Volume 17 - Day 66/299, 2025 - Friday

The weather cannot make up its' mind about what it wants to do. It was a lovely morning for a walk, and I think we got up into the 80s this afternoon. The high tomorrow may not make it out of the 70s, 60s on Sunday and a possible light freeze one day soon. I'm kind of confused about which day that might happen. I did go in to Austin this morning, I am waiting on a couple things to be delivered, but the trip a waste, maybe next week. Tomorrow there will be four estate sales, and that is always a fun time. Tomorrow I will be putting out the humming bird feeders, and I hope there will be more hummers this year. I have two pieces of King Cake left from Jimmie and Linda, and I am pretty sure there will only be one piece left after tonight. Listen up: If you are one of my colleagues that is going to DC around the first of June, consider this...I am taking the train (The Texas EAGLE) from Austin to DC and flying back when the meeting is over. What could be more fun? The trip will take about 51 hours, including a 5 hour layover in Chicago and a train change. I'm reserving a bedroom on the train that includes a sofa and chair (transforms to two beds overnight) a sink, toilet and shower, a dedicated attendant, lounge access, priority boarding and complimentary meals. The cost of the room is for two people, so if you want to join me, I will be taking applications and conducting interviews beginning next week. I think it will be nothing but fun, and I have nothing better to do with my time.
