🚖 .. coming at you ... Sep 19

  🚖 ....... a hangover when you didn't drink. Yes ,slept in - mega. Still dopey.
the view is hazy or my eyesight is ' hazy ' . Haven't been out but the window breeze feels cool

Our cousins visited and what a neat time. Lots of nostalgia and guffaws .... great

The cousins. three sisters, very close. Their children grew up in each other 's pockets. Maternal Grandparents kept the family close. We lived across the street from Grand s and the Grands house was the focus of everything. Birthday s etc and weekends - all happened at Moutray.
So these were the folks, last night.

Change. For the first time in months, I will wear sweatpants to sleep vs short s. It s getting that cool indoors

🚤 speeding into September .... 18

   🚤  🚤 later in the day then usual, sunny and Eternal Blue. Yes, coffee but there was an 8 AM errand run to Simit, the Bagel 

We entertain today. A BIG adventure.        [ and I mean it ]. Serving bagels and cold cuts to the cousins. And this will be a rare get together. Last one was likely a funeral. Next one, likely a funeral 

Lynn visiting from Hawaii 

Brian coming down from Collingwood 

Wendy popping over from Yonge / Eglinton 

Ray lives S and W a bit

We grew up together in the late 50 s and 60 s.

🛻 sixteen it is ....

  🛻🛻 typing w / coffee brewing and looking out on .... High cloud and sun .... definitely, fall is seeping in. Cooler nights and slightly cooler days 

Report :sluggish day. Accomplished. Ventilated the first floor, M .. objected on waking. I tried to exchange the air. First floor windows cracked and the hall fan running.

Clearing out stuff. I had packed older / not useful shorts and sweat pants plus some outer clothes [ very old and not my size anymore ]
Psych wise hard to toss clothes, sentimental, yes but more cheapness or '  I'll wear it one day ] ignoring ten years of ' not wearing it '
Thus, 3 bags of clothes are ready to go at the door

💺 fifteen it is ....

  💺💺...... coffee and typing .... daily newspaper is retrieved and appreciating being indoors.
Cold is the word and windy. WL started by stating Tues or Thurs might be best for me for fishing. Except rain. Then he types ' we ' ll go tomorrow [ Mon ] - what clairvoyance !!! Capital day, Monday

One problem [ sort of ], remains COOK the fish. We shall see said the Zen Master 

gray is the world, 

fish adventure in grilling. Alright but the skin stuck on too much and some bones came thru [ M .. not a bi fan of either ]. a marginal success

🚖 one four and .... more

  🚖🚖 ... ah, the morning view included Canada geese and sea gulls and the sun coming over the hills - on the ' Bee. Wind was NW and the temperature, jacket type day.

fishing. hot and rewarding. Nothing big [ bass were < # 1 ] but feisty. Sunfish aggressive and fun
the company was excellent, WL is relaxing.

🚧 welcome to the one three

  🚧🚧 .. the view, white - ness above and dimmer than usual light

yes, coffee and typing ......

First order: the bathroom scale read 80.3 in big LED THEN died. OK. Mr Fixit time.This day is weigh in morning. And I am not 80 anything anymore. 

Well, replace the batteries except when I flipped the scale over, I noticed that the selector was switched to ' Kg '. Ah, 80.3 Kg then

Then the display died. On inspection, the terminals were green covered. Electronic cleaner and sanding swabs, blow dry and reassemble. Success!

And the scale read 177.2 ( lb s we hope )
