Well Thursday was almost a repeat of the weather the day before with a lot less clouds. The temps were in the upper 80's but the breeze kept it quite comfortable to be outside until the mid afternoon when once again its just too hot. I started the day much the usual with my morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD after posting this ramble to give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding at this post. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for two hours or so of pickle ball with some excellent rallies with good players. I was whupped by 10'ish and headed home in a stiff breeze to hand water the gardens until Nancy was ready to make a Sam's Club run.
Gas has once again risen by 30 cents a gallon over the past week as I paid 3.32 a gallon whereas across the street it was 3.59. It does pay to be a member but still they are making a profit and the public is getting ripped on the street prices. We picked up some needed items we will take with us to the cabin at a savings as well as some items for this weekend in Brandon where we will be staying for 3 days and 2 nights with the twins while Bobby and Katie travel to Madrid, Spain. It such a beautiful city or it was back when I was there with the USAF in the 60's. It was a very reasonable place to lodge and eat and the vino was superb as we brought cases back on the airplane from there.
I settled into the Ray's game around 1 and watched them come from behind and win their 13th game in a row to lead all of baseball with a sweep of the Red Sox 9-3. The Lightning also won last night over Detroit 5-0 for their last regular season hockey game as they move into the playoff next week. That was about it for Thursday, LATER
