Howdy folks! Time for another run and chat. It's pollen time here in PA so I was particularly sniffly on this run. Sorry about that. I was also rather cool which accentuates the sniffles as well. As the title suggests, I have an announcement. Basically I'm......not going to tell you in the show notes. Silly! You'll have to listen to find out. Enjoy!

Howdy folks! As the name states this was a jog from John Rudy county park. This and Brilhardt Station are the two spots on the York Heritage Rail Trail that I start from. Both have their pluses. Neither is particularly close to my house. The run was nice either way. Enjoy!

Howdy folks! Well I'm finally back. I didn't go anywhere but I also neglected to upload all of the recordings I created so I have a bit of a backlog of topics. This makes for a slightly longer episode but it's worth every penny, shilling, peso, franc, euro and pfennig you paid for it. I guarantee it! Enjoy!

Howdy folks!Just a short check in to discuss a purchase of running shoes that should have left the shelves a year or two ago. I found a replacement pair on Amazon so I grabbed them.

Howdy folks! Well this was a nice surprise. Got out for a run on a 50 degree day just minutes before all the forces of nature had a fist fight in my front yard as to who could be more obnoxious. Five minutes after I got back in it rained buckets of water for about 15 minutes then 30 mph winds and 50 mph gusts came through. I lost a 25 ft tree in my front yard that came down and I was watching branches blowing off several other trees. Wasn't boring. Enjoy!

Howdy folks! Well with a title like this I think you know the theme. More snow on the way tomorrow, likely 5", and then some really cold sub-freezing polar stuff for about 3 days. We're expected to thaw out next Friday.....and today is Saturday. Brrr! Still there are some other things happening so let's spend time chatting about that. Enjoy!

Howdy folks! Don't get excited. This episode has nothing to do with Kit Kat Bars, candy or your line in the sand for doing something. It's another throwaway title since the content didn't have an obvious one. This is the first time I'm trying my hands free mike setup while running but if the title makes you hungry....my apologies.

Howdy folks! Today I'm trying out a new hands free microphone. Sadly it's not on a run because the weather, and more importantly my local roads, have not cooperated.

Howdy folks! I made it back. Before you ask, no. This episode has nothing to do with forestry, lumberjacking or the Canadian band Rush. I couldn't come up with a good title so I chose a "throwaway" title in for form of song lyrics. In this case the 1978 Rush song "The Trees". Oddly the episodes with the throwaway titles are often my most uploaded. Let's see if that happens again? Enjoy!
