Today was Camp Day at my former place of work. Our location invited local VIPs and groups to participate behind the counter. I had planned to volunteer on behalf of the MFRC, but apparently I was the only one who was able to go. Instead, I joined my current coworkers as they did a shift. I started out on the front counter, doing coffee, but I got shifted over to Soup and Sandwich. The staffer there pretty much treated me like I'd never left, she did the stuff like getting bagels and buns ready to bake, and let me do the sandwiches, "Call me if you need me". It was funny to talk to some of my former coworkers who think I'm crazy to like my new job.

I rode my bike home from work today, for the first time. I've had the bike for 16 years, and it still had the original tires on it. Mark put new ones on for me over the weekend. It still needs to have the brakes and gears fixed, but at least it's rideable now.
I actually drove the car in to work because of the Camp Day thing, then Mark rode my bike into town, left it at the Library, then walked over to get the car so he could use it.
I caught my pant leg in the gears, and tore them, and my bag was too heavy, but all in all the ride was fine. I've used Mark's bike a couple times in the past month, but my bike is way more comfortable.

Squid's youth group had a year-end barbeque out at the lake. Mark was supposed to work late, so I figured I'd grab a picnic for Hamster and me, and we'd hang out at the beach, too. I dropped off the boys and was on my way to get our picnic when Mark called. He was home from work and wanted me to pick him up. So back home I went, got some food, then back to the park. The boys splashed around in the water, but it was too cold to swim. I saw a grouse with a bunch of chicks, a pair of geese with 4 or 5 goslings, a muskrat, a beaver, and oodles of ducks.
