Day 8: Paint the Town Prep

Another 'off' day. Though I thought about counting some minutes. Not exactly a relaxing day. The organization with which I am going on the trip in October with (Give Back Cincinnati) is in the final days of planning for our largest volunteer event of the year, Paint the Town. We will be painting 25 low income, owner-occupied homes on June 11th in Madisonville. Yes, 25 houses in one day. We'll have 600+ volunteers (we still need about 60 more volunteers, so click on the paint the town link above and sign up to help us out!) out there to get the job done. Well, this past Saturday was the first of two prep days, where we select 5 of the most 'in-need' homes and do some priming/scraping to make them ready for the June 11th paint jobs.

So while I didn't 'exercise' on Saturday, I spent 6 hours scraping paint off a home, and moving 30-40' ladders around. So Saturday night I was in no mood for bike riding.
