A little experiment in drawing things from memory I see on my run, instead of taking my phone with me and snapping a photo. Also a way to learn to use / get comfortable with Procreate.

AC failed last night and we were on repair tech call watch from 0800 on so, while I usually make it a point to not have my phone with me on my run, today I did. Fortunately that means I a.) snapped a picture of and b.) get to write something about Buddy Horse, Buddy Horse being a recent arrival, the engine of an Amish family who moved into a house that once had Joy, the coon hound whom I returned home a number of times, as its guard. Now that we’ve become acquainted, Buddy Horse runs alongside me as I pass his pasture most mornings, between OCD pacings on his loop and indulging in some hay; I often get a happy nod when I call out, BUDDY HORSE! – and yes, if I drive past him I shout it from the trucklet. Drive by BUDDY HORSE-ing.
Finding a discarded muffler along the road on the morning run made me happier than I ever thought a discarded muffler along the road could make me. Of course I picked it up and carried it home to Metalshack for repurposes TBD; I also learned that running whilst carrying a discarded muffler is… interesting.
