Thursday.

I’m sitting on the gazebo with my husband. He is watching what sounds like baseball on his iPhone while I sit at the table, overlooking the back yard, and writing this blog entry. I’m starting to get in the habit of writing blog entries at lunch time. This is something I used to do back in the day before folks tended to shy away from narratives containing more than 280 characters. It’s a good feeling to be able to sit down and write, even if the content is a bit thin.

We’ve been watching “Tracker” on Paramount Plus. A new series as of this year, “Tracker” is about a guy who roams the country looking for missing people. He lives on the monetary rewards of his efforts. Since the beginning of the series I’ve remarked to my husband that the storylines seem a bit “thin” but we still find the show enjoyable. Plus, Justin Hartley isn’t bad to look at.

He has a super-sleuth hacker type as part of his “team” and this hacker can do amazing things in incredibly little time. I always find these things in television shows amusing. Some of the feats seem just a few moments away from waving to KellyAnne Conway through her microwave.

I just needed a reason to put a photo of the handsome Justin Hartley on my blog. I wish I could find a photo of him shirtless while shaving or something, but he doesn’t seem like the type that shaves very often.

The winds are picking up here at home; it could be indicative of some dry thunderstorms passing through the area again tonight. The forecast has finally been adjusted to admit to this possibility. As mentioned in the previous entry, last night’s convective activity took us by surprise. It was a delightful surprise.

With my storm chasing trip looming on the horizon, it has been consuming much of my thoughts and has brought the pacing of the work week down to a very slow level. I’m being productive at work and I feel like I’m getting things aligned so the team continues to do their thing while I’m away, but I’m ready for the storm chasing trip to commence tomorrow afternoon. As we get closer to the weekend, the forecast is shaping up nicely and showing promise. I just watched a recap from Ryan Hall Y’all and it looks like the target area will have some zesty weather right through the end of the month.

I’m hoping it’ll be a hoot and a half.
