Drizzle Continues

Sunday, 10:15 am: We have drizzle and it feels cool, although it’s only 56° [F.]. Perhaps I should put on long pants? I’ve managed to put off cutting our lawn the last few days due to the wet grass. Today looks like it’s no exception. Yesterday I was out working in our backyard and I had to wear my rubberized shoes; it was just too damp.

My wife is on her treadmill on our porch. She stays fit, but it looks really monotonous. Our porch is screened, so she’s out of the bomb-sights of flying insects. She is more robust and dedicated than I am. I take the path of least resistance, which, for me, means it’s probably all downhill. I’m sure she will out-live me. After all, there is only so much energy to go around [not quantum physics]. I think I’ve used most of mine up; at least in the things I’m not interested in pursuing, which as I get older seem to exponentially increase.

Back to my weather, after all this is a weather blog, at least in theory anyway. My Davis weather console took a dive [I knocked it off] onto the floor yesterday when I was trying to track down a source of RF interference getting into my ham radio. Eventually I found the source and eliminated it by filtering a power cord to my other computer. Luckily my console was intact and undamaged. Phew! I would very be unhappy if I had to buy a new one.

You are young at heart, and that's important.
