Good morning,
Ooooooooooooo .... it will be a hot and humid day today. Hope the wind kicks up some before too long. This is more like July/August weather rather than May. Yesterday was some warm, but the lake kept us in the 70's for high temperature. Very tolerable. FISKLAND will remain rather quiet today without much activity. Something like yesterday.
Margriet was under the weather yesterday, after spending a night with a lot of interruptions resulting with short walks to the bathroom several times. She felt very puny all day and took several naps. Didn’t feel much like eating either, until supper came. I made chicken with Yorkshire pudding for supper. Also cooked down the chicken parts not used for soup stock to put into the freezer for future use. Should have used a smaller pan as the pudding was too thin. Oh well - it is gone.
I spent the day very nicely getting a fill of auto racing. Not only was the Indy 500 run, but a rebroadcast of F1 from Monaco (actually run during the night our time, so was rebroadcast when we were awake) and that was followed by the Charlotte 600 NASCAR race. Almost non-stop racing from 11:00 A.M. until 9:30 P.M.! Didn’t feel too guilty about watching so much either, since my Woman was not feeling well wanting to hang close to her and it was (is) way too wet to get much done outside. The Monaco race was something of a non-excitement race. Seems they are pretty much determined by events before the race more than during the race. Don’t think I will get a chance to see that much at one time again for a long time. For me it was fun. For my Woman - not so much.
We didn’t even go to church yesterday. I have a real problem leaving her home alone when she is not well. If she had to feel under the weather, yesterday was a good day for it, since we couldn’t get out and do much. There also are too many city-dudes around on the highways to go far either. We just stayed home all day and really did very little.

63º F, Cloudy, S wind 4 mph.
Good morning - again,
I see that I didn’t finish this yesterday. Must have gotten detoured on something else, but don’t remember what!
Yesterday was a very hot and humid day. Checking the thermometer, I found that ours here recorded near 90º F, while the temperature in Algoma was barely able to get up to 60º F! Guess the closeness to the lake really does make a difference. Normally the temperature at the beginning of this is from Algoma. I find that normally, it is very close to what it is here, but - there are times when it is far different. Depends a lot on the wind direction.
The weather station in Algoma is set up at the high school. Would be nice if they had a webcam too, but don’t yet. They are part of a chain of schools and other sites around the state providing local weather conditions. Some have webcams which is neat to see what is going on in other parts of our state. If I was still driving a lot, I sure would be checking it often. Wished I had it when I was chasing around the state with insurance!
It was so hot yesterday that to be able to start sweating, all I had to do was just sit still in a chair. The humidity was really oppressive. Was very surprised that we didn’t get any rain from the deal. The northwest corner of the state got it and it headed to the north of us over night. At the moment we have thunder from some "isolated" cells passing through the area. There is a break in the line of showers over us, but to the north and to the south, they are getting dumped on at the rate of 2"-3"/hour. Fortunately they are moving fast enough to only last for a few minutes in any one spot.
I got most of "little" garden planted yesterday. About all that’s left are the flowers and I will let those to Margriet. Not much of any one thing planted, but some of this and that. There are only two of us to eat it, no freezer to put the produce in for the winter, and we don’t eat that much anymore. Still working on the rabbit fence in-between the drops of sweat.
Margriet must have really gotten mad at the hot weather yesterday - she attacked the refrigerator and cleaned it. There was a lot of stuff in it, some went to the compost pile and most went back in, but in order for a change. Looks if we will have some (more) pretty good meals coming. She found some goodies in the freezer that were out of mind for a bit. Didn’t find any thousand dollar bills in it though. Guess that only happens to Congressmen in Washington D.C.!
I finally was able to download and install ICQ yesterday also. I lost track of how many times I tried over the past few days and could not get it to work. Tried one more time yesterday and it went in like Flynn. If you want to use it, my screen name is Fisk and number is 242771357. Give me a shout if you want. The old screen name and number no longer work. Been chewing the fat with Brenda this morning. At least until she had to pick up Bram from school - I think. They are having some rain there too. Just checked the website and it shows it too. Surprise.
Today is Bible study. Seems weird not preparing for leading it and being a participant. With the sound and threat of rain, not sure what the rest of the day will bring for activities. We will go to Algoma to was my winter coat and the dekbed. Time for the summer stuff. Actually turned off the furnaces yesterday too.
Time to get the day a-going
In Christ My Saviour,
