This past week has been absolutely brilliant in the city. Slightly warm at times (low to mid 80's last weekend - 70's all this week) but all days have been sunny with low humidity.
We did the tour-guide thing for Allison's dad and Susan last weekend - definitely too much walking for them, but I think they found at least a few things to like about the city, or specifically Bainbridge Island, which was more in line with their expectations I think.
I've been catching up on sleep this week - I think due to the extended daylight (sun doesn't set until 9:30) I was shorting myself - 10:30-5 wasn't cutting it. The catching-up on reading hasn't continued at as rapid a pace, but to keep up the productivity I did manage to fix the slightly rough idle (intermittent 200rpm drop in revs at idle... old spark plug) on the car with a quick 150k mile maintenance. It's now as smooth and silent as one would expect of a Mercedes.
Project for this weekend - take apart the free donor speakers and pick up some 1" thick hardwood to make the new cabinets.
One more week until the next visitors arrive and I get a bit of a vacation.
