<iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" src="http://jfact0ry.com/maps/medvejie/index.html" width="100%">Medvejie Half-Marathon</iframe></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Click the marker repeatedly! It is inspired by Warcraft 3. In the game, when you would select the character you wanted to make do something, it would have a standard response, if you did nothing but click the character over and over it would eventually give different responses, and it was like a little reward for persevering through repetitive clicking. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The marker moves at the rate of 1 second = 1 minute. I want to put a stopwatch on top of the map so one could see the cumulative time. I don't know exactly how to do that though. There is something like it here <a href="https://www.mapbox.com/blog/playback-the-iditarod-with-turf/" target="_blank">https://www.mapbox.com/blog/playback-the-iditarod-with-turf/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So about the run, the weather was great and there was a good turn out. The run is officially called the Medvejie Solstice Run. There are three options of distances. You can run a 5k, 10k, or half-marathon. I signed up to do the Alpine Run this year, which is an intense run up Gavan Hill and around the ridge to Harbor Mountain. I signed up for the Medvejie half-marathon to make sure I'm on track with being in shape for the Alpine run. It was a fun run, so I'm glad I signed up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You start at Herring Cove trailhead and from there you go along the service road that is closed to public and only for people working at the Medvejie Hatchery or at the Green Lake dam. Hikers often take this road on foot or bicycle to access Bear Mountain trails, Medvejie Lake trail, and a couple of other trails. When we crossed the island we avoided the long walk/bike down this road by getting a boat ride directly to Medvejie Hatchery.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The race continues on this hilly, dirt road until reaching the very very end of the road at the Green Lake dam. You cannot see the dam or the lake from this end of the road. And then you turn around and head back.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My time was 1:48. My best mile was the 11th mile at 7'48". These were my splits.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I modeled my fedora with Autodesk's free app and program 123D Catch. You can use it on your iPhone or Android or you can upload photos through their website. It takes the photos and creates a 3D model. The 3D mesh often has errors but I use it as a base and then 3D model around it. I used Blender.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This fedora came from Cuba, a trip in March of 2014.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is the 3D model:</span></span><br />

I learned how to embed maps so here is a map!<iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" src="http://jfact0ry.com/maps/crossingtheisland/index.html" width="100%">Crossing the Island</iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">EDIT: I've removed the line that was our path from the map. The reason is that there have been people attempting this hike without being fully prepared and had to get rescued, the same party involved, on multiple occasions. The chance of someone finding my map and using it as a guide without preparing in full is slim, but there is that possibility. And I have had a co-worker stumble upon this blog just by Googling 'kayaking alaska', so I wouldn't want someone to find my map and attempt the hike without talking to someone in person about it first. There will be a fully interactive map and story soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
The faint white line is our flight path on the return. The pilot was taking us straight across the island but we hit a wall of clouds before reaching the other side of the island and then he took us north to the very tip of Baranof.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
The blue line that you'll find on Baranof Lake is our path when we were canoeing on the lake. I should say when Jasmine and Ellen were canoeing, I was just sitting there trying to check-in on my phone. Haha. Also, I was trying to stay warm. There were only 2 paddles so I didn't have much of a choice. Although, it did feel like King day all over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
Soon, I plan on adding images to this map. Ellen, Jasmine, and I will first have to share pictures and that hasn't happened yet.</span>Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15289608971815230208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116163998373026203.post-64421856929183761642014-09-14T11:18:00.001-08:002014-09-25T22:45:59.839-08:00Four years later: I saw DenaliFour years after my trip to Denali national park, I revisited and this time i saw The Tall One!<br />

My friend that lives in Fairbanks but used to live in Sitka won the car lottery. A select number of people are given permits to drive into the park where normally vehicles are prohibited and access is limited to buses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As the day progressed and we got farther into the park, the weather got better and we were cheering on Denali to show its face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We saw one bear really close, we saw some dall sheep from a distance, and we saw a moose at the very end of the day. I had to look again at my old photos from 2010 and I was surprised to see how green it was that time of the year. </div>

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, I again had to move it from the place I was working on it because I was too optimistic about the time schedule and my availability. I moved the shell of the boat first in the daytime. And I had moved the frame outside of the building so I could move it whenever was a good time. Well, I was dishwashing some nights (in addition to my day job) and after a night of dishwashing it felt like the right time to go and move my kayak frame. Not long after I took the picture shown above, the cops stopped me on the bridge, made me set the kayak frame down and questioned me if I had been drinking, if I had broken in somewhere. I was laughing but they did not find any of it funny. I shared the picture of the newspaper with my family and they thought I was maybe the guy sleeping in the 200 block of Katlian so I had to blur out everything else.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, that's my kayak update!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd update more but then I would probably never finish this post. So last thing is, I have a Flickr account. I've lost photos before when I thought I was backing them up and on Flickr you can upload 1 Terabyte of photos for free! So check it out if you want, I keep it updated sorta regularly.</span></div>

