Day 468 – (AD 898) – 22.1 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Cooking and on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Still recouping from some sort of mild croup and summer flu…but I had to continue on my pedaling and try to sweat out whatever the ailment. Oh and by the way I figure that the best, for me that is, whenever I have one of these fully congested colds and things, is the Bob Evans Chicken N Noodles Soup.

This morning I cycled another 22.1 miles on my Schwinn 170. My marked totals are: 18,825.4 miles; 30,296.6 kilometers.

I changed my route somewhat toward my final destination. I veered south east and I am now located on what looks like an unpaved road – Bombah Point Road. It’s at Bombah Point in New South Wales.

Just how many more days do we have until Election Day? And we will have to put up with the name-calling and the pure crap…all in an effort to spin the votes. Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press writes it well in his headline “Donald Trump leads poll, but boredom is winning”. Another 16 months of this garbage. “It’s July — of 2015! The election isn’t for another 16 months. You want to know how long 16 months is in the American attention span?...Five billion? To elect a leader? Who will then tell us how he or she plans to be fiscally responsible?”

Early morning blood sugar count registered at 102 mg/dL. Could have been a combination of the flu-bug and a sizable helping of what definitely tasted like comfort food. Gnocchi with Zucchini, Sausage, Tomato, Red Pepper, Onion, and Garlic, topped with a bit of grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese.

I began an endeavor to make Cincinnati Goetta. And while I’m figuring out that recipe I am making Loaves #9 – Cranberry, and #10 – A Whole Wheat Variation.

Remember that ya’ll need to call first to make some reservations.

And our quilt work update, yes the house still looks like a sweat shop… Quilt in the ditch begins the design for Roo Royale.

Day 467 – (AD 897) – 22.2 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – 1 ½ % Remaining on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Moving much slower this morning, and because I am getting so close to the end of my 10,000+ mile journey and Trek I cannot, I am certain that I will not take a day off from pedaling. I am now just being my normal pig-headed self. And so I pedaled 22.2 miles today on my Schwinn 170. My totals – 18,803.3 miles; 30,261.0 kilometers.

And to date I have pedaled a total of 10,186.2 miles as part of Jim’s Trek III, the Australia part. I am headed west now and I am at Lot 31 on The Lakes Way in Mayers Flat, New South Wales.

Countdown – 160 miles. 1 ½ % of my trip is left.

That’s it for this post.

Day 466 – (AD 896) – 22.5 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Yup, on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning, with the aches of a summer bug of sorts, I pedaled 22.5 miles on my Schwinn 170. Almost didn’t get on my cycle and of course I had to check my biorhythm cycles. As I’ve written before I do not hold with a day-to-day following of these cycles…but sure enough my Physical and Intellectual cycles are headed in a downward direction. But by hell or high-water, I am going to finish Part III of this bloody Trek.

And today I am located on The Lakes Way in Forster, New South Wales. As I am headed south I’ve got Wallis Lake on my right and the Pacific Ocean on the left. I borrowed one beautiful vista image by BananaDoctor of the Seven Mile Beach, on Google Maps.

I may have added a few more miles to the final leg of my Trek. I now have 181 more miles to go to get to my final destination.

And so my healing lunch(es) for some time, Chicken flavored ramen and Ginger-Ale, but of course not mixed.

And since my Intellectual cycle is also on the downward spiral...enough written.

But the good news is that my fasting blood sugar registered at 90.

The blue line is my moving A1c forecast.

Day 465 – (AD 895) – 23.1 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Still on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Today, another 23.1 miles on my Schwinn 170. Totals – 18,758.6 miles; 30,189.1 kilometers.

I’m back on A1/Pacific Highway and located in the area of Koorainghat in New South Wales. Countdown = 187 miles.

Short to the point today.  Thursday's my volunteer day at the Family History Center.  Today is pedaling, bread, and genealogy. Period.

Loaf #8, I added a ½ cup of dried cranberries and replaced the 1 ½ cups of water with 1 ½ cups of Cranberry Juice.

Slice of à La Hemp and Cranberry with Canadian Cheddar. Excellent.

Day 464 – (AD 894) – 23.1 Miles – Jim's Trek Part III – Soap-boxing on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

This morning I cycled 23.1 miles on my Schwinn 170. I have now racked up a total of 18,735.5 miles; 30,151.9 kilometers.

I am still traveling southwest and today I am located at Koolyangarra Way. My countdown clock has stopped at 210 miles.

I believe I have found the starting point of the beginning of Jim’s Trek Part IV. You’ll just have to wait and see. And-all-things-being-equal my podiatrist will not be slicing open me foot-bottom none too soon.

No-Knead Bread, à la Hemp; Loaf #7 before and after…before the real after.

No-Knead Bread, à la Hemp - Before

No-Knead Bread, à la Hemp - After

Early morning blood sugar count dropped 22 points to 91. Supper included Italian Salami Fried Rice and Stir-fried Zucchini with Mushrooms and Onions. And of course a bowl of ice-cream.

And the subject of my soapbox, the Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church, Inc. .

Letters from the Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church (don’t forget the Inc.) have been issued to their “delinquent” members. That’s right, an attending parishioner of the Greater Mount Moriah Primitive Baptist Church received a letter dated July 2, 2015 highlighted to the “Subject: Financial Delinquency”. Yup, she had not paid her dutiful tithes, her responsibilities, her obligations, her prescribed contributions…

And obviously this church, I would think a 501c3 organization, reviews "your financial contribution record" and assesses/requests/requires/demands "the amount needed to retain your membership."  I’m sure this is a new and warped and abridged interpretation of Matthew 19:14, and of Matthew 5:3.
