00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:17.679
So hello, hellos here thinking you the quiet way hopefully
2
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:29.160
to the Yuvik Exchange. Last time I went there to
3
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.480
catch the bus to work.
4
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.320
I took the.
5
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.799
Route that I would normally take when I forgot how
6
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.439
the noisy that Roses Road is.
7
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:50.880
In the morning. Today's supposed to be a nice control
8
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.880
zone zone two rank, so that zone three.
9
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.000
Mm HM.
10
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:20.280
In eleven minutes thirty two per kilometer. Mind I, I walk
11
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.680
the hall up my street.
12
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:34.040
As I was setting up my equipment. My heart's racing
13
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:42.840
at the moment. Imast get excited when I speak to
14
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:50.200
you guys. Let me just pause the recording until my
15
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.760
breathing calms.
16
00:01:51.400 --> 00:02:05.599
Down a man, Otherwise I'm gosping to speak. Seven minutes
17
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:11.759
into my run and I'm on the Lambrick Park.
18
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:19.639
The lower zone, heading towards Felt and Rob.
19
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.400
Then I'll be on the back doubles.
20
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:33.840
It's exagging my way across Gordon Head towards in the
21
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:45.800
University of Victoria. It's been a pretty eventful week altogether.
22
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.319
I've had to cover more shifts than I was expecting.
23
00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:04.560
For Rob hopefully touch Wood he's tomorrow. Tomorrow is Thursday.
24
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:14.960
I have done five days straight, mind you. The money
25
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.280
will come in handy.
26
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.360
I'm just coming past.
27
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:29.159
I think what they are is ginkko trees, ginko billmoba trees.
28
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.879
Not certain about that.
29
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.840
But there are no leaves on the trees, so I
30
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:46.199
can't really tell. But the other day on Monday, when
31
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.639
I was coming home, I saw a Chinese lady picking
32
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.919
these fruits off the ground. Let me take a photograph
33
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.879
of the ginko tree. See if that's well. In fact,
34
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.039
they are gink fruits.
35
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:15.280
Yep.
36
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.759
Anyway, so I asked her. I said, excuse me, what
37
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.600
are those fruits that you're picking? And she gave me
38
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:32.759
the classic old Chinese lady version of I don't speak English.
39
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.600
I said, what do they called her? She disrupted her shoulders.
40
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.240
She doesn't really know what to say to me that.
41
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:48.279
I guess she knows them as ginkos. But uh, the
42
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.839
fruit were fascinating. They looked interesting. They looked like little apricots.
43
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.560
But uh.
44
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:04.120
I took three of ground and walked home with them,
45
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.240
and I ate them and they were very, very a stringent.
46
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.040
They were soft, so I knew they were ripe. But
47
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.120
they had a very large stone in the middle, which
48
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:29.319
I didn't eat. Obviously, it was just after this exotic flavor.
49
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.199
But after a.
50
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:37.079
Few seconds, my tongue started to burn on the edges and.
51
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.519
Still I feel it anyway.
52
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:52.360
So I looked up gincoboloba fruit and it did warn
53
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:57.680
me that the seeds were toxic. They have to be
54
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.319
prepared in a certain way.
55
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.120
But this Chinese lady wasn't able to explain that to me.
56
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.800
I guess that's why she didn't really wanna get involved
57
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:19.160
in misleading me. But uh so too. But uh the
58
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.480
fruit was kind of interesting. And I looked up on
59
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:33.240
the internet this business about the ginko and it did
60
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:41.839
say that the jews from the ginko fruit it's a
61
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:54.839
stringent and can cause skin rashes. It's probably scorched my
62
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:06.439
tongue alright. So now I'm on the namehood backstreets heading
63
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:18.720
towards La vall Haven. Here every Golden Head road comfortably
64
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:29.319
in zone too. So that was the Monday, the Monday Shock.
65
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.639
Tuesday was quite hectic.
66
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.959
A lot of turkey went out the other day Turkey
67
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:52.279
dinner for fifty, which involved the famous.
68
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.319
Chafing dishes.
69
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:05.959
As large stainless your hotel pants with a lid and
70
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.759
the little candles under kneath.
71
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.439
Start. Must just stopped to say hello to a cat.
72
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:26.040
Hello cat. So about avenue.
73
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:41.879
I take a left, coming off Yola, heading towards Gordon's
74
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:42.639
Head Row.
75
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:53.720
The Bove zone. Take heed, take heed, young man, listen
76
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:54.559
to Slantha.
77
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.480
So I had my porridge, I had my black coffee,
78
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.879
and I remember to put the recycling out. Being Wednesday,
79
Load full transcript
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:21.039
we get our recycling every two weeks, but now that
80
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:26.440
the fireplace is in action, I tend to burn most
81
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.759
of the cardboard and paper that we accumulate, so all
82
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.240
that goes out now is plastic.
83
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:49.240
And the occasional can and what else glass. That's right.
84
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:55.120
My son likes to cook for us everyek Thursday.
85
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.279
We have buttered chicken, which.
86
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:06.360
Involves a jar of VH.
87
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:07.440
Buttered chicken.
88
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:17.559
Faucet. This is only three just getting the uphill section
89
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.679
out of the way from from the next main road
90
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.720
from Gordonhead Road. It's mostly hello, it's mostly downhill.
91
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:36.600
To be pleasant. I like doing it this way. When
92
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.080
I do my Golden Head loop, I come this.
