Days 415 & 416 – (AD 1,578) – 47.5 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

On Saturday I cycled 23.5 miles. This morning, in the rain (outside), I pedaled my Schwinn 170 23.4 miles. My totals are now 33,850.7 miles; 54,477.5 kilometers.

I am located at 60.09% to my new destination and goal point on Mars.

Something new and different –

One of our Pack is being tested at a local dog daycare.

Max seems to be a wee bit overwhelmed that there are more than just 3 others to contend with.

Supper tried - Indonesian-Style Chicken with Mushroom and Baby Bok Choy on Jasmine Rice.

Supper last night - I cheated. I made an easy and quick Pho Ga - Chicken Pho.

Cranes Spectrum Red Set Update -

The 6th set is under construction. Three Crane sizes represented: 6", 5", and 4". The Red Batik fabrics currently exhibit a subtle difference of shading.

Next step will be our layout to the 6 individual quilt designs.

Here's hoping our Cranes Spectrum idea will work.

Genealogy – https://agenealogyhunt.blogspot.com/

I’m wondering about the primary reason folks use and test and Autosomal DNA testing process. Methinks that most people may only be concerned with the “ethnicity” portion of the test.

According to the results I have received, the results for Matches, there appears to be a greater percentage of people who do not provide any family tree in order to continue with the search for common ancestors.

The number of matches (I’ve rounded) via the Autosomal DNA tests that I have received are as follows:

Family Tree DNA – 5,100 matches

23andMe – 1,100

Ancestry – 22,000

My Heritage – 5,300, and

Living DNA – still waiting for the introduction of the matching capability.

I know, I know, some people are a wee bit leery of putting out as much of their family tree information on an online site, but the purpose of DNA matching is to match to a or some common ancestor. Genealogy is not only determining one’s ethnicity. It is primarily the effort of finding one’s ancestral roots.

Day 414 – (AD 1,576) – 23.4 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I pedaled my Schwinn 170 23.4 miles. My totals are now 33,803.2 miles; 54,401.1 kilometers.

I am located at 52.04% to my new destination and goal point on Mars.

1939?

No. That is not the year I was born.

When pedaling my Schwinn 170, my routine is typically 5 hours each week. (I started in December 2012.) Also, as a part of my routine is to either watch a TV series or movie, without commercial interruptions. That helps my routine one hour go much faster, or so it seems.

Well sometimes I usually split the movie into parts and watch the whole over a se-ries of 1-hour rides.

This morning, I decided to watch one of those marathon movies, one that I have never ever seen before. And of course, it is a classic, “Gone With The Wind”.

Finally, I will get to find out why Rhett Butler says to Scarlett “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

My question based on the first hour of this mega-film is “Why within in the first hour is someone looking out a window?”

My search continues for fresh ramps in Tampa?

Along, with Whole Foods and The Fresh Market, there are no ramps to be had at MD Oriental Market on Fowler Avenue. And of course, I walked out with a few grocery bags with fresh produce from MD Oriental Market.

And for light reading, “Who Invented Bread?” by Joanna Fantozzi, Life Science, May 11, 2018.

“The Natufians had the earliest known agricultural-based society and would process grains into a coarse flour, from which they made a "small, pita-like, unleavened loaf cooked directly on the coals of a fire," Miller said.”

My Olive Oil Sourdough Loaf looks a wee bit different.

Cranes Spectrum Quilts Update -

Our Cranes Spectrum Update - Slowly, methodically our Red Cranes flock is growing. As the number increases, the “what-if we do this” to our quilts designs are tweaked, ever so slightly.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

Progress continues on the construction of the red Cranes Blocks. 5 of the 6 set of Cranes blocks have been completed.

Answer to question(s) - Andy and I are making 40 Cranes Quilts for our Cranes Spectrum. There are 6 sets, 3 sets representing 3 primary color shades; 3 set representing secondary colors. Each Cranes Quilt will be a unique Batik color. The Cranes Quilts will vary in size as will the size of the Crane blocks.

In addition to the 40 Cranes Quilts, we intend to create and present an additional 10+ Cranes. Also 3 friends are each creating a Crane creation for the Crane Project.

And why are we doing this? Check out our notes at our site Quilts SB - http://quiltsb.blogspot.com/

Any idea where to buy fresh ramps in Tampa? (No, not the boat type.)

Rule-out Whole Foods and The Fresh Market.



Last night supper I created a Creole Eggplant with Shrimp and Ham casserole.

Thumbs up.

Cranes Spectrum Quilts Update -

Slowly, methodically our Red Cranes flock is growing. As the number increases, the “what-if we do this” to our quilts designs are tweaked, ever so slightly.

And now I know I am going crazy, and just this side of bonkers. Last night was a dream about Cranes and hanging Cranes Quilts... Origami Cranes and calendar pages were flying in my dream...

L'Amérique -

The "paquebot", the boat the Brunhammers, Great Great Grandmother Marie and 6 of her 14 children, sailed on and made their eventual way from Alsace, France via Le Harve, to Philadelphia in the United States in 1876 on May 17, 142 years ago.

GG-Grandfather Jacques (Jacob) Brunhammer must have arrived a wee bit earlier in the last 3 months of 1875. The passenger manifests for October, November, and December of 1875 have disappeared. There is no copy at the Philadelphia National Archives. The family is all together, including the youngest 2 Harry and Joseph, in the 1880 US Census in Gloucester, New Jersey. They lived on Ridgeway Street. (If you search for the 1880 US Census, the surname was incorrectly entered in the 1930s Soundex records as "Preenharness". Ancestry entered the family as "Preenharness".)

Day 411 – (AD 1,573) – 23.8 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Yesterday I pedaled my Schwinn 170 23.8 miles. My totals are now 33,731.5 miles; 54,285.7 kilometers.

I am located at 39.89% to my new destination and goal point on Mars.

Something new and different –

When is the next US Census to be held?

I thought is was to be 2020?

I received a mailing for a US Census from the "United States Census Bureau". Initially I could not find out anywhere whether this is legit or not? https://respond.census.gov/acs/login

I called various departments including the US Census Bureau. It is legit.

It appears that these are done specifically to targeted areas throughout the years. Now it makes more sense why there were only 10 questions on the 2010 general survey.
