all in a day's work

today was the 5th annual grounds for health car wash at work. grounds for health is a local nonprofit that works to prevent cervical cancer in coffee growing communities. our department work closely with them, providing support through grants, employee donations and this car wash. the weather was perfect today for a car wash with stunning "colorado" blue skies.

i spent the first half of the car wash in a ben & jerry's scoop truck scooping free ice cream for folks who were having their car washed! it was pretty much the best job ever. jerry and ben actually each stopped by, and jerry came to visit the truck.

i followed that up with some hosing & scrubbing, until the senior leadership team of GMCR strolled through the tail end of the car wash in their suits, joined by governor shumlin. he & some of his team were on site for a meeting and a tour. we got the ceo of our company to push a car through the car wash, which was a wonderful sight.

after some cleanup, brett came to meet me and we went for a beautiful kayak on waterbury reservoir, did some swimming, and then grabbed a burger & beer on the way home.

all in all, not a bad day.
