| Put out controls and picked them up at Chip Ross. We had a good day for a meet. Mostly die hards came out to try the green course. The big news of the day was provided by Marieke who told us that she and Andy are going to get married sometime in June. Paula and I, of course, whined that we wanted the wedding in Scotland. |

| Hit 100 on a set of bicycle crunches. First time ever. Now up to 500 three times per week. They say that you can work your abs everyday, but that is not true. They need recovery time like any other muscle. The year that I did them everyday, I plateaued in the spring time. But I had really big numbers for the year. |

| Walk to work, lunch, and home. Went home early to get my truck so that I could drive waaaayyyy over to Fedex beyond the south end of town to pick up a package which wasn't there. Apparently the V:30 that the driver wrote on the tag is 4:30, so I get to make a second trip. |

| Checked out the remaining control sites at Chip Ross. The big boulder under the oak tree now has a giant broken branch laying on top of it. Don't know when that happened. My long course is going to have a lot of climb to it. Hope they have been doing their hill work! |

| Walk to work, lunch, and home. The weather was nice coming in. Had one little dog bark at me on the sidewalk. He thought he was so tough. He got spooked by his shadow after I walked by. |

| Commute to work, to haircut, and home.
I usually stop in at the Taylor Street Ovens for a sandwich before getting my hair cut (and facial). Today, a kindergarten class was there getting a tour. After the tour they got a big cookie and a glass of milk. Very cute.

| Ran with Annie at Bald Hill. Heard a turkey near the devil dog's house. He must have been in the trees on the other side of the house, because I couldn't get a visual on him. Also, saw lots of new born calves with their moms (or maybe mooo-ms). |

| As of today, I work for Aptina Imaging. Micron spun off its imaging business into a separate division with a new name. One thing I like about it is the color scheme is nice. Kind of like the Xbox website. This makes the third company in 3 years. So far I have worked for HP, Agilent, Avago, Micron, and now Aptina without changing jobs. |

| Walk to work, lunch, and home.
Couldn't read the whole way in, because it started to rain. As I was untangling my ear phones to my ipod, I gave them a final little shake and saw one of the ear pieces on the ground with about 6-inches of wire attached to it. Shit! I took a closer look at my headphones and saw that I still had 2 ear pieces. Someone else had broken their head set. Whew!
Saw a brown creeper on a tree trunk near work. |

| Did some control checking at Chip Ross Park. Didn't have much time before we had to go up to Portland to take my mom out for her anniversary lunch. Was pleasantly surprised that all of the control locations were still there, ie no developers had bulldozed the needed sections of the map.
The biggest change that we saw was a big church was built right next door to our usual registration area. It has 2 parking lots and still the cars overflowed into the street. I don't know who is going there, but it already has a very large following. |
