Good early morning GH. I decided that I had stayed in bed long enough this AM, and so I got up to write the blog that I skipped over yesterday. It is currently 70 degrees here in the Weather Center, but outdoors, it is 56, and according to the Weather Channel app, we might be getting T-storms this AM. Sure we will, just like the 10 drops we got on Wednesday. I even took time to water the gardens yesterday because I didn't believe the forecast. Good thing, because while it rained more to the north of us, here in GH it was like the desert.

We just had our second train this AM. I only heard the first one, but I can bet it was heading south as this one was heading north. Same two locomotives as always.

Around here, we have the contractor coming today to assess our window needs. We had some issues pointed out when we had the roof done, so we thought it best to get them looked at. The windows themselves are fine, it is the area around them. Hope it isn't too much or too serious.

Otherwise, I am hoping to remove that blockage in the duct in my office today. I glued a block tied to a strong piece of twine in the duct on Tuesday, so it should be ready to go today. It all depends on how tightly that block is jammed in the duct.

Otherwise, not much is happening around the old estate today. Sugar and I will spend some time outdoors walking and just doing as little as possible. I am certain that a guitar looms large in those plans too.

In sports, the boys in blue lost 3 - 4 to the Angels on Tuesday and then turned around and beat them on Wednesday in extra innings 8 - 6. The Tigers too had a mixed bag, triumphing over the Rays 10 - 1 on Tueday and then losing the rebound game 0 - 3. My beloved Red Sox hammered the Rangers 17 - 5 on Tuesday and then they too turned around on Wednesday and lost to those same Rangers 2 - 3. However, they maintained a lead over the Yankees in the American League East by 2 full games. The Caps dumped the Great Lakes Loons 8 - 3. No results for Tuesday.

Speaking of Tuesday, the Blackhawks fell to the LA Kings on the King's home ice Tuesday night, by a score  of 1 - 3. The Hawks never seemed to be in the game that night. Next game is tonight, hopefully with better results.

In word game news, Mary pulled into the lead with the most words in a single game, while I took the lead in most points Actually, I simply moved the bar higher. Mary also found out something we were wondering about. There is nothing extra for clearing the board of all the letters.

Otherwise, time for bed again and then...Tea time before the contractor comes. Ciao.
