Mondays are usually my laundry days, but I'm doing that chore this afternoon. It's cold today, but the next few days are going to be colder, and I don't want to be dealing with wet clothes out in the unheated garage then. So I'm taking care of it now.

And a very quiet Saturday comes to a close. The coldest weather of the year is supposed to be with us as temperatures begin dropping tonight. Monday and Tuesday are supposed to be the very coldest with normal temperatures returning Thursday. Anticipating that, I wrapped exposed outdoor faucets at the back of the house with new insulation material this afternoon. We should be okay.

So today I turned 76 y/o. As far as birthdays go, this has been one of my best. Got lots of remembrances and happy wishes over the Internet, but as far as celebrations go it was just the wife and me. A good, quiet day. Perfect.

Another nice, quiet day. A neighbor came to my door midday to share some produce from her home garden. 5 sweet onions. She had more in her bag but I didn't want to seem greedy. :)
Have enjoyed listening to an exciting Big-10 men's basketball game tonight, Michigan Wolverines vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers.
And now, I'm thinking about bedtime.

A pretty good Wednesday winds down. Main chore this morning was repairing the toilet in the wife's bathroom. Hope that solves the excessive water use reported by the water company.
Enjoyed listening to the Butler Bulldogs men's basketball team defeat the Seton Hall tonight. And with that, it's time for me to get ready for bed.

A pretty good, very low-key Tuesday winds down. Massive insomnia last night conditioned the pace of my day. Moving cautiously and carefully through the chores at a relaxed pace so as not to break anything was a primary goal. Bet I sleep much better tonight! Heh.

Huh! I do NOT like Monday mysteries! Just got an email notice from my water company that I used 12 times more water than is normal yesterday. Huh! I don't think so!

Have just tuned into the IU Women's Basketball Radio Station ahead of this afternoon's Lady Hoosiers Game vs the Iowa Hawkeyes. I sure hope the women's team does better against Iowa than the men did last night.

Started my sports day by following the Butler Bulldogs vs the Creighton Bluejays in a college basketball game. Of course I was cheering for Butler, they lost, but they made a very exciting game of it.
Now I'm closing out my day following the IU Hoosiers vs the Iowa Hawkeyes in another college basketball game. Of course, I'm cheering for IU, but early in the game my guys are trailing Iowa. Hope they can pull this game out.

Friday evening and it's been another pretty good day. Finished the novel I've been working through, so I'll be able to focus more on tonight's Cotton Bowl Game than I was last night's Orange Bowl.
