We went to Tami's on Sunday and I did no genealogy except reading email and blogs, so I didn't journal last night.
* Didn't take Linda to the Y today -it was raining a bit and cold, so we stayed home in the early morning. I read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that Amanuensis Monday - Probate Records of Joseph Keyes (1667-1757) of Westford, Mass. posted.
* Got into the green room on Mondays With Myrt, and participated in the first hour. We left at 10:15 for the medical center and Linda's PT class. She didn't have it because she was given bad information. We rescheduled, and now she has to go on the 23rd and also on this Tuesday morning. Home by 11 a.m.
* I wrote My AncestryDNA Playing Card, checked email and blogs, and tried to nap. Up at 12 noon to eat lunch, read as bit, and then left at 12:40 p.m. for the medical center for my eye appointment. I get new glasses, but have no eye medical problems. Put drops in my eyes so couldn't bear bright lights. Home by 1:45 p.m.
* Read online a bit in the dark, then gathered the newsletter masters at 2:30 and went to the UPS Store to publish the CVGS newsletter. Home by 3:15 p.m.
* Wrote Monday Genea-Pourri - 12 February 2018, then read Twitter and Facebook.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to finish cooking dinner, we ate, watched Olympics, read the paper and washed dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, then talked to Lori, wrote the Treasure Chest post, and answered emails. TreeShared some, but it kicked out after 30 uploads, about 100 left to do.
* Added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

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 Monday - 19 June 2017
Another stay-at-home genealogy day, and another Padres loss. It was warm outside today - probably 85F to 90F, but it didn't get above 81F in the genea-cave.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up at 8:45 and home before 9 to join Mondays With Myrt.
* It took 25 minutes, one reboot, and four tries to get onto the panel - it's probably time for a new computer. Finally made it, and discussed my two Amanuensis Monday posts about Shubael Seaver's land records that were really probate records.
* Noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 11 to 17 June 2017 and Amanuensis Monday - Deed Records for Shubael Seaver (1640-1730) in Roxbury, Massachusetts - Part 2 posted. Wrote four posts for the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe blog.
* Took a nap, ate lunch, then worked in Genealogy Bank. found a George Seaver who died in 1899 and lived in Pueblo, Colorado. Figured out who his parents were with the help of an online tree, and added his family to my database.
* Wrote Dear Randy: Can You Answer These Ancestry.com Questions? Added to the Best Of post, and checked Twitter and Facebook
* Went in at 4:45 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, and the Padres game. Read the paper, and then my book. Padres lost 3-2 to Cubs in a close game. That's 7 in a row with decent starting pitching, but we're only 4-3 in those games. Now 28-43. Washed dishes, and walked up and down the block.

* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up at 8:45 and home before 9 to join Mondays With Myrt.
* It took 25 minutes, one reboot, and four tries to get onto the panel - it's probably time for a new computer. Finally made it, and discussed my two Amanuensis Monday posts about Shubael Seaver's land records that were really probate records.
* Noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 11 to 17 June 2017 and Amanuensis Monday - Deed Records for Shubael Seaver (1640-1730) in Roxbury, Massachusetts - Part 2 posted. Wrote four posts for the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe blog.

My Genealogy Monday - 5 June 2017
Two more getups and we're off to Huntington Beach (Lauren's play) and Burbank (Jamboree). I've started some preparations by am further behind due to unforeseen events.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read, picked her up at 8:50 and home by 9 a.m.

* Took a 30 minute nap. Had lunch, then got on the laptop to copy files from the flash drive to the laptop, which took awhile. Later, I successfully downloaded FTM to it and that took awhile too - it kept stalling. Synced one of my trees with it.
* Tried to sync a big tree on the desktop but I closed it after 5 hours. Downloaded all of the Friday syllabus articles from the Jamboree app, and renamed them and put them in the 2017 Jambo file folder. I need to remember to put that folder in Dropbox to transfer to the laptop.
* Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and kept track of my three projects.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to help with dinner, we ate, I read the paper and did the dishes.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, add data to the database from my Auble cousin, plus some gravestone photos he sent, and then wrote the Treasure Chest Tuesday post. I think I'm done - genealogy today was 10.0 hours.

My Genealogy Monday - 8 May 2017
Another week has started, and things are still not getting done here - the garage, the trust, the car, but some genealogy gets done almost every day, and my Padres play almost every day (not yesterday - they were rained out!). Priorities...
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read email and blogs, picked her up, and home by 9 a.m. and I joined Mondays With Myrt in progress. I contributed a bit on RootsMagic and on the National City Birth Register.

* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner and read the paper. Online at 6 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write the Treasure Chest Tuesday post.

* Didn't take Linda to the Y because of the rain, read email and blogs, noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 19 to 25 February 2017 posted, and Amanuensis Monday -- 1761 Probate Records of Thomas Dill (1708-1761) Estate in Barnstable County, Massachusetts too.
* Joined Mondays With Myrt and got to talk about Ancestry Trees for hints and cousin bait. Afterwards, worked on the Search presentation.
* Had lunch, added to the Best Of post, and took my nap.
* Online at 2 p.m. to read, worked in the Ancestry Member Tree trying to remember how I found a married name so I could use it on Saturday. Watched some YouTube videos from RootsTech.
* Wrote What Are the Most Popular Databases on Ancestry.com? and checked Facebook. Worked a bit in FamilySearch Family Tree.
* Went in at 5 p.m. for dinner, read the paper, watched TV news, and washed dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, look for and modify my elusive ancestor charts, wrote the Treasure Chest Tuesday post, and then resolved over 200 Ancestry Hints.
* Wrote this post. Genealogy today was 9.5 hours.

* Read email and blogs, took Linda to church at 8:30, picked her up at 9:45 and we left at 10:15 a.m. for Carlsbad to see Tami and the kids. We had lunch at Ruby's Diner, and gave Lauren her birthday gift. We took pictures outside too.
* Home by 1:15 p.m., I noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 19 to 25 February 2017 posted. Took a nap in the recliner and watched TV.
* Online at 4 p.m. to read, then worked on the probate record transcription. Did one, and found I'd already posted it. Hate it when that happens. Found another and did two of 8 documents.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, read the paper, watch TV and wash dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to note that Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of 19 to 25 February 2017 posted, then wrote the Amanuensis Monday post and posted it by mistake.
* Updated the RootsTech post, and forgot to journal. Genealogy this day was 4.5 hours.
