Mon, Aug 17, 2020:  Day 150 of self-quarantine:  Got a good night’s sleep last night.  Felt great today.  Sat out on the deck reading most of the morning.  After lunch we played spades for a while.  85 today.  Not sure what’s for dinner tonight.

Sun, Aug 16, 2020:  Day 149 of self-quarantine:  No sleep last night.  Laura came over today and we sat out on the deck blabbing away for a few hours.  A nice day for it.  85 degrees and low humidity.  Hot dogs and five-bean salad for dinner tonight.

Sat, Aug 15, 2020:  Day 148 of self-quarantine:  Happy VJ Day.  Most people don’t even know what this day is.  More people lost their lives in the Pacific Theater than were lost in the European Theater.

Fri, Aug 14, 2020:  Day 147 of self-quarantine:  Busy morning.  I attached my new plates.  Did some weed control.  Gassed up the Lincoln.  Went grocery shopping at Aldi. It wasn’t a bad experience.  But the hand sanitizer was out and so were the sanitizing sheets to wipe off your cart handle.  Other than that it was okay.  FaceTimed with Laura and the boys yesterday.  They are growing fast.  I listed my bicycle adapter on Facebook Marketplace.  Already got a hit.  Think my hiking boots will be next.

Thu, Aug 13, 2020:  Day 146 of self-quarantine:  Went to the DMV first thing this morning and got my new plates.  For two years.  So now I’m legal.  Well, the car is anyway.  Upper 80s today.

Me at the DMV.  Not a bad experience at all.  In an out in about 15 minutes.

Wed, Aug 12, 2020:  Day 145 of self-quarantine:  Mike and Darwin went off skeet shooting today.  I did some cleaning, watched Netflix and went to the library to return my book.  It’s closed again.  But they do have curb-side service which is great.  86 today.

Tue, Aug 11, 2020:  Day 144 of self-quarantine:  Dropped off my car this morning.  Picked it back up around 1:30.  All checked out.  Now I can go to the DMV and get it registered.  Won’t that be fun.  Storms last night.  But we didn’t lose power or have any damage.  86 today.
