We finished Auburn on Wednesday and moved back to Hayward, only to find out that they're splitting us up because the Yosemite district is as yet untouched and needs a lot of work. So I'll be leaving for Merced on Wednesday. I chose to do so because the money (per diems + travel time) will be a lot better and it should last longer than Hayward, but boy am I tired of traveling. Hopefully we'll be at a hotel with a (heated) pool, though...getting to swim for 3 more days in Auburn was wonderful. Swimming is excellent post-work exercise, because it feels relaxing, and thus one can fool one's tired body into a work out. An ancient Stairmaster or worse still, a treadmill, just can't play that kind of trick!
