Measured either from Henry Street. Or, if I am being completely honest – Solano Ave a block from the BART overpass. In either case, I would up with an unplanned hike… I should have predicted the confusion. Avenue Yarns has an open knit gathering on Thursday evenings from 1700-1900. Ok. And the store closes right afterwards. George dropped me off with a promise to pick me up afterwards, then went on to a book signing on campus. He said it was 1800-1900.
See the challenge? We finished at 1900 and the shop closed. I attempted calling, and sent and text before heading out on foot. Up Solano Ave on foot. Checking maps now – it looks like only 2.2 miles with Apple & Google predicting about an hour due to the hill there continuing through a tunnel, walking along Henry which was when George called with a bijillion excuses about a late start and it taking time to get back to the car. I suggested that he just do his own thing since I was already heading up the hill. I also checked in with Noah and requested that, since he was walking home from work, that he wait for me at Eunice & Spruce (this is five or so blocks straight up, and a bit under ½ the elevation).
So there I am, waiting on the corner, and, not to my surprise, George drives up with Noah. And, since I was more than a little tired with a good amount of elevation to still conquer, I accepted the ride. Especially since this morning included an Odark30 drive into the SFVA, a fun time sitting in a dental chair for a crown prep, a COVID booster and not as bad as it could have been drive back.
On the crafting front – I have two of three skeins of yarn into a shawl for Miriam and am at 66% on a cross stitch present.
