Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 12:30 a.m. in "The City."

I'm going to stay with the KISS formula once again,

Yesterday was a pleasant day here in GH. We took a nice long safari with the fur-children down to the newspaper office, but something spooked STWD when we reached our destination and she began to shake like a leaf in a gale and we were off to the races. We made it home in record time and then Mary went to Health Hut and I stayed outside to rake leaves. The fur-children stayed inside. I thought I was done raking leaves, but it seems as though I was wrong.

I did get the butterfly puzzles removed from the newspaper I had used to protect the table top when I sealed them and then I finished cutting them out and spraying them with a final coat of matte finish. They should be fully dry later today. Mary did some preliminary indexing work before we went out to our local Restore™ store for a towel rack for the mud room. I have to change the color of that today, but it was a bargain and we like to buy things and repurpose them whenever possible.

We made a short stop at Sporty's and then home for dinner for us and the fur-children. Speaking of the fur-children, I was just outside with them and the current temperature is a very comfortable 38° albeit a tad windy. Laer today, the high temperature is forecast to be lower @ 35° with a 60% chance of snow showers with windy conditions. We have to take the fur-children to their doctor for a visit this afternoon and we had planned to walk, but the walk may be replaced by a car ride if the weather is less than desirable.

Otherwise, I have more highlighting to do and I'll be getting to more of that in a few minutes. Mary has more indexing to accomplish on this 400 plus page tome.

I almost forgot, in 46 days, the first pitchers and catchers report for the start of spring on February 12, 2017when the Mets pitchers and catchers report. The Cubs have not yet set a date.

The sun will rise later today @ 8:16 a.m. and set @ 5:18 p.m. Ciao.
