It wasn't as much of a genealogy day as I hoped it would be. Life intervenes sometimes, and I was lazy too. Frustrated and dismayed by the Las Vegas shooter too - I still think it was an ISIS thing. We'll see.

My Semi-Genealogy Weekend - 30 September - 1 October 2017
Not much genealogy search or research was done this weekend. But life goes on here in Genea-land.
1) Saturday, 30 September 2017
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up, and I messed around in AncestryDNA until 9:45.
* Grabbed the laptop and left at 9:45 a.m. for the library, where CVGS was doing a Family History Day. At 10:30, I did my Keynote talk with all of 10-15 folks in the auditorium. Embarrassing. Frustrating.
* Walked around the different stations visiting with the volunteers and taking photos. Back to the auditorium for the WDYTYA program and there were only about 40 folks there, including at least 12 from the family. Came home after 1:15 p.m.
* Watched football, napped for an hour, came online to read and noted that Surname Saturday - BRADT (Norway to colonial New York) and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Good Genealogy Luck posted. Wrote the Ancestry and FS posts.
* Linda came home from ride with Barbara and we had dinner, watched TV news, and read the paper. Online at 6:30 to TreeShare and finish up the Best Of post.
* Went in at 7:30 p.m. to watch the Aztecs game. They won 34-28 but it was close. Now 5-0. Got to bed after 11:30 and couldn't sleep. Genealogy this day was 5.0 hours.
2) Sunday, 1 October 2017
* Slept in until 7:30, best night in awhile. Read email and blogs during Meet the Depressed, then off to church at 9:45 a.m. After church, we went to the 99 Cent Store. Got glue pad mouse traps.
* Home by 12:15 p.m. to read the paper, and watch football. Had lunch. Watched the first quarter of the Chargers game.
* We left at 1:45 p.m. for Ceasar's house for the CVGS After Party. Watched the rest of the game there. Had more lunch/dinner, and talked to folks. Home by 5:30 p.m.
* Had dessert, watched TV news, then online at 6 p.m. to read, answer email, noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 24 to 30 September 2017 and Added or Updated Ancestry.com Databases - Week of 24 to 30 September 2017 posted.
* Transcribed a probate record and wrote the Amanuensis post. Worked for over an hour in Ancestry Hints for the big tree - resolved about 140 Hints, adding content and sources. Checked Facebook.

My Genealogy Tuesday - 26 September 2017
I didn't sleep well last night - maybe got 5 hours of decent zzzzs - and was really tired and grumpy all morning. It was not a really big genealogy day because of life and the Padres game.
* Dropped Linda off at the Y, home to read email and blogs, picked her up and we went off to the lawyer in La Mesa for our trust review. We need new documents, of course - the ones we had were functional but 12 years old. The prices are 5 times what they were 12 years ago.

My Genealogy Thursday - 21 September 2017
This was not quite a full genealogy day -out to lunch and then watched the Padres game tonight, but I got some things done.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up and we went to the grocery store. Home by 9:35 a.m.
* Noted that 1730 Marriage Record of Henry Smith and Ruth Barbur in Medfield, Mass. - - Post 383 of Treasure Chest Thursday posted, then wrote FamilySearch Partners with Social Media App Famicity. Added to the Best Of post, and took my nap/rest.
* Left at 10:50 a.m. for Sunset at the Park and lunch with my Rohr engineer retiree group. Only 8 there today. Home by 12:45 p.m.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and searched for and transcribed a newspaper article for Seavers in the News - Did Joshua Seaver Lead a Double Life?
* Checked Twitter and Facebook, then worked on the 52 Ancestors biography.
* Went in at 5:20 p.m. for dinner, and watched TV news. Online at 6:15 p.m. to write the 52 Ancestor post and then TreeShared.
* Went in at 7:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, read my Delaware book, and tried to update the Detective talk on the laptop. It kept failing at one slide. Drat. Padres won 3-0 over Rockies, so now 69-84 on the season.
* Online at 10 p.m. to read, then edited the Detective talk for Santee and CVGS and saved them as PDFs, and put them in Dropbox. Need to put them on the flash drive too.
