Tues 9 Aug

We're planning to hike with Barb tonight so I may not get to work on the itinerary too much. If I don't get much farther, at least I'll try to print out directions to several of the wineries of interest. Not sure if there's enough to do around Charlottesville itself to merit leaving some time to explore that area. Perhaps as a way to slow down winery consumption?

I checked out a weather forecast for the area around the cottage and it looks quite good. They expect to cool down to the low to mid-80s while we're there. Possible thundershowers on the weekend, but otherwise sunny to partly cloudy. Would be nice to have pleasant weather.

First time in quite a while that I ran out of soy shakes before the next order arrived. I usually postpone the order at least twice, and this time I didn't accurately notice that I'd run out before it got here.

Well, we shall have some extra time to work on itinerary and pack and generally prepare. We had intended to hike tonight and in fact got all the way up to Rib with Barb to find that a large, windy, and extremely rainy mass of clouds was settled over Rib. We were hydroplaning on the road on the way back home as it picked the moment of our arrival to release its deluge. It will also allow me time to bake a loaf of cherry chocolate chip bread to share with coworkers tomorrow.

GOOD NEWS! My old set of hiking poles is functional again. Dad got the pole that was stuck in the closed position to open (and shut) again. If you have not yet purchased or received your poles and would like us to pack these, just let me know. If you haven't committed yet to a purchase, you may even have this set as I now have my new ones.
