Good morning GH. Well, the dawn is broken. By that I mean that it is officially daylight savings time here in GH and the skies are gray and the rain is falling. But, I didn't get up until shortly after 8:00 AM. But, that's okay with me, since I can still go back to bed and not miss a beat. I originally got up to let Sugar the Weather Dog out for her morning constitutional. She didn't really want to go, and I doubt if a walk is on her schedule for the day, given how little she likes the rain. The current temperature on the desktop is 44 degrees, but as I mentioned, the view out the Weather Window is on the gray side. According to the National Weather Service, the rain is expected to continue until early Monday morning. At least most of the snow will be gone.

I also arose to check if my watch had changed for daylight savings time. It hadn't, but a little internet searching showed me that the watch has no way of knowing what time zone it inhabits, so I had to produce a change manually. Good news for my daughter in law, Steph, I made the change without any problems and it looks as though I finally got the date set right after many abortive attempts too. Chalk up a victory for me. I know that the people at the jewelry store assured me that it would change itself, but I somehow knew that that was unlikely. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I guess I wanted it to happen. Now all I have to figure out is how to use the chronograph function to time a race. I will, by hook or by crook.

Speaking of Staph, she is now over one-month into her new job. I hear from Adam that things are going well, but Steph has been a bit on the busy side. Good and bad I guess.

I had planned to go to the library to hear the local high school fiddle group, but the rain is discouraging to me just as much as it is to Sugar the Weather Dog. I think that her title is appropriate since she is just like a Weather Rock. If it's raining out, she knows enough that she doesn't want to go out and get wet.

Side not on the kitchen here. I was in the man-cave working on my helicopters, and getting them all flight ready and Mary was in the kitchen whipping up some killer salad dressing to go with the Boston bib lettuce she had gotten the day before. Turned out great! Plus, she created a potato salad from the same cookbook, I think, and it was great in spite of the fact that she noted that she had made the sauce too thin. Personally, I liked it better that way. Chalk one up for luck overcoming skill once again. Oh, by the by, lately the eggs she has been cracking have all had double yolks. Chalk up another one for not over processing.

I road tested my helicopters while in the man-cave and the simple act of changing one screw during my pre-flight checks brought the rotors back into balance on my original copter, and then both small ones flew great. I haven't flown the biggest one yet, but that has to wait for the outdoors. Indoors would not be a good thing, especially from Sugar's perspective.

Otherwise, I am about to head down for...Tea time and TV. so Ciao.
