Day 550 – (AD 1,709) – 24.6 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled 24.6miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals are now 37,018.9 miles; 59,576.3 kilometers.


I have plotted a new path and goal destination, Ascraeus Mons. I am now located at 15.57%.

Only 1,158.1 miles remaining in Jim’s Trek.


Something to think and make sure to do something about –

“Mussolini viewed propaganda as a key means to win support from the Italian people. The poster here has the Italian words for "to us" written at the bottom, promoting a unified and strong Italy.”


Reading this morning –

From Medium.com dated Sep 6, 2018 – “Why You Shouldn’t Upgrade Your Camera” by Kirk Mastin https://medium.com/photo-dojo/why-you-shouldnt-upgrade-your-camera-de296679446e

“Collect art and photo books. Your best work comes from synthesizing information from your life experiences as well as the art you consume to feed your creative soul. I believe that if you don’t study what has already been done, you are doomed to repeat work that already exists at a very mediocre level. Your art will only ever rise to your level of taste, so study the greats that have come before you. Vincent Van Gogh copied famous impressionist paintings, stroke for stroke, to understand how his contemporaries painted. Once he understood impressionism, he could break the rules and find his voice. It’s no different for photographers.”

Or quilters.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

Quilting is done on the "almost" last Cranes Quilt of the Blue Set. The quilting on this Cranes Quilt was completed free-motion on our Janome 6600.



6 does not divide evenly into 40 evenly, so Andy and I will be creating the last 4 Cranes Quilts with batik fabric colors that are unique but will fit into one or more of the 6 color sets.

Answers -

1. Yes, there are holes in some of our Crane Quilts.

2. Our reasoning for the holes is...

3. Our Crane blocks are composed of 4 different sizes: 3"; 4"; 5"; and 6".

4. Yes, the Crane blocks are not paper-pieced.

5. The Cranes Spectrum quilts are all composed of lots of different batik shades of the 3 primary and 3 secondary colors.

Our Hope - Cranes Quilts - Project will premiere in January in Clearwater. Stay-tuned for updates.

And we ran out of safety pins to complete the last 5 sandwich tops.

Current goal to complete the 12 quilts, and now to begin 2nd stage of quilting, the design work. (And then we'll have enough safety pins.) Our goal is to have each of the 40 quilts of the Cranes Spectrum have its own unique quilted pattern.

Our Orenda Coffee Machine Saga update -

After waiting approximately 1 year and 1/2 years from Kickstarter payment to delivery, and

after finding out that the printed head office address is a non-existent flash in the pan, and

after initially dealing with some fembots in the company’s customer service department, and

after discovering an extremely low BBB rating, and

after reading the numerous of unsatisfied comments directed at the company, and

after struggling to get the confounded Orenda iPhone application to work, and

after swearing at the machine and realizing that I may have to completely write-off the cost of the machine, and

after losing accessibility to create a cup of coffee, and

after having to create several bogus IDs to get the machine going again, and

after searching online to figure out how to clean the machine, and

after learning how to tweak the makings of a good cup of coffee, and

after 89 cups of coffee, now at $4.88, and

after realizing that the Orenda Coffee machine makes a bloody damn good cup of coffee, and

after knowing that there are only 346 cups of coffee to make, and then the cost of a cup of coffee will only be the cost of the beans, and

after having learned all the idiosyncrasies of using the machine,

I can honestly say, that the Orenda Coffee Machine is one hell of an excellent coffee machine.

Good Day,


Today is my 1,700th day cycling on a Schwinn Fitness cycle. I now have 1,373.0 miles remaining in my overall goal.

And something has gone wrong with my image capture software. It is only producing black and white pictures. I am not going to let that worry me. I am not going to let that worry me.

My destination is Ulysses Fossae. As I continue, I am now located at 86.56%.

Good Day,

Something to think and make sure to do something about –

Reading – “Are You suffering From Empathy Deficit Disorder?”, Psychology Today, Douglas LaBier, Ph.D., April 12, 2010.

"First, some explanation of what I mean by EDD: When you suffer from it you're unable to step outside yourself and tune in to what other people experience, especially those who feel, think and believe differently from yourself. That makes it a source of personal conflicts, of communication breakdown in intimate relationships, and of adversarial attitudes - including hatred - towards groups of people who differ in their beliefs, traditions or ways of life from your own…

Most people are socially conditioned into believing that acquiring and achieving things are "normal" - even "healthy" - ways to live. EDD grows when people focus too much on acquiring power, status, and money for themselves. Nearly every day we hear or read about more extreme examples: people who go over the edge in their pursuit of money, power or recognition, and end up resigning their jobs, in rehab or behind bars…"

And the best news is that I was able to make the 73rd cup of coffee our the almost new Orenda Coffee machine. Costs of each cup to date is $5.95. Once we make our 361st cup , we will be only paying for the coffee beans.

Even though I did purchase this marvel of an Orenda Coffee machine, I will never ever use Kickstarter again to purchase an item.