93
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.440
Way and get the uphill section nine first, and then
94
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:54.200
I have a nice downhill run to the water's edge. Today,
95
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.759
instead of turning left at the top, I'll be turning right, heading.
96
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.840
Towards edge load.
97
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.240
Kevin put out the word the other day, so I
98
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:12.399
have to remember to record a short submission for the
99
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.919
Extra Mile podcast.
100
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.080
Probably do that on the.
101
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:22.360
Way home, cause this episode I will try once again
102
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:29.600
to upload from the bus. I having fact termed a
103
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.399
cellular data on so if I wanted to go live,
104
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.679
I could, but I don't really like doing that for
105
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:46.559
some reason. It's like answering the phone. You knows, you
106
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.240
never really know how it's gonna turn out. There. Let
107
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.360
me pause as I get away from the noise again.
108
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.399
So even this route is quite noisy.
109
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:11.480
I apologize for that, but at least I have a
110
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:20.559
good windsock today as I hang a left on McCoy Road,
111
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:22.399
all right.
112
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.320
Back to the calm and the quiet of the back Doubles.
113
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:35.960
I think I will call this short episode the back Doubles.
114
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:51.639
Oh December, it's well and truly underway. My older brother's
115
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.960
birthday is coming up. I think it actually might be
116
00:12:55.080 --> 00:13:03.720
tomorrow above zone zone three.
117
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.080
As I'm walking off a little bit.
118
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:15.679
Twenty two minutes in, it's fifty.
119
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:23.399
Four per kilometer? Is my case? Quite chilling?
120
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:23.759
Today?
121
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.399
I'm not worry bloods.
122
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:32.759
So I should be taking advantage of this freedom to
123
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:44.440
use my phone as I take a photograph of the
124
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.799
the uh Vlock's rugby field.
125
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.399
I think it.
126
00:13:53.399 --> 00:14:04.600
Belongs to the University of Victoria. As I approach my destination,
127
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:14.720
I will run this last part continuously, firstly because I'm
128
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:22.320
running out of recording space, because within the next five
129
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.879
minutes I'll be sitting on the bench waiting for.
130
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:28.279
The bus M.
131
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:40.879
Eight fifty nine, and I'm halfway to my goal. So
132
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:49.519
that would be two hundred calories so far burnt. Being
133
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:58.039
about three kilometers, I have another, let's say half a
134
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:09.639
kilometer to go. That ad bus wasn't in the service,
135
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.000
but the next one is.
136
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.120
Up. He's not gonna stop.
137
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.080
They used to stop for pedestrians if they could see
138
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.639
them running for the bus. But I was a little
139
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:59.720
bit too far away.
140
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.279
Maybe I was for thirty nine. I'm going to cross here.
141
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.240
How about lights give us a break?
142
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:31.240
Here we go. Lots of students around here.
143
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:38.879
It's this University of Victoria campus after all, lots of faculties,
144
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.320
lots of residencies.
145
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.720
I think forty nine is my pace.
146
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.960
I was figuring on eight thirty being my paceman, what
147
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.759
with one thing and another.
148
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:25.480
My past drops, however I love, so.
149
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.720
As I walk it off a little bit, I get
150
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:35.559
to cut across the parking lot now, so away.
151
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:41.079
From the Ring Road. Gabriola Road.
152
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:48.599
Is being crossed as I speak. I know the next
153
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.880
twenty six will be at about half an hour, so
154
00:17:54.519 --> 00:18:00.400
I have between now and then to upload my data
155
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:11.079
to Speaker. It looks as if I've been attached to
156
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:19.680
a different app, different platform for sharing my content to YouTube,
157
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:25.440
as a company called Headliner that.
158
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:35.319
Shares the spreaker feed from signed up numbers to YouTube.
159
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.960
So if I post now, it's a speaker to automatically
160
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.400
get shared to YouTuber. And I used to do that,
161
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:50.960
but they warned us that that service would be discontinued.
162
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.680
In December.
163
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.799
So I got on board with Headliner, and uh, as
164
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:07.640
they say, the rest is history. This episode of the
165
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:13.640
Back of Doubles will appear sometime this morning on YouTube
166
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.920
without me doing anything major.
167
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.880
So most of the vehicles.
168
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:31.720
Now that you're hear will be diesel engine and electric
169
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:39.559
and hybrid buses. I had more than one option of
170
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:44.960
buses to take today, but I'll take the twenty sixth.
171
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.519
It'll get me into work just around eight thirty, which
172
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:57.200
is when I want to be there. There is a
173
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.640
bus that's not in service, but if if he's letting
174
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.680
people on, I'll take advantage of that and sit in
175
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:10.319
the bus. What we see, if the driver has the
176
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:18.720
doors open and the doors shut, he's.
177
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.480
On his brake.
178
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.960
Alright, So I will take a seat and wait for
179
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:36.960
the scheduled departure of the bus. So this is the
180
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.960
running Jackal sitting in the bus shelter at the Usick Exchange.
181
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.480
You could probably hear the acoustic difference.
182
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.599
I have a little roof over my head and a
183
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:54.359
couple of plexiglass panels on either side of me.
184
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.440
All right, So once again the running Jackal
185
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.680
On Wednesday saying bye bye to you with about a
186
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:13.240
twenty minutes show today, Bye bye,
