WOLVERINES!

7:46 am - Tuesday - January 9th - GNHS - 35° F, humidity 79%, wind 5 mph out of the east by southeast.....the north winds have abated, and order has been restored.....forecast high for today is 60° F. On this date in 2013 TLE and I were having breakfast and coffee at Kona Joe's in Cedar Key, FL, and yes, they did serve Kona Coffee.....↴

By Monday morning GNHS was once again a ghost town.  The COA office will be closed until Friday the 12th, so TLE and I are going to have 6 days off work in a row...woohoo!  We began our day taking a 1 mile out and back walk, our 17th of that variety since we arrived at GNHS this winter.....we slowed it down a bit to 3.3 mph.....

....I followed that up with another toning workout, and had intended to head next head over to the hot pools/tubs for a soak, but it was too windy, and cold for that, so I puttered around in the trailer, then dumped the black tank, then made a minor repair to the locking mechanism on the bay door which gives us access to the water bay.....all that before noon.  We really wanted to spend more time outside, but it was just too windy, and cold.  Instead, I spent time indoors catching up on some of my YouTube channels. 

Around 2:30 pm TLE and I took our second 1 mile out and back walk averaging 3.2 mph this time.....

Yes, TLE really did walk with me, but wasn't interested in the traditional post walk picture either time

.....Monday was also the day of the NCAA National Championship football game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Washington Huskies.  After Michigan's first two possessions it appeared it might become a blowout, but the Huskie defense made adjustments, and the score at half time was just 17-10.  The third quarter began with each team kicking a field goal to make it 20-13, and it remained that way until late in the 4th quarter when Michigan drove the length of the field for a touchdown to go up 24-13, and then quickly intercepted Washington, running the ball back to their 15 yard line.  Within a few plays it was suddenly 31-13, and the game was out of reach for Washington with just 4 minutes to play.  The final score remained the same, and for the first time in a number of decades Michigan was the National Champion once again.  My son, Chris, and I have been Wolverine fans for a long time, and it was great to see Jim Harbaugh finally return their program to being competitive nationally.

Just before the beginning of the game at 4:30 pm I headed outside to take the daily (well, almost daily) sunset photo for posterity's sake....

Thanks for stopping by!
