The morning started out dark, foggy, cloudy, breezy and cold – 46 degrees F. The gate out of the compound was closed until 6:40 AM. So I had to walk on the treadmill in the exercise room. The lower atmosphere was cloudy, slight breeze and foggy, visibility was reduced to 1/2 mile. I could barely see the flood lights for the autonomous car company. The rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, while Labrona and family were grazing by the fence near the basketball court. As the morning progressed, the sky brightened and all I could see was gray fog and clouds and visibility was down to a few hundred feet. The birds were perched on the roof and fences, they feasted on food that the inmates discarded on the ground. They made an announcement that there will be an 8:00 AM fog count. Completed walking 6 miles at 7:50 AM, in 1 hour 14 minutes and 40 seconds. Average walking times were: 12 minutes and 26 seconds per mile or 2 minutes and 5 seconds per lap. Emergency fog count at 8:00 AM. Stretched and split stretched after the count. It was cold and breezy, the breeze made it felt colder. Talked to Doris at 9:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. It was cold and raining in Pinole. Even the dogs are staying in their dog house to keep dry and warm. They only came out for food and water. Francis came by the house to pick up his comforter. The Warriors are playing the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at 5:00 PM. I will have a relaxing day and catch up on my reading and EBRR homework. Lunch was served at 9:30 AM. Luncheon menu: nachos, cheese, corn, beans, rice, apple and water. Showered and changed to casual clothes at 10:30 AM. Checked email from Doris at 11:00 AM: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8719 steps, 15.6 inches step length and symmetry was 7.9%. Yesterday was the 321st consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. She hope the weather clears up so she could clean the yard and do some yard work. She texted Eric about the Tax Liabilities issues. She will stay home and walk indoors. The weather is wet and cold, even the dogs stay in their dog house to stay dry and keep warm. The squirrels and birds were out in droves after lunch and were feasting on food discarded by the inmates. Went to library to work on my EBRR homework. Watched some College Football Playoff in the afternoon. Census count at 3:30 PM. Dinner menu: cheesy chicken, bun, pasta, carrots and water. The birds and squirrels were waiting for food from the inmates and feasted on the food left by the inmates. The sun never came out today is was a gray foggy and cloudy day. The autonomous car company turned on their flood lights an facilities lights at 4:00 PM. Walked a little around the basketball court. Census count at 7:00 PM. Census count at 8:00 PM. Cleaned up at 9:00 PM. Final census count at 9:30 PM. Went to bed at 10:00 PM.
Today was a good relaxing day: Doris is well and rested. She walked 8719 Steps, 15.6 inches step length and symmetry was 7.9%. Yesterday was the 321st consecutive days she closed the ring on her iPhone. Walked six miles, stretched and split stretched. Lazy day for me.
