Chris and AJ are back and getting back into the swing of things! And now it's TIME (get it?) to tackle a topic near and dear to Chris' heart...Productivity!

AJ and Chris continues with their Urban Hiker Grand Tour, while going back to 1986 going Mach 2 with their hair on fire. From Spokane, to Lummi Island, and a hidden trail here in Bellingham- it is time to kick the tires and light the fires for this episode of the Bellingham Podcast. ChrisComing soon to Bellingham...a new hiking trail with a spectacular view of Bellingham Bay. Your trail scavenger hunt starts at Lakeway Drive. Go up Puget Street, left on Consolidation, right on Racine. Your journey starts at the dead end of Racine. It's not stroller-friendly, and it goes uphill for a while, so be aware. This not-quite-manicured urban trail crests at this view with a lot of harvested tree limbs littering the ground:Follow the dots from this weekendThis weekend Chris had a couple of hours free to himself, so he curated his ultimate 80s pop/rock playlist. Over 200 songs. From the days of his youth. Lots of those songs happened in 1986. This is Episode 86. So what happened to Chris and AJ in 1986?Chris 8th grader. Top Gun and Ferris Bueller were the top movies. Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet and Madonna's True Blue were top albums that year. Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy.

AJ and Chris continues with their Urban Hiker Grand Tour, while going back to 1986 going Mach 2 with their hair on fire. From Spokane, to Lummi Island, and a hidden trail here in Bellingham- it is time to kick the tires and light the fires for this episode of the Bellingham Podcast.

Go up Puget Street, left on Consolidation, right on Racine. Your journey starts at the dead end of Racine. It's not stroller-friendly, and it goes uphill for a while, so be aware. This not-quite-manicured urban trail crests at this view with a lot of harvested tree limbs littering the ground:Follow the dots from this weekendThis weekend Chris had a couple of hours free to himself, so he curated his ultimate 80s pop/rock playlist.

Rather than using a dedicated winding bridge to locate the lever, the 7s26 family locates it with a brass bushing on one side and the rachet wheel on the other. The keyless works (https://www.watch-wiki.net/index.php?title=Keyless_works&action=edit&redlink=1) have been relocated from the top plate to the bottom plate, making it easier to service these components from the back plate rather than removing the entire works.” Chris ModsWho to check out* DLW https://www.dlwwatches.com/ * Ebay seller - watchtimeco http://stores.ebay.com/watchtimeco* Bay Engraving (Bellingham) http://www.bayengraving.com/*Toxic Natos! https://www.toxicnatos.com/ AJ ModsWho to check out* Crystaltimes Horology https://crystaltimes.net/ * One Second Closer https://one-second-closer.com/ (ebay- http://stores.ebay.com/One-Second-Closer)Interested in mods- see AJ's full write up!http://bit.ly/seikomodsquad Carson Loup: practical loop to help see what you are modding 4.5x is a good starter : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012H11CQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Connect*AJ*: patreon.com/ajbarse (http://patreon.com/ajbarse) or follow on Instagram (http://instagram.com/ajbarse) @ajbarse AND an all new www.ajbarse.com (http://www.ajbarse.com/)*Chris*: mnmltek.micro.blog (https://mnmltek.micro.blog/) or chrispowell.co (http://www.chrispowell.co/)*Twitter Hashtags*: #bhampodcast and #quietconversationListenIf you're in the Bellingham area, be sure to listen to our show on KMRE 102.3 FM (http://www.kmre.org/bellingham-podcast-media-tech/) Thursdays @ 9:00 am and Saturdays @ 1:30 pm.TalkGot a question about technology or anything else about life in Bellingham?
