Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation, and across the world. It is just before 4:00 a.m. in "The City."

The sun will rise this morning @ 6:05 a.m. and set later @ 9:27 p.m.

According to the NWS, the current outdoor temperature is 61° under clear skies, while my DTWS shows 63º on both the front porch and the deck. Also according to the NWS, winds of 2 mph make it feel like 61°.
  .   
The NWS calls for today's high to be 77º under sunny skies with a relative humidity index of 64%. Currently, no rain is falling and there is only a 10% chance of rain today. The overnight low tonight is forecast to be 60º.

My DTWS shows a falling barometric pressure of 29.59". The NWS is reporting 30.20". Generally, those readings, indicate clear weather ahead. There is no significant rain event on the horizon. So, although I watered a little yesterday, it looks as though I'll be doing a full watering today.

I was in the kitchen yesterday playing sausage maker to the stars. By that, I mean myself and Mary. I found an old family recipe for kielbasa just like somebody's old grandmother uses to make. The end result was eight sausages that look great and taste just like the Polish sausage we remembered. However, just like all vegan sausages, there was no grease squirting out at every bite. Here are a pair of pix of my efforts.

Fresh from the steamer.

Plated with a side salad for dinner. Lettuce is from our own gardens!

Prior to dinner, we watched the final episode of Outlander from season five. While there is a sixth season planned, the COVID-19 pandemic has put that season's production schedule on hold for the foreseeable future. We both wanted more of the Claire and Jamie show. Now, we have to decide what to watch for our next long term viewing. Right now, we are both suffering from Outlander Withdrawal Syndrome.

This afternoon, the estimator is coming out to tell us the bad news regarding our central A/C system with regard to replacement cost and about when the installation of a new system can be put on their schedule. We know it won't be inexpensive, but the alternative is a summer and fall spent in a house better suited for growing flora than people and fur-children.

That being said, here are a couple of tunes from YouTube™ apropos to that theme. Enjoy.

Otherwise, we have no specific plans. Perhaps some indoor chores and reading, but that's about it. Ciao.
