Fri
--   8:27a  Up
--   9:25a  "Kelly & Mark"
-- 10:06a  "The View" ...
-- 11:30a   After driving 31 mi, arrived for lunch with PattyS at Hungry Mule in Lake Zurich.
I had garlic shrimp and penne pasta and we ate on patio in complete shade.
--   1:20p  Left the restaurant, but forgot to get driving direction loaded on phone
so I stopped at McD in same shopping center to use their wifi, but I couldn't get it in
the parking lot, so I had to go inside.  And then I was stuck in traffic getting out 
of the shopping center.
--   1:45p  So, finally I was headed towards Crystal Lake.
--   1:55p  Stopped in Cary to use washroom at another McD
--   2:16p  After driving 14 mi from Lake Zurich, arrived at Veteran Acres Park
--   2:25p  Started biking west and then northwest
--   2:58p - 3:04p  Stopped at Culver's to use washroom  
--.  3:25p  Arrived @DQ in Woodstock and got mint shake
--   3:57p  Headed back
--   4:08p  Stopped at another McD to use washroom
--   5:16p  Back at car in Crystal Lake.  Total ride: 20 mi
The weather was perfect except for a strong headwind on the way back. 
Also, the way back seemed to be more uphill.
--   5:26p  Drove 29 mi south on Randall Rd to Batavia
My right foot was tired from the biking and was starting to get sore when holding brake pedal at red lights.
--   6:24p  Arrived for dinner @Chicken Salad Chick
I had a combo with lemon pecan chicken salad plus potato & bacon soup (without cheese).
It was OK, but I was not impressed.  They have all sorts of different types of chicken salad
but the version that I chose tasted like chicken salad.  I didn't notice anything unique about it.
I had originally planned to take a couple other versions home but there didn't seem to be any
point to doing that.
--   7:49p  Home after driving another 26 mi (Total 71 mi driving today);  
Sat in garage;  The cicada were EXTREMELY loud.
I only had 23% charge left on my phone.  I forgot that I have cord to plug it into cig lighter.
--   8:03p  Inside
--   9:58p  "Inside Edition"
-- 10:25p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 10:56p  "ET"
