Good morning GH.  Well, it is a visibly sunny day as I gaze out the Weather Window this AM.   Sugar the Weather Dog is still in her bed, so no thunder storms are on the horizon.  Yesterday, we had to scurry back after our afternoon walk, because she heard a clap of thunder or two, so she had to get home.  Currently the temperature on the desktop is 64 degrees, so the morning walk should be a pleasant one as we head to the bakery and then downtown.  I had a great experience yesterday that I just had to mention.  I decided that since I was out and about with the car that it was probably time to have the oil changed.  It had last been done in January, so the sticker on the windscreen recommended that the oil be changed in June.  Well, July is close, so I figured that I'd get the job done.  I took the old buggy into the oil change shop two blocks from the house, and told the man what I wanted.  Well, he asked the current mileage and when I said that it was recommended to be done at 69,000 miles and I was only at 66,000 miles, he said, "Well, the oil looks clean, and it is full, so I'd wait until the car has a few more miles."  Since we don't drive all that often, he said. "It would be a waste."   He did fill the windscreen washer fluid, at no charge and then said, "See you in a few months."  So, this guy was into doing the right thing for me and the environment.  I would suggest that if you need an oil change, this would be the place to go.  Otherwise, I was just settling in to play the guitar when Mary called.  Her plans to have something printed downtown had not gone as planned, as she had not saved the file to her traveling stick.  Therefore, I met her at one of the downtown restaurants.  So much for guitar playing.  Today, I plan to play, right after our morning walk to East town.  Until then it is...Tea time.
