Day 276 – (AD 1,438) – 26.1 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I have crossed another threshold. I have completed 80.02% of my total journey. Who would have thought that I would keep on keeping-on? And this morning I pedaled 26.1 miles on my Schwinn 170.

My totals now are 30,569.8 miles; 49,197.4 kilometers. I still have 7,631.8 miles to go.

And this morning I reached my next goal, Fournier Crater. I continued 22.6 miles beyond in the direction of my next destination and goal point, Libya Montes. I have completed 3.5% of the new distance.

This morning’s FBS dropped 10 points. I had a hankering for Tourtière last night. I used to make a couple always for Christmas Eve in days gone by. And I think I can still do the same.

Filling is Ground Beef and Pork and mashed Potatoes with a bunch of spices, which were a few more as mentioned in the recipe.

Rainbow Cranes
JS AB - 2017

Rainbow Cranes Update - Our Rainbow Cranes are looking better than expected. The inner top and all 36 Cranes have been quilted. Next step the border.

Questions answered –

Andy does not use a "ruler" to sew the straight lines. He uses tape.

The Crane blocks are NOT paper-pieced. I created an #Accuquilt design and die which we use to cut the fabric for all the Cranes and the surrounding background of each individual block.

The Crane block is 6" square. I also created a 5" one.

Something to think about and appreciate –

BBC.com just made notice that “Stephen Hawking PhD readers crash Cambridge University website”.

Soapbox –

#45’s approval rating at FiveThirtyEight is continuing on a steady downward path. Whenever it does turn-around the approval rating is still lower than the lowest ever for President Gerald Ford.
