Days 13, 14, & 15 – (AD 1,772) – 75.9 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part VI – Still on Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Tuesday morning I pedaled 25.3 miles my Schwinn 170. Wednesday I pedaled 25.0 miles. And this morning I cycled another 25.6 miles. The following are a quick summary of key numbers in my Trek.

My overall goal is now to complete 50,000. To date I have completed 38,564.7 miles; 62,063.9 kilometers.


I reached my destination at Echus Montes, a completed distance from the last point, of 960 miles. I am now continuing on to my new goal Lunae Planum, a distance of 460 miles. I am now located at 0.5% of my current destination point goal.

You will have to tune in to where I will jet to next when I complete my total journey on Mars. Jim’s Trek VI will include 11,798.4 miles.

Here are the current stats of my Jim's Trek VI.

Something to think about and do something about it -

If we as legal and legitimate American taxpayers, subsidize the salaries of the current appointed and assumed staffing of the West Wing and the White House administration, should we not judge their performance based on the expectancies of their jobs and employment as they should benefit the needs of all American taxpayers?

And if all Americans are not receiving the benefits, as most West Wing and White House “employees” pledged to do so, and are currently not fulfilling their sworn obligations on behalf of all Americans, should they not be asked to resign and vacate their offices?

Our CYaY Update

We've decided to add another freehand element to our CYaY's quilting design.


And it definitely looks like we'll have to remember to do a "lint-away" rubdown when we have finally completed CYaY.


Feel free to ask any questions regarding our work and joint efforts. We'll always attempt to respond to all questions and comments, especially to you for joining us on our quilting journey.

Answer(s) - Andy and I decided, some time ago, that we would like and attempt to try as many as possible quilting techniques and combine them into our quilts and compositions.

I adjusted the recipes Albóndigas con papas and Golden Cabbage from "Puerto Rico Cookery" by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli.  The links are a close representation of the recipe I used.

And fresh out of the oven - Sourdough Split Loaves. The aroma in my kitchen is next to divine.

I am currently trying to decipher the written surnames of possible Conrad Brunhammer from registrations dated 1703, 1707, and 1736.  Here are 4 possible indications of the surname: 3 Marriage and 1 Baptism Registrations from Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg.


Certainly would appreciate another set of eyes. Are the surnames the same? Similar? Not all the same?

Does this mean that we as a people have stooped to a level that we allow a “false leader” debase the nature of what may be considered a critical phrase, as “national emergency” to the point that it is his idiosyncratic and egotistical definition which he is attempting to sway the tide of American know-how and authority?

My 4-times Great-Grandfather Philip Abrahams, was also Feivel Goldsticker, (Goldsticker being Hebrew for Embroiderer). His son, Victor Abraham, my 3-times Great-Grandfather was appointed Embroiderer to Queen Victoria.


I did these 2 pieces of needlepoint quite a number of years ago.



Andy's 2-times Great-Grandfather Jacob (aka Jacques) Brunhammer was a Textile Designer in Alsace, France. And Andy has a degree in Textile Engineering.

Looks like there may be something passed along by ways and means of familial connections.

Thanks Bernard.

Days 7 & 8 – (AD 1,765) – 25.3 + 24.5 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part VI – Still on Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Yesterday morning I pedaled 25.3 miles my Schwinn 170. This morning I pedaled another 24.5 miles. The following are a quick summary of key numbers in my Trek.

My overall goal is now to complete 50,000. To date I have completed 38,387.7 miles; 61,779.1 kilometers.

I am now located at 76.62% of my current destination point goal.

You will have to tune in to where I will jet to next when I complete my total journey on Mars. Jim’s Trek VI will include 11,798.4 miles.

Here's a hint. The first leg of my new journey and destination, when I make a landing, is a distance of 6,287 miles.

I am a wee bit delayed getting an image of my location on Mars as my desktop PC is in the shop, new Graphic Card and Operating system issues. Needed a new Motherboard.

Based on my calculations and if I continue my cycling 6 days a week at about 20 miles each day, I forecast that I will complete my 50,000 miles on about my 69th birthday on December 20, 2020. I began December 2, 2012.

