Overcast, Windy, And Cool

8:17

It's 8:30, and I have been up since 7:30. I was out on the water by 7:45, but because of the wind and waves, I stayed out for only 25 minutes. I was lucky enough to get a decent photo of a great blue heron, hanging around the mouth of Woodlawn Creek, despite the boat rocking, a result of the waves.

Yesterday was not the best of days. First, we never heard from our plumbers despite the fact that they were supposed to put in the air conditioning. Fortunately, Evie was home, supposedly waiting and calling them to find out what was going on, to no avail. I had an appointment for a CT Scan in Ashabula, so I left for the 12:30 appointment at 10:45. It's a hour and half drive, and I was in and out by 1:00. On the way home, I rewarded myself with a Whopper meal, getting home by 2:45. Our good friends from Hudson, Mike and Barb stopped by for an hour and it was fun catching up with them, especially their winter which they spend at Jackson Hole and volunteering in Yellowstone as cross country ski guides. Like Chautauqua, they had an excellent winter of snow. 

Around 5:00, Evie grilled some chicken thighs in the air fryer and made up some guacamole for an appetizer to go along with our drinks. It was a strange late afternoon as the sun would occasionally pop out of an otherwise cloudy sky. We had the chicken things, salad, and mac and cheese for dinner and watched Colbert and a few home improvement shows before Evie went up to bed. I finished my series, and because I watched the series a couple of years ago, I had a gut feeling from the start who the killer was, and I was right. I then watched the first half of the Pacers/Knicks game, won by the Pacers.  I am reading a new novel, Trespassers, set in Belfast during the violent 1980s.
