So. Work is getting busier. I'm getting more directly involved with projects, to the point that I'll be checking an estimator's email on Monday, looking for bids coming in. I like it, but remembering which sub I'm chasing for which job is a little overwhelming. As I figure out how to frame the information in my head for retrieval, it'll get better ( Read more... )

I'm going to try to do Moto Crew for the Tour de Cure, which benefits the American Diabetes Association. This one is a bike ride in the North Haven, CT area on June 14 (so I will be looking for a place to crash on Saturday and possibly Sunday night).

( Saturday morning was a lot like Friday night, but somewhat lighter. It was still cold and wet at 5am, though. )

Check-in for the walk started at 2, which is when we left the house. I'd hoped to leave an hour before that, but it didn't work that way.

I'd wanted to go check-in at the walk first, but darkwolfie wanted to go to the hotel to drop our gear, which meant going through the tunnel. That turned out not to be the best idea ever, as we got stuck in the tunnel ( Read more... )
