Well

things went well, yesterday.

We found out that the former student who passed had congestive heart failure and the condition had been worsening.
Last night, the heater turned on in the truck b/c the automatic climate control was on. In cottage country, the predictions had the overnight in the high 40 s - low 50 s.

BTW, there I was giving fishing advice - and the poor former students had to sit there and listen - they were very polite tho '. And said thank you
