Woke up before 6:00 (<>) and had an easy early start to the day. Got ready for a bike ride, which included loosening the wax from my chain and putting it back on the bike. Was rolling at 7:40, headed through the neighborhood in a different way, via Duenda Rd and side streets to get to Matinal Rd. Then I took the extended route through the 4S Ranch neighborhood, including the ride (in the saddle the whole time) up to the water tower gate. I also rode to the top of Camino San Thomas. To keep the climbing going, I rode to the top of Four Gee Rd and then up to the top of Camino Santa Fe, since the gate was open. Then it was down into the Del Sur neighborhood via CdS and Garretson St to Potomac Ridge Rd. I stopped there at the park and took out the brake pads on my rear wheel to push the pistons back in. It all went well, but it was kinda slow working on the bike in the park. Then I rode Potomac Ridge Rd until it ended at Tanner Ridge Rd, turned right and took it to Babcock St to get to Paseo del Sur. No brakes rubbing against the rotor, which was nice. Then an easy pace back to CdS, this time staying on it past the 56 and turning left onto Carmel Mountain Rd. From there, it was up to Black Mountain Rd, turning left and riding to Oviedo St, where I turned right and started heading uphill. I veered off on Oviedo Way to get up to Hilltop Community Park, there is some steepness to this little climb. On the way down, I took McEntee St to Oviedo St and rode back to Black Mountain Rd that way. Some nice, fast downhill sections. Slowly back home from there via Carmel Valley Rd, Dove Canyon Rd, RB Rd, and the regular route via W Bernardo Dr. This ride ended up having not so much distance but a fair amount of climbing, including several steep segments.

Ann was gone (to lunch with Kay) when I got home, so I had some cereal and got ready to head to the hospital for my volunteer shift. There were two new RNs on the floor, Gabi and Greg. I got the chance to introduce myself to her but not him. The day was quite busy, not sure if I've seen the ED as hopping as it was. A lot of the energy was associated with a lady who came in complaining of severe headache and ended up having a burst aneurysm, which was a life-threatening emergency that got lots of people involved. I was steadily occupied with tasks, and the time passed fairly quickly. The evening was quiet, watched a little TV.
