Days 553 & 554 – (AD 1,713) – 24.0 + 23.6 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

December 2, 2012, the day I began this crazy Jim’s Trek. I have now been cycling my Schwinn Fitness Cycles for 1,713 days.

I have covered 37,138.8 miles; 59,769.2 kilometers, and that is equal to the circumference of the Earth and just about the circumference of Mars. I only have 1,062.8 miles to go to complete my original goal.

All things being equal I will finish in about 60 more day, give or take.

Saturday morning, I pedaled 24.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. This morning I cycled 23.6 miles. Totals are now 37,138.8 miles; 59,769.2 kilometers.

I have plotted a new path and goal destination, Ascraeus Mons. I am now located at 29.38%.

Only 1,062.8 miles remaining in Jim’s Trek.

Something to think and make sure to do something about –

December begins early -

My phone rings.

Veronica: "This is Veronica calling for James Smith."

Me: "You are calling, concerning?"

Veronica: "This is Veronica calling from Orthopedic Systems."

Me: "And you are calling because?"

Veronica: "I am calling because you are having lower back pain and problems."

Me: "Yes, I am having much lower pain because you are calling me."

Veronica: "Oh!" You are having pain?"

Click. Veronica hangs up.

As I mentioned I have linked into what I believe is your Katz Family line reaching back to your 10-times Great-Grandparents Katz.

The information includes documentation and references to BMD registrations, especially in and around the towns of Durlach and Pforzheim in Baden, Germany.

Here is a created Brunhammer Katz Descendant Tree.
