00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:26.719
Hello, everybody call us here. It's Wednesday, so it's show
2
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.760
time today.
3
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.399
I'm doing one of my favorites, the duck Runner. I
4
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:43.520
should be able to feed a few ducks today. I
5
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:48.759
have my earbuds out so you will hear Samantha.
6
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:57.079
And the metronome. There you go. That was your level check.
7
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:06.519
I'm gonna be crossing Shelburne Street and going into bau
8
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:14.560
Park very soon, heading towards the Bow Park Park Pond.
9
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.319
I guess it could be called bow Pond, that makes sense.
10
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.560
I don't have my bread already cut up today.
11
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.439
I have two tail ends.
12
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.159
Of bread and a middle section, and if the ducks
13
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.280
aren't there, I will eat the bread.
14
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.159
I also brought my hydration. I brought my.
15
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:56.560
Patented sports street. As I wait to cross the street,
16
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:10.120
let me push the button. Beautiful clear day today, yet again,
17
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.039
another day in paradise here on the West coast of
18
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:27.599
North America. As they head up into the quieter regions
19
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:39.560
of my neighborhood. I brought my point and shoot camera
20
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.240
today as well, so if there are any ducks, that'll.
21
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.960
Be my trailer video. I hear some construction work going on.
22
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.319
Somebody's working with a weed worker I think, so I
23
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:12.639
will pause this until I get away from him. It's
24
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.840
a guy that's gone by me on a bicycle, nice fenders,
25
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:26.280
very trim. He's struggling a little bit now as am I.
26
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:38.400
Hence the metronome. He's going on exactly the same trail
27
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:45.639
as me. But very soon he'll be swooping down and
28
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.439
I will be jogging behind him. You've got about four
29
00:03:52.520 --> 00:04:03.439
minutes of audio recorded. I didn't bring my chest mounted
30
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.479
camera today, so as a midwaker, I think I'll spare
31
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:12.479
the chess mount. I'll just save the point and shoot
32
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.519
in case the ducks come out to play.
33
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.079
Do you spec.
34
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.399
Where at that minute? Steps from?
35
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:32.240
All? Right, now it's my turn to go downhill today.
36
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:43.279
My second stop Parker Bow Pond will be King's Pond.
37
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.680
I was thinking of my route to King's Pond. Then
38
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.639
one of the sections near the golf course has all
39
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:07.480
these English race track This is horse racing, equestrian racetracks
40
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:15.319
called things like Epsom and Ascot and Derby, all those
41
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:21.920
horsey kind of names. And in that neighborhood, excuse me,
42
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.439
there's a tree. There's a tree. There's a street called
43
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.120
Charles Street. I was thinking it would be a really
44
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.680
good opportunity to style.
45
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:38.680
Up the neighborhood.
46
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.319
If they just asked to change their name to King
47
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:49.439
Charles the Third Street, wouldn't that be cool? He could
48
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:54.000
be surrounded by all the.
49
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.639
Famous race tracks of his domain.
50
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.199
I have to be careful not to miss my turn
51
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:10.839
off for Bow Park, for Bow Pond. It is signpost,
52
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.160
It's all just I just look at every.
53
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:25.319
Time post as a flash by.
54
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:29.920
I don't think I've missed it. I could always feed
55
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.879
them on the way back. No, I don't think I've
56
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:45.600
missed it. I'm not that distracted today.
57
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.439
Well, I hope you enjoyed this Sunday episode. I did.
58
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.519
I was listening to the Sunday Show on Monday when
59
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:03.800
I'm out in the boot. Okay, so here is where
60
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:19.160
I make my turn off to the duck pond as
61
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:49.000
I paused the audio. So that was a bit of
62
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.959
a wash out. There were no ducks at the pond,
63
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.399
so I left some bread for them. I hurt them
64
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.759
in the bushes where I didn't once. I have to
65
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.199
wait too long.
66
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:17.399
For them, just.
67
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:25.279
Going past the daycare. Luckily, no, none of the kids
68
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.839
are crying. Thought I had one that was crying, but.
69
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:32.519
She or he stopped.
70
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:42.639
Starting now on Brayfort the road heading uphill towards see
71
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:50.080
the Hill cross Road and Derby or Epsom.
72
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.720
I think Epsom is the one I usually go up
73
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.440
to get to King's Pond.
74
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:07.200
Beautiful, just perfect temperatures like twelve degree celsius with a
75
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:15.080
low sun hanging in a clear as your sky. Yep,
76
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.120
we've got some cloudy weather coming in for the weekend,
77
Load full transcript
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.360
but I don't mind. I've got two more days working
78
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:32.399
Saturday Sunday mornings. Two days of work and then Robs
79
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.840
back to his regular position so I can start planning
80
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:44.639
my mini road trips again. Yep, this is quite a
81
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:49.480
climb that I will push into it. Just in a second.
