It was dreary and threatening rain when we left for our walk this morning.  I gave some thought to doing a shorter four mile out-and-back but decided to keep going when we reached the two mile mark.  We got rained on about the last two miles.  It became a thunderstorm complete with downpour just as we were getting home.  Yesterday the house smelled like baking bread, today wet dog.  Ick!

Rain has us indoors, so we’re trying our hands at bread baking.  I think we need more experience with the bread baking.

Just as I was leaving for Navarre, the Electrician called wanting to come over and fix those outlets on the north porch that have never worked.  No way I was going to turn that one down!  Mr.B has been wanting to meet the infamous Electrician.

Skip my vitamins for two days and what do I get?  Mr.B’s plague.  Just try and tell me the two things aren’t related.  Just try.

Today’s cloud cover is a blessing as I had more than enough sun yesterday.

Thanks to Tony, my boat is in the water!  Thanks to Crystal Pierz Marine, it runs much better.  I’m thinking paint ball gun for goose gone.

Al brought me two of my favorite donut thingies, just in case my day goes badly.  I’ve left one in the box with the attitude it will not be a two donut day.

Six weeks ago the plan for today was to get a haircut in the morning and spend the rest of the day working on my tan.  Little did I know there would be some database conversions that needed doing.  After my haircut I went home for some lunch and to let the dogs out.  It could be a very long afternoon at the office. * Much to my delight, that database conversion was uneventful.  I was done in less than an hour.

They’re putting in my dock !!!  I think I might add a canoe to my fleet.  I don’t understand why folks keep moving my Caribou Coffee Gift Card Travel Bug without using it.  We saw “The Merchant of Venice” at the Guthrie.  Grilled steaks and enjoyed them on the dock.

Skipped the gym again this morning in order to restart that blasted server.  This incident erodes the Windows Update theory and we are now looking at the backup routine.  This makes me happy, actually.  I would love to be more familiar with the backup routine’s workings. * Last year I couldn’t get Avery to ride in the bicycle side car for anything, and I had given thought to selling it, this year she’s crawling in the thing on her own wanting to go for a bike ride.  Now if we could only quit already with the heated debate about the value of a bike helmet before every ride.

I’ve been so proud of the OC me not checking on that Server every morning.  This morning when I went to try something I thought of during the night I found the server down.  No gym for me!  Turns out there was a Windows Update pushed out last night.  All up and running now, but not permanently resolved. * I got out the mCoupe today and noticed two things:  It’s got a fair amount of hail damage on the roof and hood that I never noticed before and I put it away with only half a tank of gas. * We saw Chaska Valley Family Theatre’s production of “Camelot” and it was delightful!

I love a day when I attain my goals!  I was out of my office shortly after Noon.  Worked on my tan.  Laundry.  Walk.  Laundry.  Painted my toenails.  Laundry.
