Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "The City." A current temperature outside the WW of 39° will give way to today's high of 47°, under cloudy skies. Tomorrow, we are expecting showers in the morning with the same high temperature. By this time tomorrow, I hope to have my new weather station added to the equipment here in the Weather Office/Music Room/Editing Center/Blogging Central. I'll let you know how that works out once it is installed. That reminds me, I need to replace the battery in the indoor digital thermometer here in the office.

I made it to my tonsorial appointment yesterday at Hale's Barber Shop. A great experience! The young lady, Laura, provided the best hair cutting experience since Joe retired. Actually, I think she was better. Personable, talkative in  positive way, and very efficient. Plus, the cost for my hair, such as it is, my beard, and my brows was only $14.00. I've paid more and gotten less too many times, so this was a very positive experience.

I missed the morning train run yesterday. I was unavailable for that one, but I know it happened at 10:30 a.m. as the train headed south. Mary assures me that it was heavily laden. The southbound run went by when I was puzzle solving in the dining room during the early afternoon in the PE. Good old #s 2057 and 2019 were at the front of the following: two BCs, 10 CHCs, two DBTCs, and four DWTCs, with two bringing up the rear at 2:07 p.m.

Mary enlisted my aid in cleaning the pepper grinder yesterday. I was doing great until I decided to speed up the drying process with the aid of the heat gun I have in the man-cave. Let's just say, that the plastic of the grinder did not hold up well under the additional heat. The now misshapen grinder made it necessary to travel to Holland to shop for a replacement for that grinder and one to replace the now mismatched salt grinder. I came away chagrined and with a new appreciation for the power of the heat gun.

Since we were out, we shopped at the big-box everything store and that's where I got my new weather station. On the return from Holland, we stopped in at our favorite watering hole in East Town. Mary says it has the best jukebox in the area, and I have to agree.

Today I plan to get started on my indoor chores. I am going to take it easy and spread them over several days. That way, I know that I can emulate Marshall and still get the chores all completed.
But first, I'll take the morning walk with STWD and then read the newspaper before starting on those chores.

I think that's enough for one day, don't you? The sun will rise at 8:03 a.m. and set at 5:09 p.m. Ciao.
