 1½ hours in duration:

I Interview hero soldier/veteran James Topp who has been WALKING from British Columbia across Canada and will soon be arriving in Ottawa where some Members of Parliament will be meeting with him to discuss the tyranny in Canada. James is walking across Canada as a soldier/veteran to plead with the Trudeau government to end the tyrannical mandates...all of them. James spoke out while in uniform so the Trudeau government went after him through his employers. He refused to stop speaking out with the truth so he has very predictably lost his job. There will be a massive celebration in Ottawa July 1 with the thousands of supporters of James/ canadamarches.ca

Joining us will also be well known podcasters Laura-Lynn Thompson & Grizzly Patriot Mark with freedom fighter Sean Taylor (who spoke out as a hospital nurse to the lies of the media) who are also doing a tour together currently that will end in Ottawa to greet James! A Canadian patriot packed show :)  

Laura-Lynn did not happen to be participating in that latter portion of the show that followed the interview with James Topp, so they really ought to delete that claim.

Anyway, my brother and I only had time for one further video, so I tuned in a May 22 upload to Rumble that just topped an hour by a minute: Patrick M. Wood - Children's Health Defence Exclusives.

I see that the video was originally taped on May 16, according to its link at CHD.TV.

There does not seem to be a description available for the video, but I can tell you that Patrick Wood is an authority on Technocracy, one of the former names for the 'movement' now in full swing to take over our world.

I must say that poor Patrick looks considerably older than I remember of him when last I saw him a number of months ago.

I regret to say that I have to halt blogging for today ─ I got carried away otherwise this afternoon, barely escaping. And now it is after 8 p.m.

At least I never missed out on any sunning ─ the day remained overcast, and I thought that I even heard it raining at one point.
