Quote from rhjanes: “I had two busted lawn gear. I did the yard on Friday because of RAIN due Saturday. My blower, the ignitor (coil) gave up. It was just $20 more to replace it. They replaced the fuel lines in my string trimmer. I got almost done trimming, hit the head to release more string and....the head (plastic) started coming apart. Dang thing is only about 10 years old! Cheap plastic..(JK). I finished up and bought a new string head. ” and the old guy says "they just don't make things li…

welcome to the cafe

PostThe company I retired from put me in for the Fedeal Aviation Administration's Master Mechanic award. They also presented me with a gold plated ratchet wrench engraved with my name and " Master Mechanic". I wish I had worked for them longer than I did, it's a good place to work.

Hiking & Biking
PostToday was a beautiful day, mid 60s, little breeze, blue sky and bright sun. We took our bicycles out and did a leisurely 10.24 miles. Very enjoyable! Pretty much just the opposite of Race Across America.

Hiking & Biking
PostI've seen videos of Race Across America before. It's amazing what the participants put themselves through. I guess it's like what people do to attempt a FKT on any of the long trails.

Took a walk today
PostToday it was 5.75 miles around a lake in a local county park. While I didn't take any photos we saw several kinds of water fowl, ducks, swans, geese, as well as osprey, wood peckers and other birds. All kinds of plants are starting to bloom as spring sets in. Today was in the low 50s with a 15 MPH wind. The wind made it feel chilly when we stopped walking but it was warm enough when we were moving. I'm starting to think I should start keeping track of our mileage.

Quote from odd man out: “There were reports of Snow Geese in an industrial park in Zeeland, so we went to find them. If we failed, it would have been a figurative wild goose chase. But we did find them, making it a literal wild goose chase.appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…bc25c8c8ee4bd135c5e38d581 ” Good looking birds.

Took a walk today
PostYesterday we went to the next town over to walk. It's an old town with many houses from the 1800s that overlook the harbor. Also it has a number of pretty good hills. From the top of one we had a good view of Connecticut, across the Long Island Sound. I was looking for Coach Lou and Elf but didn't see them

PostQuote from max.patch: “Quote from Astro: “Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from rhjanes: “Quote from LIhikers: “Today is gonna be a zero because of the rain. I guess I prove Matt-C's point. ” I checked Matt-C's YouTube. He's got a recent post about someone. It's talking about that dog that has been posted as missing on the AT, in Facebook 2024 hiker groups. ” Knucklehead Angry Guy is ranting about Ramdino, who's kind of become the news reporter for the AT on YouTube. And once again showing how little…

Hiking & Biking
PostKathy and I went for a ride today in a hilly section of town. And don't you know the bikes shifting wasn't working right, I couldn't get into lower gears. A quick adjustment at home should have that fixed. So we only road a little over 9 miles. I also took the toe clips off and now need to get different pedals. I'm staying away from what is called "clipless" pedals. Think I'll get some MKS pedals with a regular cage.

Quote from rhjanes: “Texas is still iffy. IF the thicker clouds stay near the coast on their way up, to central and north Texas, we get some partial views. IF the thin clouds stay, we might get some views. IF....IF.....There is rain but not until after the eclipse. ” Life is full of uncertainty and "ifs"

Earthquake
PostForget about the upcoming eclipse, did anybody else feel the earthquake this morning. We were sitting in a funeral home and the whole place began to rumble and shake. Evidently the quake was centered in NJ , a little west of NYC and was a 4.7 on the Richter scale. Now that was cool since no real damage was done.

BMT>AT>Cohos Trail
PostQuote from hikerboy: “The plan begins today. Taking Amtrak to Gaineville, Ga, gets in Thursday 7:25 am. I had bought a coach seat for $165 (private rooms started at $615, which I wasn't going to spend) A few days ago, I received an upgrade option where you place a bid starting from $160 to $615 to upgrade to a roomette, which has a bed and a private toilet. I put in a bid for the minimum $160, and a few hours later got an email that my bid was accepted. So at least I'll have a bit of privacy and…
