Day 552 – (AD 1,711) – 24.1 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled 24.1 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals are now 37,091.2 miles; 59,692.6 kilometers.

I have plotted a new path and goal destination, Ascraeus Mons. I am now located at 22.48%.

Only 1,110.4 miles remaining in Jim’s Trek.

Something to think and make sure to do something about –

A new reading from Vulture “How to Be an Artist”, 33 rules to take you from clueless amateur to generational talent (or at least help you live life a little more creatively). November 28, 2018, Jerry Saltz

"Art is for anyone. It’s just not for everyone. I know this viscerally, as a would-be artist who burned out. I wrote about that last year, and ever since, I’ve been beset — every lecture I give, every gallery I pop my head into, somebody is asking me for advice. What they’re really asking is “How can I be an artist?”

Jim’s Gotta Eat – https://jimsgottaeat.blogspot.com/

Last night, Thursday night, we decided to brave the Tampa cold weather and pursue our Fried Chicken Taste Test.

Last's night choice was Cheddar's on North Dale Mabry in Tampa.  Cheddar's falls under the category of "Franchised".

Please be advised that this is our own taste opinion.
