It is +11 C with a high forecast of +26 C. Sunrise 6:21 Sunset 20:51 Hours of daylight: 14:30.

Once again, I will check the local paper for my classified ad for the Camry. I have been assured that it will be there. I do not see it on the online version. Hmmm.
The weather forecast for the rest of the week is sunny and hot. I will put most of my effort into getting the patio furniture refinished. I need to buy some bolts to replace those that were holding the back frame to the main frame but otherwise everything seems fine. I now have one chair fully ready for the first coat of finish and a second only needs to have the seat slats glued and it will be ready for the finishing coat. I definitely expect to have the remaining two chairs ready for the cetol finish by the end of the day. The slats still need to have the edges sanded which takes the most time. I am already thinking of a special wine & cheese & scotch celebration on the final product, complete with a few photos.
Other tasks also need attention: the lawn needs mowing, and if the ad is in the paper, then I will need to be near the phone in case some interest is shown in the car. I also expect to pick up the 5th wheel sometime soon.
My weight loss program is still on track. The goal was to be at 185 by the end of August. I am now at 189.

I am developing, in my view, amazing patience. The ad failed to appear on either the web site or the paper version when I looked under Cars. A phone call this morning clarified the situation. They put the ad under Trucks by mistake. Thoughtfully they have added an extra day to compensate for the fact that it was in the wrong category. I will try again tomorrow. On the plus side I doubt that the phone will ring today. They also said that the online posting is made at 2 in the afternoon. I will check and see if the Camy is there, under Trucks. Nope.
