Friday, July 10

Just got back from a quick camping excursion to Geneseo Campground.  Both nights we stayed, we had severe thunderstorm threats but just got rain.  Yesterday we rode bikes about 20 miles up and down the Hennepin Canal trail, and then this morning I got up and did a little fishing and caught a couple of handsome catfish, which I threw back.  Even though it was a quick trip, it was fun and I liked the campground.  Now today, I'll be working on the yard and then getting the HHR loaded and ready for softball umpiring tomorrow.

6:38 p.m. - Good day today...mowed the yard, got the HHR loaded, and won a little money on the slot machines down at Rudy's.  That money is going into the checking account, and it's badly needed.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (7/10)

Ivy League has canceled fall sports; Big Ten has canceled all non-conference games; folks, the chances of us having sports this fall is slim.
