solarbird | oh yeah, november 16th went by

November 16th, 2023, was the day I started logging biking miles per hundred on Mastodon. I didn’t check the odometer on the date this year, but it would’ve been around 2940, which means totalling 1,440 miles (2,317 km) in the previous 12 months.

That works out to about 28 miles/45 km a week or 120 miles/193 km per month.

That’s more than Anna and I put on our car combined, which exists pretty much entirely for certain cargo-carrying purposes. Not too bad.

The weather’s pretty good today. Cold, but clear and dry. I should run by the hardware store, pick up some copper and steel wool.

If you don’t know this already, copper is incredibly good for scrubbing oven racks, because it’s softer than the rack metal but harder than food, so it really cuts through whatever might’ve got baked on without scarring the metal underneath.

It is absolutely the best way to clean an oven or toaster rack is what I’m saying. I suspect that’ll be an important tip for some of you today, or tomorrow, depending upon how prompt you are about scrubbing up. 😀

Anyway, like I said, it’s a nice day. Let’s go bike.
