Good early morning GH. It is 6:00 a.m. in "The City" where the temperature is a very comfortable 63°. Coincidentally, that's the lowest it will get today. Later, as scattered T-storms are predicted at 40% for the area, it will be cloudy and wet. Or not. Sunday the chance of isolated T-storms drops to 30%.

In yet another coincidence, that's the day that the Wheels of Grand Haven car show is scheduled. Last year the risk of rain kept the participants on the low side. A lady with a nice car won a trophy due to her car being the best, maybe only representative in her class. Here's hoping that the rain goddess keeps the rain away until later in the day. All too many car people won't bring their cars out if the weather isn't predicted to be sunny for several days on either side of a show..

Friday we found our way to the mega greenhouse to pick up some final plants for the gardens of the palatial estate. They are having a big sale as they close out their year. If it isn't raining later this morning, we'll get them planted and some other plants relocated. I just have to be careful with my baking yak. My exercises seem to be helping, but I have to get to them in a few minutes for the first of two sets for today. If I am not diligent, I will not get the benefits.

That is about the extent of my plans for today. I will read the paper, play the girls, and read my book too. If Sugar the Weather Dog is lucky, and it isn't raining, some time in the "Bone Zone" is also possible. I'll listen to the oldies station, kick back with my book and watch Sugar devour her bone.

No trains this morning.

In sports, the boys in blue eked out a win over the Braves 5 - 4. Is it next year yet? My beloved Red Sox convincingly defeated a weaker Astros team, 8 - 3. The Tigers hung a close one on the Royals, 2 - 1. The Caps defeated the Dayton Dragons 7 - 4. If you are from Cleveland, you are probably rejoicing at the return of King James to your city for the paltry sum of $22,000,000 per year. After thirteen years in the league, King James is only 32 years old. In basketball years, that's a lot of mileage. Still, the sports pundits are making the odds of the Cavaliers winning the championship 4 to 1 in their favor.

That's enough for one day. The sun will be rising in about 14 minutes when I am back in bed. The same sun will set at 9:23 p.m. While in bed, I'll listen to my favorite local show. Two guys with car smarts talking to people with little knowledge and lots of mileage on their 2001 and older cars or trucks. Ciao.
