The boat tour on the lake at Camp Pennington. I quit after the first day in IL.
I don’t have to really remember anything. At the end of each day, I sit down and write a “letter” to my wife…yes, on paper with a pen! Every few days I stop at a post office and send them home. When I get home, I take the letters and use them to create all that stuff below in my signature line.
Back in the days of bike computers, I logged my miles as well as where I started and ended in a pocket calendar. I still do although not every day. Now I have a GPS unit that does the logging for me but I still transfer the mileage, time, average speed, and locations to my pocket calendar every few days. I have 36 of those silly pocket calendars in my files which seems silly. However, I have used them since during a photo scanning project. Came in handy to find exact dates and locations.
