Good early morning GH. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "The City."  Our current temperature is 76° as we head down to an overnight low of 65°. As the day unfolds, the National Weather Service is predicting a 30% chance of T-storms, and a high of 76°. Much the same for Sunday and Monday, with the T-storm chances increasing each day and the severity possibly increasing too. Since it is dark outside, the Weather Window and the Weather Roof cannot provide any assistance with the accuracy of the forecast. Sugar the Weather Dog is downstairs guarding Mary right now, but nothing in her behavior is indicative of severe weather. It is a wait and see forecast for me.

No trains this morning nor the next, as the railroad doesn't run on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Instead of going to the movie I originally intended to see and leaving Mary alone to "chunk", Mary accompanied me to a showing of How to Tame a Dragon 2, at the theater north of GH in Muskegon. It was a subject, Dragons, that Mary can't resist. She even wore her dragon shirt for the occasion which another moviegoer noted and then showed Mary her body art of the same subject. Now Mary thinks she needs a dragon tattoo too. I couldn't resist that juxtaposition of words. We both liked this animated movie as did the children who were also there. I got my humongous bucket of popcorn, but I saved some calories by not having the giant Cherry Coke™. However, on the way back, we stopped at our second favorite watering hole for a "light" lunch, so I made up for the soft drink with a harder version.

In sports, the day was a mixed bag. The boys in blue triumphed over the Nationals 7 - 2. The Tigers fell to the Astros, 3 - 4. My beloved Red Sox continued their free fall, as they lost  big time to the Yankees, sigh, 0 - 6. If the Sox could only beat one team, I'd have it be the Yankees. The Caps eked out a win over the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 1 - 0. So, while the boys and the Caps were successful, the Sox, and the Tigers were not.

Today, my knees should be okay to mow the lawn if it isn't raining. If it is, I'll do the laundry. Mary will be taking the morning walk with the intrepid weather dog while I mow. As I've noted, I only have so many steps in my knees for about two days after each treatment. So, since I am more diligent on the lawn mowing and trimming, I took the lawns on the palatial estate and Mary took the walk. A great division of labor. Once home, Mary will get to that chunking as Sugar rests and I read and relax.

Otherwise, nothing on tap for today. The sun will rise at 6:03 a.m. and set at 9:27 p.m. The T-storms will come, or not. The humidity will remain high for a few days, that's for sure. Mary will chunk, I'll play the girls, and the day will come to an end. We'll start it over on Sunday. Ciao.
