10,000

[da]

My bike odometer just rolled past 215 miles, which means it's gone a total of 6,215 since I put the odometer on the bike nearly exactly 9 years ago. As melted_snowball pointed out, that's 10,000 kilometers, so I'm going to reset to kilometers.

I wonder where the next 10k will take us.

Tomorrow, I'm off to IAD (Dulles) and ROA (Roanoke) thence to Virginia Tech for Friends Gathering. This year, as last year, I'm not taking a workshop, as I'm helping out the community instead. The week promises to be very full, very warm (Virginia! Summer! Oy.) and hopefully with surprises of the good kind.

Welcome to metric!

It's funny, I'm mostly metric (being Canadian) except when it comes to height (I'm 5'10", don't ask me how many cm it is, but google will tell you) and beer making (I'm getting worried that the basement hit 73F yesterday, and even though the thermometer down there has both F and C scales, I have to do real calculation to find out what that is in "real world temperatures".)

Funny how those disconnected scales of reference can exist.

Yeah, it's interesting where the imperial holdouts are. For me, they consist of the following:

Height (I'm 6'3")
Weight (215lbs)
Depth (130' is maximum no-deco depth when diving)
Water temperature (78F is comfy without gloves or hood, 43F is icy)
Cooking (cups, tsp, tbsp, oz)
Construction (inches and feet, baby. We buy 2x4's, not 5x10's)

Anyway, congrats on your 10 megametre achievement!
