Blog time 1040 at Panera

Looked out the slider at 0200 this morning and our deck was snow covered.  Bummer!

Nancy took Ms P out at 0600.  She said it was cold and windy.

Nancy has a busy morning.  First is her swim at MVP and then she is having lunch with college chum, Karen Horlings.

My big decision this morning, should I take my bike to the Y.  Checked the weather app and found the temp was 32 with wind chill of 19.  Too cold I drove to the Y after breakfast.

Calisthenics, walk, row and shower before driving to Panera.  After getting my coffee and a banana I read the Alpena News and checked emails.  Finished yesterday’s blog and now will read news to see if there is anything I want to comment on.  Stay tuned.

The news;

Assange arrested.

POTUS twitters.

PM May is still in office.

Congress bickers

Winter won’t go away.

The GRP is a no news paper.

If Spring doesn’t get here soon I am moving to CA or AZ.

Yesterday I wanted a lift so I read Great Grandfather Sanborn’s diary for April 11, 1938.  At Ossineke, MI the smelt run was on .  Over 80 cars were parked near Cranberry Creek trying to get in on the big run.  No skill required for catching smelt.  All you need is a big dip net.

Nancy had already left for her lunch with Karen Horlings when I got home.  I had a quick lunch and then drove west to visit Cabella’s and Duluth Trading.  All I bought was a pair of extra long boxer briefs at Duluth Trading.

Back at home Nancy said she had a great lunch with Karen.  I fixed our apple snack before taking a nap.  Finished the afternoon with a 1.5 mile walk.  The 20mph wind made walking unpleasant.

Nancy fixed chili and a salad for dinner.  Tonight we watched the final episode of Queens of Mystery.  Nancy headed to bed and I watched another episode of Hanna.

Thunderstorms tonight and early tomorrow.  Temperature will remain mild.
