A short time ago, I decided that I needed to find, excluding franchises, which restaurant has the best southern fried chicken in the Tampa Bay area. At that time, we tried RyRy’s Chicken and Waffles on 30th Street in Tampa. This is our target standard.

This Friday afternoon, Andy and I and MC went to Southern Fresh at 122 3rd Ave, North in Safety Harbor. This our 3rd restaurant.

Please note, and I will repeat this, please note, this is simply our own opinion.

This is only our opinion.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

Part 1 of our quilting process, quilt outlining of every single Crane.

4 have been completed; 2 more to go. And yes, this does take some time.

Answers -

There are many images available on the Internet. It appears that many other quilters have done the same.

Originally, we downloaded one and created an equivalent paper-pieced pattern. It took us about 3 hours to create one paper-pieced block.

We then designed a fabric cutter die for ourselves in conjunction with AccuQuilt. It now takes us approximately 15-20 minutes to piece the fabric pieces and construct a Crane block. We have created 6-; 5-; 4-; and 3- inch blocks.

The purpose of our task is to create the Hope - Cranes Quilt - Project. Andy and I are not intending or expecting on making any financial gain from our Project.

Wondering that too, too many uneducated and illogical persons have crawled out from under their rocks and threaten a further degradation to the current political system.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

The top for # 22.40 has been completed.

All 6 quilts of the Green Set of our Cranes Spectrum have been prepped to make the quilts sandwiches. Tops, backing, and batting are ready. Next step, the pinning.

Now comes the decision of creating the quilt design patterns. We will attempt to create unique quilting designs for each of the 6 quilts of the Green Set. Hopefully, we will not repeat any of the designs we worked for the first 18 quilts of the Red, Orange, and Yellow Sets.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

The top for Cranes Quilt # 19.40 has been completed. The 1-inch border has been attached.

Check out the superimposition of Cranes Quilt # 23.40 on top of #19.40. The difference in sizes of the Crane blocks is apparent; 3-inch on top of 5-inch, respectively.

There's one more top remaining of the Green Set to construct.

Answer(s) -

All colored Cranes are pieced batik fabrics from SewBatik in North Dakota. (https://www.facebook.com/SewBatik/)

Days 509 & 510 – (AD 1,669) – 24.3 + 23.8 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Yesterday morning I pedaled 24.3 miles on my Schwinn 170. This morning I cycled another 23.8 miles. Totals are now 36,029.3 miles; 57,983.6 kilometers.

I am now continuing to my new destination Gordii Dorsum. I am located at 92.39%.

Yesterday and today, 6 bottles of bleach, a push broom, and plenty of water.

As the humidity has been extremely high this summer, this is the 3rd time that I have either bleached or pressure-washed the pool deck.

Later this week, the driveway, the walkway, the sidewalks, and the street gutter. 3rd time.

And you never know when the gods are smiling down on you.

Two years ago, I sent an image of my bloodied knees where I had fallen, when walking The Pack at a point in the sidewalk where the cement blocks had risen about 2 inches.

They promised that the fix job would be scheduled for October 2018.

And lo and behold, it is October 1st, 2018. And the County Services are here to fix the sidewalks.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

The top of Cranes Quilts # 23.40 is completed and composed of 3-inch Crane blocks. A 1-inch border has been attached.

All-things-being-equal # 23.40's dimensions will be approximately 25" wide and 25" long.

Answers -

The 40 Cranes Spectrum quilts will be composed of 3", 4", 5", or 6" blocks.

Each individual Crane Quilt will contain Crane blocks of the same size. For example, # 23.40 Crane blocks are each 3-inch square.

Every one of the 40 Cranes Quilts will be composed of Cranes blocks that are a unique color and created from batik fabrics.

Some of the 40 Cranes Quilts will include white-on-white Crane blocks.

The tops of our Crane Quilts # s 24.40 and 20.40 of the Green Set are just about complete. We're trying something new, for us, with # 24.40 (top image).

# 24.40 - 6" Crane blocks; # 20.40 - 4".

Placement of the Crane blocks in each of our Crane Quilts all carry, if not obvious, a subtle "construction message".
