The Sheltowee Hiker Challenge - Training began today: Election Day 2020

 With 3 miles walked at the local park today, i solidified my wanderlust fears with a self-talk/walk.

I begin the Sheltowee Trace Trail Hiker Challenge on the third weekend in January 2021.  The Sheltowee is a 333 mile trail that goes from just North of Morehead, KY to just across the border South into Tennessee near Rugby.

The goal is to hike about 33 miles on average each of the 11 months with a second hike in October which has 5 weekends in it during the peak of Fall.  

There will be one other hike sometime before June 5th that will help welcome in a spur @13 mile extension to the town of Rugby, TN as the trail expands with the help of dedicated volunteers.

I'm actually excited to have something to do this year and especially excited to be walking again ... as when my plans to hike the A.T. halted, i gained back 45# of unwelcomed blubber to my frame.

So, for now, I will keep the moniker of Kindle McGuinness and To The Trail will continue until it no longer serves me.

*******
I've also been writing with a few thousand people (tens of thousands actually) from around the world on FaceSpace.  One of my mentors, Mr. Mike Dooley, formed a 21 day writing journey that has continued with some spur groups since ... soon i will also be writing with a 21 Angel adventure through the rest of November into December.   I desire to get on a different spiritual plain for this coming year to calm the flux down.  My testosterone has gotten the best of me with all this idleness and no avenue to express the angst. 

What better way than to train for a hike, then hike and journal with my Angels of protection.  At least i believe i have Angels that watch over me ... i will find out for sure.

*****
Stay Safe and Be Well.
I will do the same.
Tally Ho for now!

a 21 day writing journey that could lead to vagabonding

I'm on day 5 of a 21 day journey into a new vocation. 
I'm testing the waters so to speak.

Since my life flipped on May 13th, (a long story that has yet to complete itself), I await to see how my presence will be tied to this mountainside in Eastern Kentucky.  The world is an oyster and a stage.

Once my latest escapades play out, I'm unsure of my purpose thereafter.  This is all fine as I've not known what I've wanted to be when I grow up since I was 8 or 9 years old and not much has changed now that I am almost 60.  I keep testing and tasting life ... life in return reveals my next steps and I enjoy the magic that unfolds with angelic protection.

So to keep this short, my A.T. hike is on hold. 
My body is being ravaged by Shingles at the present moment and I continue to pretend, that my life will never end ... and flowers honestly do not bend in the rainfall ... I've watched.  :)

My musings are leading me to pen two to three works that I cannot google.  One is filled with mentoring and insight while incorporating the pastime of baseball with the help of the genius of Albert Einstein.

A main baseball point of the work is:
When the game comes to you ... you will be ready. 
When the game leaves you ... your life begins and again, you will be ready.  

A tool box of nuggets and I will leave at that for now.

4F to Captain: a leaders guide for anyone age 10 or ever was.

Well, back to my chores of tending two cats, two roombas and two lawns from a mountainside home overlooking the Red River Valley.

I am blessed, joyful and thankful.  And it is so.

in spirit inspiration

Thanks Chris.
A Patched Pirate I be.

Oddly, "Here am i LORD, send me" again sounds norml.

love.

(I concur)

To all the World ... THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks 917-970-2001 and Stephen Colbert

Where's my manners ... let's just call her Nancy

thank you Nancy.  I appreciate what you do.

Nice Work Dude!

Nice to meet you!   
It's a lovely day in the neighborhood ... Don't you agree?

Kindle no more

/The moniker Kindle McGuinness is dead.

If I'm to walk this grand trail ... it will notify me if I'm to be known differently than my birth name.

HYOH.

The end of another dream ... what's next?

The end.

That is where most beginning start.

Quick check to see how fast google notifier notifies y'all that I'm closing up this blog.

Seems, this day and age of free theft of data and schitt,
one has to be aware if they have been compromised.
I think I may have been from a while ago ... online trading training.

I believe I'll be moving to Apple or Mozilla and pay for my protection.  Free is not what it's cracked up to be especially now that I have the "Ins" on the markets.
Odd how it all crashed this past week.

With a house full of microphones, who's to know who's is turned on and when their phones are in the room when they are not.

So with that, it is time to bid good bye.

Kindle is no more.  Starting fires is for someone else to do.
I've even not liked the last few pints of Guinness I've drunk either ... I guess change is the only constant.

A few days of clean up and one email is gone forever.
Soon, I'll have one moniker and it will be mine to control, kindly.

See ya.
Here, there or in the air.

Pete

Done : the rest will have to wait.

Twice now in 140 days I've missed a day.
Making it up sucks.

Others will be getting their wishes, I'll have limited technology use on the trail.

With that, I've been instructed to not hike until it can be paid for with trading.

Delays because of cash ... just like hiking.

With the hassles of technology and my anger towards it all.

My blog ends here until I can get "To the Trail"
