I was a little nervous riding through that same section yesterday. It's near an old abandoned gravel mine and no one around...I rang my bell several times to let them know I was coming!

I have such a weird bike route. I start out in the country, get into the city, ride through niec neighborhoods, then the projects, then back into the remote country and a bunch of run down houses that look like meth heads live there! I was thinking yesterday, time for a new route! I am such a creature of habit. But exploring can be fun too!!
Download an app called “Komoot”, it’s the best one I’ve found so far for creating your own new routes, looking for routes in your area created by people around you, and the maps work better in offline mode than google or Apple Maps.

for instance, I just hiked the lost coast, so the almost zero cell service. But Komoot tracked me on the map the entire time, displaying landmarks around me the whole time.

it also tells you stuff like elevation gain and loss, distance, average speed, etc. a ton of cool stuff to track.

I have a hoot looking through the map and planning new routes. It takes a second to learn how to make it go exactly where you want it to go, but once you figure it out, it’s fantastic.

It’s a pretty kickass app, actually. I’m surprised more people don’t use it.

And I only use the free version.

Sweet! If you have any questions, let me know. Set it to bike mode and then go to the map and click on the red symbols to see places of interest.

Then, on the new screen it opens, click the blue circle with an arrow pointing to the right… it is above the “set as destination” button… that button shows you routes by other people that include that point of interest!

Woke up, smoked a joint, fed the plants, smoked another joint, gazed into the endless void of the internet for a couple hours, took 30 minutes to waterproof the living-room. After spending the last week of chizling out the wall, I took 3 turns with a wrench to repair a leak in the shower, then another 30 minutes to put the living-room a floor below said bathroom, back together. I'll tile it back up after a week of testing the shower plumbing.

Now I'm smokin a 3rd joint listening to some jazz, hoping I've achieved a bathroom that doesn't rain on my living-room.

"waterproof the living-room. "

Is this an annual or semi annual event?
