8:00 am telecon with folks who employ me to do some some contract engineering.
Then 25 mile bike ride to a cafe (coffee, beef-jalepeno and horseradish cream sandwich, raspberry square) and 25 miles back home. Listened to "The Rest is History" podcasts on Martin Luther.
Afternoon spent re seeding bare spots on the lawn and sat down and drank two beers while I admired my work.
