* Played in RootsMagic with WebHints. Kinda sucky. Went into my new Ancestry tree and stimulated a bunch of Hints - there weren't enough in RM.
* Took a nap, had lunch, drove the Lincoln to the library for a book. Home by 2 p.m.
* Worked on Genealogy News Bytes - 30 June 2017, checked Facebook, stimulated more Ancestry Hints, and tried to find the best way to use WebHints. Wrote the two Saturday posts.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, and then online at 6:15 to mess around more with WebHints. Took a walk down the block and back.
* Went in to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and read my book and wash dishes. Dodgers beat Padres 10-4 over at 10:40.

My Genealogy Thursday - 29 June 2017
Day #181 on the 2017 calendar has slipped by and tomorrow is the last day of June. I still have family things that need to be done sooner rather than later. I'm bad... It was cooler today, just about perfect San Diego weather - high in the mid-70s, low in the mid-60s.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read email and blogs, picked her up and we went sheet hunting at Wal-Mart and Bed Bath and Beyond. Wasted an hour doing this - they're probably cheaper on Amazon and more convenient to shop, too.
* Home by 10 a.m. to note that 1720 Death of William Whitney of Weston, Mass. - Post #371 of Treasure Chest Thursday posted, added to the Best Of post, and wrote Ancestry Video: Descendants of the Declaration Signers.
* Answered email, watched the Ancestry videos, and worked a bit in Ancestry and RootsMagic. Took a nap. Had lunch.
* Online at 1 p.m. to read, then researched and wrote Using RootsMagic TreeShare - Adding Facts, Media and Sources to My RootsMagic Tree. Whew!
* Checked Twitter and Facebook, then worked on the 52 ancestors biography gathering data, adding events and sources, etc.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, then watched the Padres game, read the paper, and read my book, and did the dishes. Padres beat the Braves 6-0, so now 33-46 on the season. The starting pitching has gone like 12 games without a blowout inning.
* Online at 9:15 p.m. to read, then wrote the 52 Ancestor post for Friday. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

My Genealogy Tuesday and Wednesday - 27 and 28 June 2017
These were not big genealogy days because of life and Padres, but they were fairly productive. It was warm on Tuesday (probably 85-90F here) but cooler today (75 to 80F at most).

We were home after 2 p.m.

My Genealogy Monday - 26 June 2017
This was a frustrating day...and a stay-at-home genealogy day.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read, got ready for MwM, and went to pick her up. got there at 8:45 a.m. and she came waltzing out at 9:05. Home by 9:15 a.m. Frustrated.
* Tuned into Mondays with Myrt and had to start again, then the audience couldn't hear me. Messed with the inline mic. Figured out that the webcam also has sound, so after an hour of messing with it I finally said something they could hear. Frustrating.
* Added to the Best Of post, noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 18 to 24 June 2017 posted, and worked on the presentation and handout for Class 4 of my OASIS class. That's done. No frustration.
* Took a nice nap. Had lunch, then online at 12:45 p.m. to read, noted that Amanuensis Monday - Deed Records for Joseph Seaver (1672-1754) in Roxbury, Massachusetts - Part 1 posted and wrote Family Tree Maker 2017 Update - 25 June 2017.
* Answered email, checked MyHeritage and Ancestry DNA matches, added to the Best Of post, and checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, read the paper and wash dishes. Took my short walk.
* Online at 6:40 p.m. to add to the Best Of post, then wrote the Treasure Chest Tuesday post. Lori called twice. Resolved 198 Ancestry Record Hints - only 37574 to go. Find A Grave went to maintenance at 9 p.m. Frustration.

My Genealogy Tuesday - 20 June 2017
Ah, the first day of summer, and it was pretty warm today here in Chula Vista. Not like the desert, though, where it was 115-125F. It was probably only 85F here at the Genea-manor. It's only 82F at 9 p.m. in the genea-cave.

* Online at 10 a.m. to read, noted that Treasure Chest Tuesday -- 1860 U.S. Census Record for John C. Paul household in Chicago, Illinois posted and wrote Findmypast Adds Over 6 Million Ontario Records.
* Worked in MyHeritage for awhile on DNA matches - sent an email to Daniel with questions. Checked some of the Smart Matches too and added some data to RootsMagic for known cousins.
* Took a nap, ate lunch, and wrote Dear Randy: How Do I Create a GEDCOM File From my MyHeritage Tree? and then Genealogy News Bytes - 20 June 2017 and set it for later.
* Checked Facebook, answered email, and added to the Best Of post.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, eat dinner, and then read my book. Padres lost to the Cubs 4-0, so now 28-44 on the season. Washed dishes and walked the block to cool off.
* Online at 8 p.m. to read, wrote the Wordless Wednesday post, added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and wrote this post. Tired! Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.
