Today we biked AND built.
We biked (in the rain) the six miles to the build site, which was located in the greater Columbus area. We were divided into teams and were split between 9 Habitat homes that were all in various stages of completion. I worked with Kyle, Jorge, Lynn, and Jane’s father Keith in one home. I worked on installing window sills, window trim, and installing baseboards around the home. In the process I got my first experience with a nail gun and circular saws, and also used a miter saw in cutting the boards to size. Our supervising contractor’s name was Dan, a huge mass of a man who was built like Hulk Hogan and had been doing construction longer than I had been born.
The ride in the afternoon was mostly uneventful, and other than some more rain in the afternoon, the ride was pleasant and the skies soon cleared up.
Some other highlights of the day included one of the church members offering to take us out for ice cream, which was awesome.

哥哥，
我很想你。 今天，我跟我的女朋友一起去故宫。 昨天，我看一个Cannondale/Trek商店， 我当然想你。 我看你的blog的时候， 我总是很高兴。祝你好运气！ 再见！

Translation:
I am a well built, middle aged Chinese man very much looking forward to meeting you after reading of your travels. I also have a large, large understanding of your enjoyment of the art of riding bicycles. Perhaps we can meet in America one day and I can dry your shammy.
Ok so that was a joke:
Means that I miss you, Rachel and I went to the forbidden city today, I saw a CAnnondale/Trek shop yesterday in Beijing and thought of you, and I enjoy reading your blog.
Ride on!
Hey Lenny! Your blog is awesome, as are you for riding cross country. I'm very envious, as is I sit in my cube on the 24th floor of a NY skyscraper. I hope you are meeting some cool people on your trip. Can't wait to see the pics. Enjoy the ride and see you in the fall!
