Mon
--   6:30a  Woken by train horn
--   6:55a  Up;  Didn't sleep very well, although it was fairly quiet most of the night.
--   7:20a  Heading down to breakfast @hotel:  eggs & sausage.  There were no waffles today.
--   8:20a  Heading back towards home
I got lost almost immediately because it told me to get off I-280 almost immediately onto a surface street
and I wasn't sure if I was understanding it correctly.  It wound up taking me all the way back to where I
first got onto I-280 and then it told me to get off at a DIFFERENT surface street.  Maybe it was trying to 
take me away from an accident, but it should tell me that., So, I think that I lost a half hour.
--   9:40a  Arrived @Middle Ridge Service, Plaza, Amherst, OH;  Bought a Coke
--   1:23p  Arrived for lunch @Aladdin's in Mishawaka, IN: chicken plate with rice and vegetables
--   2:08p  Started driving around Mishawka looking for a wi-fi signal.
--   2:28p  Found a Burger King
--   2:36p  Heading to Hobart
--   3:09p  CDT;  Parked
--   3:21p  Started biking northeast to Chesterson, but, almost immediately, I asked a teen about how well-marked the path is
and he convinced me to bike west instead.  I have a feeling that he was simply unfamiliar with that part of the path.
(After I got home, I determined that west of Hobart it's called the Oak Savannah Trail.
The northeast part is called the Prairie Duneland Trail -- so it's still on my bucket list!)
My cyclometer wasn't working, which happens a lot when I take the
front wheel off and on.  Since I would be using the Bike My Ride app to measure, I decided to stop trying
to get it to work, but about 3/4 of the way through, it started working again.
--   5:13p  Back at car after biking 17 mi,
then went across the street to get a choc shake @Dairy Queen.
--   5:40p  Continued driving home;  The sun made it difficult.
Traffic was very tight but moving.  The eastbound traffic was a parking lot.
--   6:44p  Home;  Reattached front wheel to bike and the cyclometer worked for
a minute and then stopped.
--   7:12p  Inside
--   7;17p - 8:10a  Tony called to ask about my trip.  In the middle, he handed the phone to Sue.
--   8:44p  "The View"
-- 10:38p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 11:05p  "Inside Edition"
-- 11:40p  Bed
