Went for a hike with greg this morning. Already in the low forty’s. We were still a little slow. Guess we were gabbing too much.

Threw out the grass seed I bought for the bare patches under the trees. Didn’t quite have enough. I got the most important parts.

Worked on the guitar, sometime I think I am getting worse rather than better as I go. Fingers aren’t really sore anymore, but they are like… numb. I am not sure not hurting to being numb is that great. It sure isn’t helping my typing.

Mom called and her car won’t start. The battery is dead. She is going to get it jumped by AAA and then I will get it a new battery. I was talking to Tim on the way over and he suggested a trickle charger. Checked with the guy at the parts store and he had one that would work well. He installed it when he put the new battery in. Only one draw back I need a short extension cord so it can be plugged in with out raising the lid. The guy said Lowes has what I want. I will pick it u the next time I go there.

The temperature is up to fifty, this is better than real winter.

UD didn’t live up to expectation on the road again, lost to a not very good St. Joe’s team.

Still gray, but it is really warming up for this time of year.

Kind of a slow day, Kevin was at a funeral all day. Kind of a sad situation, his old grounds keeper at Greenville went off the road and wasn’t found until the next morning. He was sixty-eight.

Worked on trying to clean up the CSS on the sports web page, didn’t do something right, couldn’t get it link up correctly. I did get the basic accordion to work on the articles. Still need to link it live. I thought I had the CSS right.

Talked to Paul to wish him a happy birthday. Sounds like he is going to have a lazy morning, but then things will heat up for him.He is heading to Seattle to pick up LaLa and her friend. As Paul and I discussed I will never forget LaLa since she is the one that called me a man whore. Still don’t understand why.

Got some time in on both the guitar and piano. My dulcimer is finally going to ship. Looks like I should have it by Thursday. I will finally found out if it is as easy to play as they say

Hiking in the morning with Greg.

Rainy day, gray and cloudy. Would like some sun.

Another birthday. I figured out I am getting older at a slower rate at least mathematically. One more year as a percentage of my age is much less than a younger person.

Judy took me to Milano’s for dinner. It’s the first time I have eaten at the new Milano’s in Beavercreek. It’s real uptown compared to Brown Street. Still wish they had that cheese sub I used to get.

Saw an article on who else was born on January 21: Jack Nicolas, Don Donoher, Diane Laine, not bad company.

Still kind of gray here. Would like to see some sun.

Had a good time talking to Burma about her new marriage. Was really surprised to hear she had only reconnected with her husband four weeks before they got married. She knew the guy in high school and was real close until he went to Vietnam. When he came back they drifted apart. Fast forward forty-two years and they reconnected and as they say the rest is history.

My new tennis shoes came. The width is good, I think the length is good to. Need to check them with the socks I use.

The piano course also came. Looks like it will give me the structure I need to get to the next level.

Got a little work on the guitar.

Made dinner for just me since Judy was off to eat with the YA Ya’s.

Pat took me to the UD game. They really put it George Washington. Kind of surprising, thought it would be close.

Kevin wasn’t in today and it was pretty quiet except when I started to eat my lunch. Then the phone rang off the hook. Nothing special, just basic stuff, but they all called at the same time.

Cloudy gray day. Would have been nice to have a little sun, but no such luck.

Talked to Paul for a few minutes. They missed all the rain that most of the west is getting, they got snow instead.

Worked on the guitar for a little while. Getting better, slowly.

Watched a show on the building of the Sphinx. It would be better said the relief carving of the Sphinx. The Sphinx was an out cropping of sandstone in the desert that was the top with the rest being quarried out of the ground.
