Better days are coming. They're called Saturday and Sunday.

I thought this morning I was on the verge of a significant life event.
When I bought the bare root roses in December I talked with the very helpful lady at the nursery about my irrigation system. In the course of that discussion she said my watering basin around the citrus trees should be the diameter of the trees' canopies, not the roughly 10' feet it is now. So I've raked the gravel away from the freshly pruned larger of the two to enlarge that basin. Now, how much edging do I need to encompass that area?
Finally! I have a chance to use that formula I had to learn in geometry to find the circumference of a circle. [Pi x R] squared, right? Uhm...I'm not positive on that. So I go to the internet to make sure I've got it right.
Ha. The first site I went to had a built in calculator. Enter either the area, the diameter, or the circumference and it will give you the other two.
So I still haven't found any use for all those formulas they made me learn.

A guy on a motorcycle was hit on the I-10 freeway south of town about 10 p.m. last night. After the initial collision several cars hit the motorcycle. The accident closed the freeway for several hours, in part because they can't find the rider. They even drained a nearby canal. Nothing.

The good news: 2.1 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare.
The bad news: 20% of them haven't paid their premium bill, due within 10 days of invoice, or by 1/31. Oops.

Earlier this week I learned that there's a car gathering at a nearby K-Mart every Friday and Saturday night that typically draws 500-600 cars. Today I learned about a car show at a nearby Ford dealership this Saturday afternoon.
OK, then. My weekend is filling up nicely.
Temps will cool off into the upper 60's after today's 77, but I'll manage.

This afternoon I asked Pam when she decided I was crazy. She was quiet for a bit so I said, "Probably when I came home and told you about the Porter house, huh?" That was in about 2002 or so, and I told her I'd just seen this really cool 100-year old house for sale that needed some fixing up. It was a bit of an understatement, but she went along with it, we rehabbed the house...and five years later moved to another 100-year old house that needed even more work.

"No, it was back when you decided to do your second marathon."
That was in the early 80's.
Well, at least she's stuck with me.

Today I checked the CV off my to-do list. Twice. I attached it to an email and got a return a few minutes later with requested changes. Made those, sent it back, and this time it passed muster. Online orientation begins next week and requires 10-20 hours, depending on one's familiarity with the software they use. I'm allotting 30.