82
00:09:49.559 --> 00:10:04.320
Here that was so four, I think, maybe not. Finally
83
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:09.159
a little bit of quiet. I tend to forget how
84
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:18.320
noisy even the suburbs are. People, the delivery guys, kids
85
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:25.360
going to school on skateboards. Anyway, I got one more
86
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:32.600
crossing to do and then I'll be at King's Pond.
87
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.399
Hopefully this time there will be some ducks for me
88
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:42.879
to play with. I gotta record at least one quack.
89
00:10:47.759 --> 00:11:24.519
I don't wanna be quackless in Victoria. Okay, so finally
90
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:29.759
I'm away from the noise again. And it's not Charles Street,
91
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:38.039
it's Charles Place. That could be King Charles the third Place.
92
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:45.279
Let me take a photograph of of that signage if I.
93
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:53.879
Could find it in my viewfinder. There we go, got it? Oh,
94
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:54.600
I'm possible.
95
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.840
I was just wondering if somebody was driving up behind me,
96
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:07.360
somebody patiently waiting for me to take my photograph. So
97
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.159
I'm not optimistic about ducks. But we'll see. I will
98
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.360
take a drink when I'm there, and I will talk
99
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.600
some more, I promise, but not too much more. I
100
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:25.279
would have got seven minutes already filed away. I'm not
101
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:33.600
working on my next ten minutes or so. That will
102
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.279
still be a short show. But seventeen minutes it's good,
103
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:45.679
which we think about it. I could always try and
104
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.600
make the longer one this Sunday outing and keep the
105
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:59.840
midweeker short. Zan three, I definitely heard that. See, that's
106
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.879
what I don't like riding when there's noise, cause I
107
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:19.960
can't hear. I can't hear Samantha. Oh uh, start running
108
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:21.159
again in a second.
109
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.600
Just let me get my breath back. I gain.
110
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.240
I'm gonna take a drink break when I get to
111
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.440
King's Pond, so.
112
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.799
I could push on a little more.
113
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:39.000
Let me do that. I'll take video of ducks only
114
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.600
now I have enough of a trailer video.
115
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.279
I believe.
116
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.960
Hopefully the ducks will help me say goodbye to my
117
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:54.120
video audience.
118
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.919
N three. Ah.
119
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.559
You know, so I work the weekend. It's gonna get
120
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:09.840
cloudy again tomorrow. I've gotta make up some minutes, so
121
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.320
I need to uh go for a long walk or
122
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:20.399
a long bike ride, something to spend time on my feet.
123
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.080
Maybe I'll do a whole whack of yard work. I've
124
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:29.679
got the bumper crop this year of acorns, and the
125
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.600
leaves are still on the tree, so I've got them
126
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.279
to do. But what I was thinking it was, if
127
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.519
I spend an hour raking acorns, I can give them
128
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.120
to the city and they can trash them as they wish.
129
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:55.360
I'll give it to them as green garbage and there
130
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.240
even if it went in with the rubbish, it would
131
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.240
be cool kosher because I wouldn't be bagging it. So
132
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.440
it will just help to melch up the bags that
133
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:14.120
end up in the landfill. Okay, so now we've got
134
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.600
a guy with a hedge trimmer.
135
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.480
It's just fired that up. I'll be away from him
136
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.120
in a second her, I should.
137
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:45.279
Say, so eight minutes so far on file number two.
138
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.320
I kick got that.
139
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:54.600
Took that opportunity of her noise to uh check on
140
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.200
my stats on my voice recorder.
141
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:05.720
Get a. I'm very close to King's pond. Now this two.
142
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.399
That's good.
143
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:15.360
I'll be on chip very soon and then I'll turn.
144
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:23.679
I've already heard my halfway to my goal announcement, so
145
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.960
I'm pretty sure that going back is going to be
146
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:31.360
the same, if not more effort.
147
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.000
So that's probably going to do it for my six hundred.
148
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:43.639
I was considering bumping it up to seven hundred because
149
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:49.879
sometimes I have trouble getting enough minutes in. Because I'm
150
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.200
finding it easier to get my six hundred burn done,
151
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.639
especially when I'm under the weather. It's kind of ironic
152
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.639
when you're not feeling well.
153
00:16:58.679 --> 00:16:59.519
You could put up.
154
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:05.400
Some more impressive heart rate stats if high numbers is
155
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.839
good and this doesn't look too encouraging, but I will
156
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.960
sit at the bench and get myself ready.
157
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.559
I do s see some ducks. I do see some
158
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.440
ducks here too. Help me get my camera out.
159
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:41.000
So I'm not gonna be duckless in Seattle, or douckless
160
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.880
in Victor quackless in Victoria.
161
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.799
I have a their interest.
162
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.920
Let me just get the bread going, get them excited.
163
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:02.279
I have to remember too, I have to remember.
164
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:05.559
To take a drink as well.
165
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:10.920
There they go.
166
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.640
It's pretty hard to hold the camera in the same hand.
167
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:18.519
It's a piece of bread that you're tearing for the ducks.
168
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.680
That uh, there you go.
169
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.759
Who said podcasting was easy?
170
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.160
No one ever, not even that.
171
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:36.240
