Beach - August 2014

Guess where ?

Schuylkill Canal Day - 2014

Festival today in Mont Clare for the Schuylkill Canal - at Lock 60.

Kayaking on the canal, walking on the tow path. Lots of pictures.

The Lock (both ends)

Lock tender's house and view from house:

At the dam - where the Schuylkill Canal flows into the Schuylkill River.

The blue signs says "no swimming, no fishing, no diving..."

We had lunch in Phoenixville, where Bridge St. looks a lot like Manayunk.

Bicycles on the Lawn

Actually, they're planters.

Their first day (last month). Have added flowers since then, waiting for them to grow.

Yes, they are different colors: one is teal and the other is periwinkle.

Make a Wristband for a Fitbit ONE.

My (dead) Fitbit One in the blue band, next to my new (but useless) Fitbit Flex (orange band).

After losing two Fitbits because they attach to your clothes, and after running or walking, i put my clothes into the washer and dryer... End of Fitbits......

I bought a Flex, which is nice, but doesn't tell the time, stairs, or how far i've walked.... if i walk beyond  my 'target', i have to synch to find out how far I've walked. Useless.  So, i looked for  wristband for the Fitbit One - can't find one.

So, i made one, using a Garmin vivofit replacement band and Sugru, and used a dead Fitbit One as the prototype.

Amazon sells Garmin vivofit replacement bands in sets of 3 (~ $24).

The opening on the band back to hold the vivofit is just a little larger than the Fitbit One:

So, I put the (dead) One into the slot, and molded Sugru to fill the gap.  When you bend the band backwards the One pops in and out.

Not the neatest molding job, but it just has to hold the One snugly.  The Sugru is the darker blue; it doesn't show from the front of the wristband.

Sea Girt, NJ

Drove 60+ miles to Sea Girt. And the corgi walked about 2 blocks.

Sea Girt lighthouse in the background....

Surfing in NJ is always wet suit season !!!

Ocean Grove, NJ

Finally took a trip to Ocean Grove, NJ. (Just south of Asbury Park).  Really amazing place - i think it has more original Victorian houses and rooming houses than Cape May.  Plus, the camp grounds and tents.


THE TENTS - Still in use and quite popular.

THE AUDITORIUM.........

THE BEACH - YES, IT HAS BEEN TAGS IN SEASON. 4-story Victorians along the park.
