Day 333 – (AD 1,495) – 23.4 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled my Schwinn 170 23.4 miles. Totals now recorded at 31,866.3 miles; 51,283.9 kilometers.

And I have completed 81.72% of the 820 miles to my next destination and goal point.

Soapbox –

Jim’s Gotta Eat –

Tampa, FL's 2nd winter's on its way...

So, I decided to make a batch of homemade Habitant Pea Soup.

Ingredients - Yellow Split Peas; Hambone; Onion; Carrot; Celery; Thyme; Bay Leaves; Salt and Pepper; and Water. Boiling done. Now to wait 3 1/2 hours on simmer.

And for dessert - Peanut Butter Brownies.

Quilting -

Cranes Quilt Update -

What happens when you find a iron-stain on your completed top?

At least we have a good portion of the white background for replacement.

We considered bleach, but it was too close to one of the Cranes, and we feared a liquid run and absorption by the Crane. So a quick cut-out and replace did the trick.

The border has been added to the top. Next job, the construction of the quilt sandwich. Next the consideration of the background quilting design.
