Apparently this is a must read for professional aviators.

I don’t have a helmet to put in here. I hope that’s ok.
Swimpruf Ballast Mug
Love this mug from Jason’s new venture. In fact, everything in his shop can be added to this list.

I love my multicolor BIC pen but this dresses things up nicely.

Move your Evernote Journal into Day One
This is not an overly easy task. Julian Kramer’s guide was a great help but in the end, I had to change my approach.
Note: This post is not a guide. Because it was not fun and I don’t want anyone else to have to do it. But if you combine Julian’s guide and my notes, you should be able to figure it out.
By signing up for Diaro Pro through the Android phone, I was able to just pay $4.99 USD for a year. Signing up through the desktop/web, it wanted something like $11.99 USD as a one-time payment I believe. I just opted for the cheaper.
I exported my Evernote entries as a .enex file to then import into Diaro but the Diaro importer on the web kept giving me an error. So I took a break from that.
In the Android app for Day One, I noticed my iPhone/Mac journals weren't syncing over. Looking into it, Day One Android doesn't support End to End encryption and I got an error/message stating as much from the Day One Android app.
At the end of the day, Day One doesn't even support the Android app anymore.
What ended up working...
Exported Evernote notes as an .enex file (made sure to tag* them all with what I wanted the DayOne journal to be named)
Uploaded the .enex file to Dropbox from my computer desktop.
From the Android phone, downloaded .enex from Dropbox to the phone's internal storage.
Imported entries into Diaro from Evernote (pulling from phone storage).
It was 1,890 entries, so it took a little bit to sync with Diaro. When complete, I saw the sync with Diaro on the web.
In Diaro Android app, I enabled a backup file in Dropbox.
Opened the Day One Android app, imported from Diaro (.zip). This took a while to complete. When finished, I had a new Journal in Day One Android named "Diaro".
This did not sync with Day One Mac or iOS so I exported the journal as JSON and emailed to myself.
Then downloaded the JSON to my Mac. I renamed the file to what I wanted the journal to be named.
From the Day One Mac app, imported the JSON .zip and it imported all of the notes correctly.
Done.
*The tag I made in Evernote before exporting the .enex, I don't think I needed that. Or maybe I would've needed it if I exported multiple notebooks at once. I just did an individual notebook.

P.S. I don’t ever want to do that again.

Now that I think of it, I need ALL of the Peanuts Timex watches.

Moots Womble
There’s so much nostalgia wrapped up in the Womble trail and I thank Domeck for that. I cut my teeth on that trail and this bike would just be a dream to hit singletrack with.
Pan American Airlines Boeing 314 Yankee Clipper Painting
My wife and I are huge fans of the Pan Am Clipper and the gorgeous history of aviation that it represents. We would be fortunate to have this hanging on our wall and if I ever win the lottery (can you win even if you don’t play?) I’m going to buy one of these and travel the world.
YouTube CERTIFIED Master Automobile Technician Patch
This hits way too close to home. I’ve fixed many problems thanks to YouTube and I’m not ashamed of it. Huge thanks to everyone posting solutions for the BMW E39 and misc. first gen Tundra quirks.