The first day the four of us were not together. Ellen and Jasmine were the ones that were ready to go; Julien and I still had some things to pack up. I hadn't finished my kayak (as you know) so I ended up borrowing my friend Paul's, who is Julien's brother. Julien was in town visiting from Paris, France. While he was in town he made tons of amazing art.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">On May 7th, Ellen and Jasmine left for Kruzof Island. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kruzof is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the big island 7 miles West of Baranof Island and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">is home to Mt. Edgecumbe, the volcano that is pictured at the top of this blog. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7 miles is actually from where the two islands are closest, Ellen and Jasmine left from Totem Park which is about 12 miles from the coast of Kruzof. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As they paddled, Julien and I finished up our things. I had to move out of my apartment. I was living in an apartment that is used for church volunteers. I played the organ for church and was doing so voluntarily so I qualified. However, there are summer volunteers that come up to Sitka and stay about 2 weeks and make the church welcome to tourists Monday through Friday. Those volunteers needed a place to stay so I had to vacate! I moved all my belongings into the career center where I had an office or two.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ellen and Jasmine made it Kruzof. We heard that much from them. We tried to keep cell phone use limited since there were no more opportunities to charge them. Julien and I left for the Chaichei Islands. We left from a spot closer to Kruzof than the girls and the Chaichei Islands are about 3/8 of the way there so we had a nice little early evening paddle.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I fulfilled a goal on the Chaichei Islands. I drank Chai Tea while doing Tai Chi on the Chaicheis. I had talked about it and I was able to fulfill it on the trip. However, I sorta pretended to do Tai Chi.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Today I am leaving on a kayaking trip with 3 other friends. I was hoping to finish building my kayak and even have time to test it out but things just didn't go as quickly as a procrastinating optimist would expect them to. So... I was approaching the fiberglass step, I got all ready for it... but then it was clear that I would be late and left behind from the trip. After the trip I will go visit family in Idaho and see my sister get married. Then I will return to Sitka, find some kind of job and finish the kayak.</span><br />

I cut the planks into 3/8" strips on the table saw.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then, Dan and I were running the strips through the planer and it broke, the rollers were jammed and nothing was getting through.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The strips sat awhile. I took the planer apart, found the broken sprocket, it looked porous so I thought I'd give it a shot and super-glue it. One board went through, but then it broke on the second one. Online the specific sprocket was back-ordered till April. A couple weeks went by and my friend Greg, a construction professor over at UAS, offered to help and said I could use the planer at the university. Three days of planing in between 3:30 and 5:00 pm then I had </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">192 1/4" thick Western Red Cedar strips at twelve feet long and 3/4" wide.</span><br />

Work on the kayak took a break for the weekend. Instead, I made key lime pies and went to the movies. There was also a Monthly Grind, I didn't perform but I did help on stage. Pictured below is where the kayak progress is at right now. I accidentally cut the strongback a foot too short. So I'm gonna run to the lumber store, pick up another 16-footer, and run and carry it back here. So, yes, quite literally "run to the store" and "pick up."</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I'll just have to tell <i>you</i> all the stories I have when I see you next.<br />
<br />
This summer I made the drawings for the kayak. In Nick Schade's book he gives a table of offsets and from that you can make an x and y scatter plot. I saved the x and y scatter plot as a script file and then imported it in to AutoCAD. I don't own AutoCAD but I sure got a good use out of the 30-day trial. I had a cool picture of the kayak drawn up in AutoCAD but I think it disappeared when my Windows 30-day trial was up. Apparently, I didn't save it onto the Macintosh half of my hard-drive. Well, after spending lots of time trying to perfect the drawings I had them printed off at a local civil engineering firm. I was so curious as to how close my drawings were to the real thing that I couldn't resist purchasing the real plans to compare. I'm glad I did because there were a number of differences. Mine are on the right and the real ones are on the left.<br />

The lumber mill that it came from had quite a fire this summer. Fortunately, everyone was okay and their business survived. I was going to build out by my apartment but Karen offered that I could build in her building! She said she didn't want to see me go from the building and that maybe a class from the high school next door might be interested in seeing the kayak's progress.

