Foreflight wasn’t a thing when I started flying. It became more popular when I was instructing. It always amazes me how fast people will give up solid practices (sectional chart, plotter, E6B) for technology when an Ipad is only good as long as it has a battery. Not to mention apps get corrupted. Trying to teach a younger student how to use a sectional when they had an ipad was like pulling teeth. I

Nothing quite like navigating with nothing but a cue sheet and odometer.
Related: when I moved with my parents to Illinois from Texas I flew our Cub and my dad flew his Pitts. I did the majority of it using a line drawn on a few sectional charts and general pilotage techniques. Only used an iPad with Foreflight around the more complicated airspace regions. Certainly one of the more memorable things I've done in an airplane.

rain today. Wife works, so watching the little one. Hoping to get a decent zone 2 ride on the trainer at some point today but that might be difficult.
Wife wants her bike on the trainer tonight, which I am pretty stoked about. Would love to see her start riding again.

I don't have anything big planned. Looking at 7 days of riding with two off days for easy hiking and possibly some paddling in VT starting early June. Starting in Brattleboro and heading to the Northeast Kingdom then ultimately taking he train home from St. Albans.
Firs scheduled outing is to Lewes, DE for two days then up the coast to A.C. for the train home. Start would be the day before Good Friday. We have off that Friday so it saves me from burning a vacation day. I made my campsite reservation in Lewes last month. The place was nearly full for Easter weekend already.

It's funny looking at my old cue sheets. A lot of times instead of writing a left of right turn I would use cardinal directions. Made a lot of sense when I was riding on a grid. Down here there are no straight roads so that approach is useless

On my cue sheets for riding on crooked roads that mostly don't have street signs, I put the approximate compass bearing of the road I'm turning onto, that helps me reassure myself that I'm taking the correct turn, or I didn't miss a turn, etc.

Not easy to find a road that straight, and that flat, for as far as the eye can see, around this part of the country. Especially not in the Hudson Valley.

A gang of 8 juveniles hanging around with nothing to do in the human world would be trouble waiting to happen.
I love how they all automatically adhere to the standard personal spacing.

This morning I bought a box of 50 SS db spokes, 298mm, for US$25.
Celebrating with a slice of chocolate cake a la mode, with a cup of the best coffee in the city. It doesn't hurt to have extra.

Just came from the chiropractor. I can walk again, for now, at least. Getting an x-ray in a few minutes, and then another visit . I blame it on sleeping in hotel beds, in instead of my trusty hammock.
