The Padres games on Monday and Tuesday ended late, so I didn't journal. It warmed up a bit today - high around 80 and more humid.
1) Monday, 12 August:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up, and got into Mondays With Myrt. Wrote two blog posts, took a nap, and resolved 118 Ancestry Hints. Padres lost to Rays 10-4 and it wasn't that close. Game ended at 10:50 p.m. Genealogy this day was about 7.5 hours.
2) Tuesday, 13 August:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up, we went to the store, took a nap. Wrote two blog posts, resolved 350 Ancestry Hints. We left at 4:45 p.m. for the Padres game, had dinner at Tin Fish, and Padres lost 7-5 to Rays. Game ended at 10:55 p.m., home by 11:35 p.m. Genealogy this day was 6.5 hours.
3) Wednesday, 14 August:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, noted that Two of My Favorite Females in 1991 -- Post 578 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted, and added to the Best Of post. Napped for a bit. Had lunch.
* Off to the library at 11:30 a.m., got set up for the CVGS Research Group, and we had 13 in attendance. Home by 2:20 p.m. to read, then watched the Padres game, read the paper, dozed in the recliner. Padres beat the Rays 7-2, so now 56-64 on the season. 42 to go, would have to win 30 games just to have some chance for playoffs. Not going to happen - give the kids more playing time.
* Online to write Using Ancestry.com Search To Find a Maiden Name for Agnes (--?--) Seaver, checked Twitter and Facebook, then went in to eat dinner and watch TV news, wash dishes, and put out the trash.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, worked on the 52 Ancestor subject a bit, finally found a record for the Treasure Chest post. Talked to Lori, and got the Lewis wills into the RootsMagic tree.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.

Genea-Journal - Monday, 5 August 2019
This was almost an all-genealogy day since no Padres game. I lost my Inbox emails today somehow - musta clicked too fast on something wrong. Found most of what I recalled in Trash.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read, add to the Best Of post, and noted that Amanuensis Monday -- 1796 Deed of Samuel Hoar to Nathan Gates in Gardner, Massachusetts posted.

* Took a nap, had lunch, watched a webinar, and wrote Monday Genea-Pourri - Week Ending 5 August 2019.
* Searched for the email, then checked Twitter and Facebook. Took a look at some of my Facebook groups that I have neglected recently. Not much new! Worked in RootsMagic Web Hints but found very little of use. Matched several families with Family Tree.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. for dinner, watched TV news, read the paper, and did dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to write the Treasure Chest post, worked some more in Family Tree matching, and then resolved 252 Ancestry Hints, adding content and sources to the RootsMagic tree.
