Hot Damn Day!

It was 51 degrees when I woke up on Thursday. It was supposed to be sunny and a high of 80+ degrees F.

I stopped at Building 50 and gave them another bike seat to recover and then drove into work with the window down.

Needless to say, I walked outside in the morning.

I had an irresistible craving for a gyro, so I went to the Newburgh Grille and had one of their lunch specials: a gyro and a cup of soup (I chose beef vegetable, their second best-tasting soup). Then I took a leisurely drive through Hines Park.

I walked outside again in the afternoon, albeit a bit late (I was stuck in a meeting).

When I got home, it was 87 degrees outside and 77 degrees inside! The sun was streaming through the west-facing windows. So, I turned on the air conditioner. I changed into my shorts and got out the push mower. I checked the gas and oil and then cut the front and side lawns.

I decided the ground was still too soft to run the heavy riding mower in the back yard (dammit) so I cut the first 1/4 of the back grass (next to the house) with the push mower. Then I put everything away and came into the house, sweating like a pig!

I washed up and changed t-shirts. I warmed up the last of the linguine with clams and ate that for my dinner.

I checked and there was nothing interesting on TV, so I finally fixed the Roku. I reset it to the factory settings. Actually, I reset it twice. The first time, it just locked it up; so much so that I replaced the batteries in the remote, thinking that was the problem.

Once it was alive again, I began the tedious task of typing in all the information, using just arrow keys and the OK button. But, when it was finally set up, I went on my Netflix account and picked the third episode of Sherlock. I watched that and then went to bed.
