This was almsot an all genealogy day until the evening - we had to go to the Padres game and waste 6 hours which I could have used to do some research. The fake lawn guys never came - it's 70% done. The refrigerator guy came, said we needed parts, ordered them and now we have no cold for a week.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 272: 1810 U.S. Census Record for Amos Underhill Household in Piermont, N.H. and "Tracing Your Essex Ancestors" Seminar at NEHGS on 3 August 2015 and set it for later.
* Answered email, and looked for more Nicholas Sever records without success. Worked in AncestryHealth and wrote a blog post for Friday about it. Worked on Mary Hoax profile some more.
* Researched and wrote New Ancestry.com Database: U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007. The refrigerator guy came and did his thing. It needs two new temperature controllers.
* Took a nap at 3 p.m,., then worked in the SS mining Seaver folks, got through the first 50 of them. Added to the Best Of post, and answered emails. Checked Facebook too.
* We left at 5:10 p.m. for the trolley, ate at the Tin Fish, and in Petco Park by 6:40. Got Linda's freebie, and ice cream. Padres lost 4-0 to Marlins, a terrible game. We're now 5-7 in person, Pads are 43-51 on the season.
* Home at 10:30 p.m. to read, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

My Genealogy Wednesday - 22 July 2015
This was almost an all genealogy day. The front yard is still not finished, but about 80%. The freezer is on the fritz and the Sears repair is coming on Thursday. I still can't figure out how to change the clock on the new car. The Quick Start book is not for this model.

My Semi-Geneaholic Sunday - 19 July 2015
This was not a typical summer Sunday - it rained hard for over an hour here starting at 2:10 or so. The Padres game got cancelled in the 5th inning.
* Read email and finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 12 to 18 July 2015 post.
* We went off to church at 9:30 a.m., and were home by 11:30 a.m. I read online, added some data from an email correspondent, and wrote Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of July 11 to 18, 2015 and set it for later. Wrote another post too.
* Went in at 1 p.m. to watch the Padres game, eat lunch, read the paper., and took a nap. After 4 innings, rain cancelled the game with Colorado, to be made up on 10 September.
* Online at 2:30 p.m. to check Facebook, read blogs, and review the William Sever material. Checked the rain out in the yard...muddy. Answered email.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV news, read the rest of the paper, try to empty the box, and eat dinner.
* Online again at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and transcribed the William Sever will and wrote the Amanuensis post for Monday. Worked a bit in RootsMagic matching folks in the FamilySearch Family Tree.

My Semi-Geneaholic Saturday - 18 July 2015
I had a headache most of the day...felt crappy. Thunder overhead and rain most of the dat off and on. Did get the car finalized and some work done in the evening.
* Read email and blogs, then off to Marie Callenders for breakfast with the Men's Group. Home at 9:30 a.m. to clean out the green car and find the pink slip.
* Online to note that Surname Saturday -- CHANDLER (England > colonial New England) posted and to write Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - What Sort of Genealogist Are You?
* Messed around, added to the Best Of post and answered emails, then went in for lunch and gold on TV and a short nap which made the headache worse. Used a wet washcloth to try to contain it, took some Aleve and it all helped.
* We left at 1:40 p.m. to turn over the green car to the dealer. Had to revise the contract. Also got the handicap plates back and can put them on in a week or two. Stopped by the store on the way home.
* Home at 4 p.m. to read, answered email and took a nap. Went in for dinner at 5:30 p.m. and watched the Padres game, read the paper and then my book. Padres won 5-4, so now 43-49 and won 4 in a row. It's do or die time.
* Online at 8:45 p.m. to read, then worked on the Best Of post, and added some Billion Graves sources to the database, and matched up a Seaver line to FamilySearch Family Tree.

My Semi-Genealogy Friday - 17 July 2015
The day sort of turned around after lunch...we went car shopping.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and wrote 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 81: #96 Martin Carringer (1758-1835).
* Decided I'd better find my flash drive and put it in a safe place. Not found, where did it go? Checked all of the likely places - pants pocket, floor, under papers, laptop bag, etc. Found more flash drives, and finally found one I could use. Added the OASIS talks and the RootsMagic-to-go and my database, sans media. Tested everything too.
* Answered several emails, did some research from links provided by others, and wrote More Online Information About the Squire William Sever House in Kingston, Mass.
* After lunch, decided we had better start car shopping...so we left at 12:30 p.m. and went down to Main Street. We ended up with a 2015 Nissan Altima 2.5 S, silver outside, charcoal inside. Had to go through the deal, then the financial contract, and finally home by 5:30 p.m. It always seems to take 4-5 hours no matter what.
* Had dinner, then wrote the Surname Saturday post, answered more email, and went in at 7:10 to watch the Padres game. Read the paper, then my book, and watered the front plants and washed dishes. Padres beat Rockies 4-2, so now 42-49 and maybe slowly climbing out of the slump. Hope springs eternal...

* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner and watch TV news. Worked in the yard for awhile cutting back the dead bush and clipping the long grass. Still no sign of the fake grass guys.
* Online at 6:45 p.m. to read, then worked in Ancestry new Hints. Found a bunch of Seaver folks in Find A Grave and added lots of source citations.
* Answered email, added to the new Best Of post, checked Facebook, and worked in the database a bit getting rid of unknown names. Finished A and B. Wrote this post.
* Genealogy today was 5.5 hours.
* Read email and blogs and finished the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 5 to 11 July 2015 post.
* We went off to church at 9:30 and home by 11:30. Watched TV a bit, then wrote Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of July 4 to 11, 2015 and set it for later.
* Watched the Padres game, ate lunch, read the paper, and finished my book. Padres won 2-1, so 41-49 and 2 in a row, a 4-6 road trip. Every game was close.
