Walking Milestones in November

I tried to get in a longer walk Wednesday just because I might not get in my usual walk Thursday, even though I usually don’t celebrate Turkey Day in support of the indigenous folks who’ve been abused by the caucasians in America.

Anyway, here’s a few if my accomplishments today.

As you can see, I kept busy today, the 25,368 steps is not only a November best, but the best over 10 years. Here’s the proof:

Wednesday’s record beat what’s now second place by quite a bit. And number 2 only happened a week ago. My right leg was acting up during my hour and a half walk. The sciatica seems to be returning, maybe the cold weather?

Not Really “Personal”

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

My most expensive purchase besides cars and houses has to be my Moog Model D, original output. Its was probably built around 1979-80. I got it around 2008, and paid, I think around $4000-4400 for it. Its somewhat defective, as the filter doesn’t work the way it should, but I like the effects it causes, so I’ve never had it fixed. If I want the OG sound, I have two Model D soft synths that replicate the “ correct” sound. But soft synths can’t really replicate the feel of a real piece of hardware.