This was one of the things in September that kept me from any kayak-building progress. I had agreed to perform way back in the summer when writing two new songs* seemed like something that I had all the time in the world to do. September was fast fading, especially with the Klondike run and the church bell-ringing (I'll explain that one later). And I had two people that I had asked to play with me who were wanting to practice with me. It's a little hard to practice songs when they haven't been written. Anyway, where I'm going with this is... as the end of September approached, all my focus was on writing two songs. This one I will share with you is very goofy. Please excuse the few mistakes in the song. <br />

*I certainly didn't have to write two new songs just for this event, but it is my goal to do it that way. I could do covers, but I think they are best left to people that can actually sing really well and are good performers. I could do a song I've already written but I had already played my best ones so something new is what's left.Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15289608971815230208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116163998373026203.post-75101791032784748132010-10-20T00:55:00.001-08:002010-11-03T01:21:47.571-08:00Mt. Verstovia got some snow<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I learned something recently (from my friend Paul) that I appreciate knowing. You will often hear Mt. Verstovia called Arrowhead, because the tip of it resembles an arrowhead. And if you call it Arrowhead, you will often be corrected and told, "Arrowhead is actually about 2 miles that way," as the person points. So why is there a mountain that is not given much attention the one that actually gets to be named Arrowhead? Because a cartographer didn't like one mountain having two names: Arrowhead and Verstovia. So this cartographer moved the name Arrowhead to arbitrary peak, and that has led to much confusion and annoying corrections I'm sure. Now that you know that, I will share some pictures.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDttFpCotMJtJ55JHUbrJRcHhA9I0qci7xF-bpbHfSeDGtlFpkv_HG8Odix2wouiAxtC9WYiCjUymAXvElklqw-6k2HwAStdSLdw9liIXvJFbS51xWHqJxFqfsDvgUPNh9w0LdA4jfXs/s1600/IMG_0368.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDttFpCotMJtJ55JHUbrJRcHhA9I0qci7xF-bpbHfSeDGtlFpkv_HG8Odix2wouiAxtC9WYiCjUymAXvElklqw-6k2HwAStdSLdw9liIXvJFbS51xWHqJxFqfsDvgUPNh9w0LdA4jfXs/s400/IMG_0368.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOMzLWXKQ1MuuGFGl2fqxsM3dRVNdBbcn54o8AnzQT2FSeYJDuDXFi3sb9-Wxd18_0gxjd6ZQp7Q2ZidYh4khbg2H0lnwb-9JtfevRx_qWMK7gnG6AXpO9C9lw146Y87rGKX-GC1l2Dw/s1600/IMG_0409.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOMzLWXKQ1MuuGFGl2fqxsM3dRVNdBbcn54o8AnzQT2FSeYJDuDXFi3sb9-Wxd18_0gxjd6ZQp7Q2ZidYh4khbg2H0lnwb-9JtfevRx_qWMK7gnG6AXpO9C9lw146Y87rGKX-GC1l2Dw/s400/IMG_0409.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJtKs4PBxnx5Ac6phZccaNmXd4lR4c9du0zeVmS5n35W1YwpR0hYTordU2sWswRoePkbS6o73VVt8LAVGm5dmKotDq1j80e_GX6sv9H-GkjuPRdujjmBKa5K2S7XGVn53z-2D4TqIrnzM/s1600/IMG_0376.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJtKs4PBxnx5Ac6phZccaNmXd4lR4c9du0zeVmS5n35W1YwpR0hYTordU2sWswRoePkbS6o73VVt8LAVGm5dmKotDq1j80e_GX6sv9H-GkjuPRdujjmBKa5K2S7XGVn53z-2D4TqIrnzM/s400/IMG_0376.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RipcyLh3bzGXqlEgJCEJ0_wDV6e7NLN9jXDLJ8Mgh5HXr6enXYrLf0zSY5FBPacywtUDhysRNpfz4zBLXrYKaq2NjbrWCqOaB4Ek8FdAYJsUhQYjLMAdWHlvXHJf4ZdOX_cZIeKgKwk/s1600/IMG_0360.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RipcyLh3bzGXqlEgJCEJ0_wDV6e7NLN9jXDLJ8Mgh5HXr6enXYrLf0zSY5FBPacywtUDhysRNpfz4zBLXrYKaq2NjbrWCqOaB4Ek8FdAYJsUhQYjLMAdWHlvXHJf4ZdOX_cZIeKgKwk/s400/IMG_0360.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15289608971815230208noreply@blogger.com0
