| Setting and picking up controls for the Fresh Pond park-o. The forecast was for severe thunderstorms, but it wasn't actually raining when I left to go set controls, so I figured I would give it a try and see if anyone showed up. It started drizzling as I started setting controls and rapidly changed to a torrential downpour. I could only see about 20ft. in front of me, and I was completely soaked. It was pretty warm, though, so it was actually a lot of fun. A golfer who was escaping the rain thought that I was carrying around diving signs, which I guess would have been appropriate for the weather. Goggles might have been helpful :-).
People did actually end up showing up, which was good, and it didn't actually rain when the park-o was in progress. There was a man-made feature that I had put a control on, which was in the wrong place on the map. I was in a rush setting controls and just found the man-made object and put a control on it. I noticed that something seemed weird with the control placement but didn't really think about it. Turns out it was on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. Sorry! |

| Rode with my dad around the greenways of Raleigh. We found some interesting new routes. One new greenway has a recycling bin about every 50m. It would be nice if Boston was as endowed. I got a flat tire partway through, which slowed things down a bit, but the ride was a lot of fun. Distance is approximate. I have no clue where we actually went. |

| Apparently Jiffy does not approve of core exercises. I had done about half or maybe a little less of my normal core workout, which Jiffy had been watching confusedly, before he just laid down next to me with his head on my arm. Since I am home to spend time with him anyway and Jiffy seemed keen on hanging out and less keen on me doing abs stuff, I figured I would save the core stuff for when I'm back in Cambridge. |
