Catch-up Report

[chillout]

Catching up from the last couple weeks.

Empty nest. It only took a week and a half for the robins to go from eggs to empty nest.

Mileage update. First chance to measure fuel economy on a long round trip. St. Louis to Boston and back. On the way out and empty, 26.0 mpg average with a high average of 26.4 mpg through New York. The return trip averaged 25.0 mpg with about 700 lbs of gear. Little wind and no air conditioning for the entire Monday to Thursday trip.

It's amazing how a new pair of shoes can make or break you. I have been buying the same boots from Pay less for close to 20 years. At some point they changed the quality or type of material used and a new pair of boots was killing my knees. Only I had no idea why my knees hurt so much. Since I spent most of my time in these boots it took a while to figure this out. I started using Dr. Scholls foot inserts and the pain went away quickly. I liked the feeling so much I started using them in other shoes and sneakers as well.

Achy knees are usually what tells me to check my shoes and then it shows in my heel wear. This time it threw me a curve ball.
