Glenn's Rehabilitation (after Foot Suck)

Oh, so you're rolling registration, pollution checks, safety checks, and insurance all into one. That makes is LESS BAD, but still...

 

Yes those things are combined, but the conclusion is that Australia is one of the most heavily Taxed places. I think we should Marching in the streets in protest but us Aussies are so laid back... " she'll be right mate " . " not much we can do about it eh " . I just wonder how far we can stretch before something breaks.
I have to quickly measure out approx meters of cable for my job... So a meter for me is the pinched thumb/forefinger outstretched on one arm to
The pinch thumb/forefinger against my furthest cheekbone.... Hey it works for me .
I would have said the meter is that reference bar in France, but since I looked it up... That flawed lump ( 0.2 mm error ) was a representation of the measurement. any other guesses?

 

Ask the question, what on Earth could it be?

 

Oh my rehab , I can walk again fairly well without crutches. Gets sore after a while , so I rest it. Only 9 days since foot suck , so must have been only slight strained ankle - I am very lucky.
Rode th trike 1 kilometre ( 6/10 mile ) last night & it felt good.
Will ride couple of miles tonight after it cools down ( 105 F day today ) to check new cleat alignment.

 

Hi Glenn,

Just take it easy, not reason to delay the healing by pushing it.

I see Glenn knows the answer.

A meter is the length from the North Pole to the equator divided by a ten million.

Here is more from Wikipedia

In 1668, Wilkins proposed using Christopher Wren's suggestion of a pendulum with a half-period of one second to measure a standard length that Christiaan Huygens had observed to be 38 Rijnland inches or 39 1⁄4 English inches (997 mm) in length.[3] In the 18th century, there were two favoured approaches to the definition of the standard unit of length. One approach followed Wilkins in defining the metre as the length of a pendulum with a half-period of one second, a 'seconds pendulum'. The other approach suggested defining the metre as one ten-millionth of the length of the Earth's meridian along a quadrant; that is, the distance from the Equator to the North Pole. In 1791, the French Academy of Sciences selected the meridional definition over the pendular definition because the force of gravity varies slightly over the surface of the Earth, which affects the period of a pendulum

 

I like the idea of the Pendulum. Its an easy experiment to set up any where.
I mean you could do it in Science class at school. Just a shame there was that variance in gravity , that really sucks- in a varied way.

Yes , I would hate to aggravate my ankle but so far seems fine. The ankle seems to get this slight burning feeling to tell me to rest it.
This arvo [ afternoon ] I got the trike up to 44 km/h [ 27 mph ].
A DF had passed me going up an incline and I had to catch up on the down...mmmmm
The ankle is getting better and so are my legs.

 

About 3 1/2 weeks now and is much better. The only time I get pain now is when I hit an unexpected rut in the road and it jars my foot. [ usually happens in morning in semi darkness]

Best ride yet this arvo returning from work. had slight tailwind [ 45 degrees behind me] 7 mph - first tail wind ever. Quickest time 1hr 6min 14 miles [ 23.3 km ] so 13 mph average - highest top speed today 35.5 mph [ 57 km/h ].
- Felt good being able to maintain some speed up the hills. belly 106 cm now [ 41.7 inch]
Just saying
