You might notice that I've added a new section to the right.
Back in June I applied to take the exam to become a California Certified Hydrogeologist (CHG). I had to gather up three letters of recommendation from other CHGs or Professional Geoloigists (PGs). It took a little work, but I got it all together, and after some additional questions from the Board, I was approved to take the exam.
The exam is in the middle of October, so now I have to study.
The Board published a list of material that I need to know, so now I get to go back through my textbooks and refresh myself.

Cycling and Football
Yesterday, Jennifer suggested riding the Iron Horse Trail again. We decided to ride the entire trail, and planned to take BART all the way to Concord, then ride down to the trailhead on Olivera.
However, when we got to Pleasant Hill, the train was going to wait for over 10 minutes because of track maintenance. So we decided we'd get off, get on the trail, ride to the trailhead, and then turn around and do the whole trail to Dublin/Pleasanton.
Yeah, but then we lost the trail in Concord around Willow Pass Road. Looking at Google Maps today, we missed where the Iron Horse Trail splits from another trail when it crosses Monument Boulevard. Good to know, and we'll try again another time.
We dodged walkers with baby carriages, cyclists who had more gear than sense, and dogs no being controlled by their owners. And to top it off, Danville was having a wine festival that was adjacent to the trail.
We were very happy to make it to the BART station.
In total with all the back and forth, we did just about 33.5 miles.

Then this morning is the first Sunday of the NFL regular season. It's a bit of a tradition for me to make Jennifer a special breakfast while she watches the pre-game show.
We made a quick race to Trader Joe's for necessary ingredients, and then using other stuff we had on hand, I made two breakfasts. For myself, just a bagel eggwich with Kinder's peppered bacon:

But, Jennifer got eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and a couple slices of bacon.
