Weight training: push-up, single-leg calf raise. Cannot find Patrick's old laptop, and he has left for work already. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Found Patrick's laptop in a box in the closet, installed CDex on it so I could record longer than 60 seconds with Microsoft Sound Recorder, archived answering machine messages. Threw lots of old books I didn't need and no one would want in the recycle bin. Downloaded an ISO of Xubuntu 6.06 desktop. Washed the car, tried unsuccessfully to repair the foglamp which had fallen out when I ran over some largeish unknown object on the freeway recently. Ate a sandwich and tortilla chips for lunch. Drew and I drove to Hillsdale Shopping Center so he could exchange some clothes he bought there. We stopped at the Lego store and I bought some gifts. We drove to the Sawyer Camp Trail in San Mateo County. It was hot and sunny, about 86 degrees F, and we walked around a bit trying to find a shady place to sit but were unsuccessful. We drove to San Francisco and the temperature dropped to 57 degrees. We observed all the crazy people who were sitting on the beach while it was 57 and fogged in. Back at our place, I prepared taco toppings for dinner. Patrick got home and showered, then took helped out with the cooking. Phil showed up with Beard Papa cream puffs—vanilla, chocolate, and pumpkin, which we ate after our tacos dinner. So yummy!
