Day 173 ½ – (AD 1,078 ½) – 0.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Day of Rest On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today is my day of rest. Still hacking, sort of…but I am still living. And the voice is beginning to whisper around the lost decibel level.

Just a thought - Revelation 6:1-8…

No Schwinn 170 today.  Maybe this is where I go to on the next part of my Trek… a b.w.m. – Bike washing machine…






Definitely a WIP and the title is “tbd”. Andy's work is amazing at what I put down on paper.

Day 173 – (AD 1,078) – 24.0 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Eh? On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Another doctor’s appointment. I’m to take it easy. Still no real voice. Guess that rules out any auditioning for the baritone or tenor leads this week. I promised that I will take the 7th day off tomorrow…but I gotta miss the grandson’s soccer practice.

Late morning I pedaled 24.0 miles on my Schwinn 170. Here are my grand totals: 22,984.8 miles; 36,990.5 kilometers.

I am pinpointed at SP286, 73048 Nardò LE, Italy.

First band of 8 of our new quilt project.

Day 172 – (AD 1,077) – 22.8 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – Sans Voix On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Still cannot speak too loud. The Pack are not sure exactly what to do. They each now think their names are a very, very low, low version of “no”.

And so I still, sans voix, pedaled 22.8 miles on my Schwinn 170 this morning. Totals: 22,901.6 miles; 36,951.9 kilometers.

Google Maps has me located at SP122, 3, 74020 Campomarino TA, Italy. 62.0 more miles to go and then I reverse my direction.

Question – Not that it makes much of a difference what Mitt Romney said this morning about Donald Trump,

 “In turning up the rhetoric, Romney cast his lot with a growing chorus of anxious Republican leaders - people many Trump supporters view as establishment figures - in trying to slow the New York real estate mogul's momentum.” CBS/AP 

but what will the Republican leaders actually do if Donald Trump is elected as President? Just asking…

Question – Just wondering if the articles, albeit ‘best of’ lists may create some sort of neuroses in people? If a specific ‘best of’ list is published every year could not this cause some readers to feel inferior? And if it changes each year, could there be a mental pinball consequence?

Day 171 – (AD 1,076) – 23.9 Miles – Jim's Trek Part IV – But On My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Yesterday, for the first time that I can remember, I lost my voice. Just went. Gone. Silence. And it was somewhat hilarious of me dictating to my iPhone and PC. Doctor said this morning that there’s a bug going around. Some drugs and Tom Kha Gai and rest.

Question – When one has laryngitis how is it that same person can vocalize one hell of a lot of noise when coughing, hacking and sputtering?

But I did get on my Schwinn 170 and I pedaled 23.9 miles. My totals: 22,938.0 miles; 36,915.2 kilometers.

I am located at Strada Statale 106 Jonica, 3138, 74123 Agip Petroli-ilva TA, Italy.

That’s it for today.

A couple of new quilting projects in the works: Wings, Basic Equality, WBAS-JA, plus a number of others still in the closet. I’ve got to update our scheduling.

And the small swing in health could be a result of those three damn cycles.

They're all synchronizing on their downward slope at the zero axis.
