Friday, September 4

4:08 a.m. - I woke up about a half hour ago and couldn't get back to sleep.  I might as well just get up and start my day.  And outside feels like another day in the tropics with warm temperatures and lots of sun and humidity.  

Yesterday was a nice day again...I finished mowing the yard and put some additional chlorine in the pool.  I also got in a little strength training and took care of my credit card balance at the bank.  Kollyns was here, so we spent a little time with her in the pool along with Jack and Rhonda and Mowi (Mallory).  Kollyns when home about 2 p.m., and then a little later Amber and I had supper at the Mexican restaurant in town.  I decided to go up to the volleyball match to see how the new air conditioning was working along with watching the Rockets volleyball team.  Rockridge lost the varsity match...maybe they lost all three matches...and I talked with Keith Bognar about just about everything including the new building project.  Keith's a good guy and bleeds maroon and white.  He's one of those Rockridge "legends" - like Glen Cook and Augie Kerres.  I'm not being sexist...I'm sure their are women legends over the years as well, but those are the other two that come to mind.  After volleyball, I came home and watch the Illini football game - played UAB, and I wouldn't exactly call the win a dominating win. 

So now it's Friday, and Amber is taking off for Florida this morning.  I know mom is going to need some hay, so I'm not sure where that project is.  And it's too hot to go camping, so that's out.  I am going to get some exercise in, and I'd like to try to use the new sprayer and the new chemical I purchased to see how it does on the creeping Charlie, so that may be the project of the day after I get some exercise in - I'm thinking a hike either at Loud Thunder or perhaps Black Hawk State Park.  Maybe I'll give Chase a buzz and see if he's available, or maybe supper will just be at the restaurant he works at.  I think I'm also going to watch the new episode of Ted Lasso too and perhaps read my book a bit.
