Wednesday, 9/2 -We did a little shopping at Costco for some sale items.  Afterward, we hiked to the Purple Line Bridge on Rock Creek Trail to see if much was getting done. 

Thursday, 9/3 - Walked around Wheaton Mall.  We ended up walking about 2.3 miles.

Friday, 9/4 - Today we walked around the Flora Singer Elementary School.  This is where Brandon went to school.  Discovered some interesting trails and we walked through McKenny Park.

Sunday, 9/6 - walked 2.5 miles on Sligo Creek Parkway.

Monday, 9/7 - Labor Day.  Only a short 30-minute neighborhood walk today.

Tuesday, 9/8 - Spent the day with Brandon.  Virtual School.  When I got home walked to CVS and around the neighborhood.  Bruce walked around the neighborhood and we both did some house walking to get our goal.

Wednesday, 9/9 - We did a little thrifting today.  Bruce got a long wanted electric meat slicer.  Because of the rain e walked around Arundel Mills Mall.

Thursday, 9/10 - Stormey day.  House walked a little.  I finished up on the treadmill to get my goal.

Friday, 9/11 - Started my day with Brandon.  Afterward, Bruce and I found our first geocache at Forest Glen Park.  We both made our goal today.

Saturday, 9/12 - Hiked Pautectant River Trail about 2.5 miles.  Stopped at a couple of estate sales/yard sales.  Spent $1.  We both made our goal.

Sunday, 9/13 - We attempted to find a geocache around the Forest Glen Metro Station.  DNF.  Neither one of us made our goal.  Only about 60%.

Monday, 9/14 - No walking today but we were very busy harvesting and cleaning the Lake Rider Jon boat.  I do mean harvesting.  The boat has been stored on the side of the house for a number of years.  The bamboo had grown up and around every twist and turn and hole and handle.  It was really an effort to get it away from the bamboo. Once we did there were years of grime to scrub off the poor thing.  We are taking it down to Wilderness and renting a berth for the small boats there near the lake.

Tuesday, 9/15 - We failed on walking today.  I had too much paperwork.

Wednesday, 9/16 - Another day of chores and some shopping.  Fortunately, I made my goal and Bruce was very close.

Thursday, 9/17 - Another day of chores.  Fixed the leaky basement window.  That was a big accomplishment.  Cleaned the board seats and life jackets for the Lake Raider.  Loaded some stuff on the RV in anticipation of our trip to Wilderness.

Friday, 9/18 - Bruce had a regular Dr. appointment this morning.  Last night I spilled apple juice all over the kitchen floor.  Thought I cleaned it up but had to do a thorough job today to get rid of the sticky.  Going to Dad's for an outdoor get-together this afternoon.
