Day 570 – (AD 1,729) – 24.1 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

On the 2nd Day of Christmas, I don’t need any more pets. Fours dogs are quite enough. And Happy Boxing Day to one and all.

This morning I pedaled 24.1 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals are now 37,519.34 miles; 60,381.8 kilometers.

I have plotted a new path and goal destination, Ascraeus Mons. I am now located at 84.54%.

Only 682.2 miles remaining in Jim’s Trek.

Something to think and make sure to do something about –

Question: Why is it that some persons feel that the older the get, the more entitled they think they should be?

The math approximates, but an approximation is better than the lies coming out of the Oval Office. From The Washington Post, “Based on Trump’s detailed diagram of his slat wall, here is some advanced mathematics”, by Philip Bump, Dec. 23, 2018.

“What’s more, a nine-inch gap wouldn’t necessarily keep people out. In 2010, a prisoner in a jail in Tennessee escaped his cell by covering himself with grease and squeezing between bars set 4.5 inches apart. He would have found the steel slats — with gaps between that are twice that size — practically roomy.”

This week begins an experiment and a challenge to me.

The challenge – Make a great Biscuit.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

Labels have been created for all Cranes Quilts. Next on the agenda - sleeves, Spectrum shade orientation, hangers, and write-ups.

Here's hoping my PC will hold up, between crashes of my graphic card.

Our tally of Cranes Quilts that will be included in our Hope Project - 50 quilts and 1 coat

40 Quilts in the Cranes Spectrum - Jim and Andy
9 Cranes Quilts - Jim and Andy
