Waiting for 3pm meeting at MCSB. Poked around in the bank neighborhood, namely along the top of the deep, wide ravine that is an old river bed from another age. Time and distance from history on the 310, a seek and one will find approach for time being.

After MCSB meeting - chilly, grey and pleasant enough again.

Event: NEOC/WCOC: Cemetery Hill
 

BHS & CHS tracks, walk & run alt. sections. Brisk again.

Putney Pond visit. Bright, chill - perfect April day. Did not find pond at first, finally a trail & then revisited interconnecting fields. Reminded myself of end of Hunter Dr. & the peculiar lot that seems to have had some prior unique history - tennis court remnant and stone pillars at drive entrance but no big house.

Odd how this visit repeated last time without my really recalling what was coming ahead.

Used the old 305 which proved a surprise. Took it from the drawer to remove the bottom to begin process of getting a new battery, and maybe having a second watch. Watch popped on - took a look at battery charge which said about full although it had sat in a drawer for months (& was replaced best I can recall for a weak/old battery). It lasted the visit to Putney. At home, it was very hard to get it to parse, only w/ Safari (but that was not a surprise) but it froze Safari first about 3 times, refused to parse. finally i tried a different charging cradle & it worked. Had 310 on the other wrist & 305 was slower to catch sats & so a bit less on distance.

From house to/up OJR to an SVT but not to the power line intersection. Finally got to the PL, dodging wet areas/swamps and finally, finally to Dicandra Dr., then across to WH and home thru the woods.

Misplaced or lost the ANT stick for time being so g-maps approximation it is. Chilly/breezy but fine in woods. 310Xt had this wander for 6.00mi so this is a good reproduction.

Encountered this encampment today. Looked like a one day stand, reachable by 4 WD. Also this solar light on a tree opposite. I need to return for some scavenging/recycling. How stupid, simple, wasteful people can be.

At Y after work, hard rain but not cold but didn't care to run in it. I saw plenty of youngsters out & about, including a Concord girls' XC team, some in shorts, none with head cover, running thru town.

Finally got plane tickets for Sweden via the UK and Oslo. Tickets add concrete to plans.

Y after running did not pan out. Something off radar zapped energy.
Two sub-10 deg days behind, rain ahead. From blue to gray today
which added some appeal to being inside. But got the last burn piled done.

Rest day - work plus BOS mtg plus mostly poor sleep. AM was too hurried & so sampled the BHS fields for skate on the way home but by 2:30, it was too late even in what passed for shade. Surprised to see that the track was completely clear of snow by then, with the T not getting much above 30F. Bright blue & windy fun anyway.
