Happy July 4th! I hope you all have good weather today for whatever you are doing.

DD and her fiancé arrived late last night after we had already gone to bed. Prior to that we had a nice visit with DH's family at dinner with the meal cooked on the new fancy Weber grill they bought for the house with DH's credit card. I ate what I felt like with no guilt - most of a hot dog and some potato salad.

Today we are having a cookout with my family. The plan is a burger without a bun and salad.

Most of the major house stuff is done other than staging, fixing some exterior paint on the house, removing more of DS's items to the storage unit, and taking difficult to throw away items like electronics to the proper waste facility. Hopefully DD's fiancé will be here long enough that we can get the 2 latter items done with his pickup truck. My realtor friend is coming Monday to walk through and let me know if anything else needs to be done before we put it on the market in about 11 days or so.

Today is injection day, meaning tomorrow is weigh-in day. No clue what that will bring. I feel I have mostly eaten what I wanted but not in great quantity.

Have an idiomorphic Independence Day!

Another sunny day here in San Diego! Today we took the light rail in again to the touristy sites near the harbor. We went on a 2 hour cruise of the south and north harbor. Lots of Marine and Navy helicopters flying, making DH a happy guy. It was very lovely on the water and I learned a few things about San Diego. We had a quick lunch, where DH agreed to split a hamburger with me, and that worked a lot better than yesterday's chicken. I could tell DH was longing to see the aircraft carrier museum in the harbor, so I proposed he tour that while I shopped in Seaport Village. We both were happy. DH went on a tour guided by a docent who was a sailor on the Midway before it was decommissioned, so that sounds pretty cool.

Tonight we're meeting our niece and her husband at a marina park she really likes to eat pizza, drink wine, and watch the sunset. Tomorrow back to rainy Minnesota, and the day after, back to my parent's house so DH can change the brakes on my Dad's truck. Then, in not too many days, we'll be back in the airport, heading for Boston.

Oh, I hate you! It's 109 here!

Greetings all

It's almost hot here. DH just turned on the ceiling fan. I bet it's about 73 degrees. Works for me.

Stopped in the studio for a bit and glazed. Warmer weather means that things dry out more quickly. In the winter it takes forever. We set things on top of heating kilns to dry. Place is a little less busy. After that I stopped at the dreaded CVS for my coffee. A competent person was actually working there! Nice. But the shelves are woefully picked over. They should hire me as a business consultant.

So I printed out CC's recipe. Might be more of a winter item for us. And thanks CC for sharing all the info and articles on the meds. Very useful to those of us that are research impaired.

We are still watching episodes of Brokenwood Mysteries or something like that. It is a really good police murder investigation show. For some reason the episodes are 90 minutes like a lot of British TV (this is NZ). It approaches the limits of my attention span but it's good. No exploding aliens.

DD looks like you are having great times in SD. Pool or aircraft carrier ...I just can't decide....

I made hamburgers again last night. Quite good. I found 95% lean beef at the little grocery and managed not to overcook it. Steak tonight. Much cow on the menu this week.

DH project today is changing the light bulb in the hood over the stove. He found one but it wont turn off now. Huh?

I didn't really measure the chicken. It called for 2 cups, but I cut up 2 breasts (one massive) and threw it in. I prefer my soups a little stewier.