Something to think about and do something about it -

From Counter Punch, November 23, 2018, by Kevin McKinney, "Trump and His Loyalists are “Animal Farm’s” Pigs" -

"Trump is akin to Farm’s ruthless ruling pig, Napoleon, a Berkshire boar who, Orwell writes, has a knack for “getting his own way.”

Napoleon counted on his propagandist pig, Squealer, who “could turn black into white” to brainwash the farm animals with lies about their tyrannical leader’s supposed benevolence.

Even Clover the mare, who notices the changes the pigs sneakily make to Animalism’s Commandments, eventually is lulled into a sense of complacency, convincing herself that she must have “remembered it wrong.”

As the Farm animals work harder for less, the beloved, but dim-witted carthorse Boxer declares, “I will work harder” and routinely motivates himself by extolling the pigs’ most controlling lie of all: “Napoleon is always right.”e Orwell's Animal Farm - "Snowball and Napoleon discuss their different ideas about how to run the farm if a rebellion were to occur. After much speculation about a possible rebellion, an event occurs that actually inspires the rebellion. One night, Mr. Jones gets so drunk that he forgets to feed the animals. This incites the rebellion.""

Days 599 & 2 – (AD 1,759) – 8.9 + 14.8 + 24.1 Miles – Jim’s Trek Parts V & VI – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,



Yesterday morning I pedaled 23.7 miles on my Schwinn 170. 8.9 miles now completes my original goal of 38,201.6 miles. Those totals are now 38,201.6 miles; 61,479.6 kilometers. My total goal was equal to the sum of the two circumference of Earth and Mars.

Today, I pedaled 24.1 miles on my Schwinn Fitness cycle.


I am now located at 66.48% of my current destination point goal.

Yesterday I completed Jim’s Trek V and I now begin Jim’s Trek VI. My goal is to complete my journey on Mars to move forward until I reach my original landing point. This means that a portion of Jim’s Trek VI will be completed on Mars. This morning I completed the first 14.8 miles of my Part VI.

My totals are now at 38,240.5 miles; 61,542.2 kilometers.

You will have to tune in to where I will jet to next when I complete my total journey on Mars. Jim’s Trek VI will include 11,798.4 miles. My new goal is 50,000 miles.

Based on my calculations and if I continue my cycling 6 days a week at about 20 miles each day, I forecast that I will complete my 50,000 miles on about my 69th birthday on December 20, 2020. I began December 2, 2012.

Only 8.9 miles left.


This morning I pedaled 24.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. Over three days prior I pedaled a total of 71.2 miles. Totals are now 38,192.7 miles; 61,462.3 kilometers.

I am now located at 61.5% of my current destination point goal.

Only 8.9 miles remaining in Jim’s Trek. My original goal is 38,201.6 miles. That goal is the total number of miles of the equatorial circumferences of both the Earth and Mars.


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

I tasted the Kuchen, top is definitely charcoal and center uncooked. Dessert definitely NOT salvageable.


Looks like oven has given up the ghost after 10 years of almost constant use, especially bread-baking.

New oven ordered, and installed.. As always I can depend upon Lowe's.

A remake of the Blueberry Kuchen. Recipe can be found online.


And yes, I use my ovens a lot. This morning I had all 3 going at once.

Pull Apart Crescent Meatball Sliders.


And for supper it was Potato and Eggplant Tortilla Español.


I got the recipe from Cristopher Kimball’s Milk Street magazine, January February 2019 issue.

And of course I had to use the new oven to make bread. This recipe is a Sourdough Bread flavored with Spicy Pepper Peach Spread.

Our Hope Project will be on display through February 27 at the UUC Octagon Arts Center on Nursery Road, Clearwater, Florida.


When you decided to attend, please give the Church office a call at (727) 531-7704 to make sure that the Octagon Arts Center will be open, and that the lights on the exhibit are tuned on.

Andy and I set up our "Two-Men" exhibit at the Charles J. Fendig Public Library at 3909 W. Neptune Street in Tampa. “Two-Men” will continue and be available for viewing during Library hours through the end of March.




Work is progressing on our newest project “CYaY”. (Just a temporary title.)
