Friday we got 23.3 miles with 45,949 steps...items found, two useful bungee cords, one hitch pin clip and a pink cell phone...that stretch of road is a little cleaner as I decided to start picking up trash along the way, I bought one of those "grabbers" and started picking, not a good idea to give a guy with serious "OCD's" a grabber, an empty trash bag and say "go pick stuff up",ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!...so what did I do, filled up one grocery bag with crushed cans and bottles and vowed to get a bigger bag tomorrow!!!...weather is fine, gentle breeze, clear skies, bordering on hot...saw several deer and a couple of pronghorn antelope, not as much road-kill on this stretch of road...I did start the day out breaking in new shoes, old ones are down to their last few days so I have nine brand new pairs that have to get broken in...tomorrow will see us get to Roundup and prepare to move Sunday...cheers!!!
Yes he did pick up trash and then today he took a HUGE bag and filled it up . When he called me up he said to come to the mail box with the trash bag and the grabber. Yes, it was full! Too much for him to continue carrying LOL. Guess what, on Monday I am going to do the same. Thing and when I get to pick up his bag and grabber, then I will start cleaning up MY waiting areas with the same grabber. If I do not fill it at the first location. Why I will just carry it along and clean up each waiting place until my bag is full too!
