Title: Thursday, July 9, 2026

Morning all,

Cooler today with a high of 86.  

I'll head off to Costco later this morning as I'm out of tortilla chips for the first time in forever.  Need a few other items there as well.  

Knee is slightly improved, but I did call and get an ortho appointment for next week.  

Will continue to fix a track issue on the layout today.

Jeff

Well, warmer here in NH, a return to hot & humid for a couple days.  The weekend looks nice, and then back to July weather next week.

I got nothing done yesterday, too many other little things took up my time.  The DirecTV guy comes today, we'll see if they can cheaply fix my problem.  But if that would include having to rerun wires through the finished basement, the answer is "no" (unless we could use the old coax to pull the new coax...)

Mid 60sbgoing to 70 sumpin  8) bright sun prevails. It was quite humid most of yesterday. Had a pair of young fellas out yesterday doing some trimming and hauling off some dead cedars from the property.

Taking the Doll over to Escanaba shortly. Wondering how long the traffic tie up  ??? is on US-2[

Enjoy the day all.

Well, the DirecTV tech just left, and it's best result.  I was hoping it was the external coax cable to the dish (and NOT the coax in the wall).  That turned out to be the case.  We also cleared some branches around the dish. 

And in retrospect, I think I'm glad I didn't see the US-Belgium World Cup game...
