Monday = Rest Day

I slept in until 6am, got up, and did some stationary laps in the hotel's modest pool. I recently got a swim tether, which essentially bungie cords you to a ladder or other object poolside, to keep you from swimming into the far side as you swim. It is the first time I had tried this, and it was definitely an odd sensation. A good analogy would be not just walking on a treadmill, but also having a rope pulling you backwards while you walked.

I've got to say that this is one of the nicest Best Westerns that I've been to. If you ever come through Boise, you should check out the Best Western Northwest Lodge.

After looking at the treads, and comparing notes from when they were new, I figure I'm probably about half way through the usable tread life, which is probably about what I had originally expected. (Meaning I can go a while longer (probably finish the trip on the tires, although I'll be keeping an eye on them.) A couple milimeters doesn't look like much though, especially compared to the mud and snow tires on my pickup truck.
