Well, July is over, here comes August. My deadlines are getting closer. Where's my whip to get Randy rolling on things?
1) Monday, 30 July:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up and home by 9 a.m.
* Struggled to get into Mondays With Myrt, Zoom wouldn't connect. I got in on my laptop but couldn't mute my mic, and when I went back to the desktop it had worked. So good. Missed the first half hour.
* Noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post #439: 1687 Will of Daniel Morse (1611-1688) of Sherborn, Massachusetts and AncestryDNA Statistics Update - July 2018 posted. Took my nap.
* Had lunch, watched two webinars, then wrote Monday Genea-Pourri - 30 July 2018. Checked Twitter and Facebook. Wrote a post for Tuesday.
* We left at 5 p.m. for dinner at Lolita's, since we had no meat at home. Then we went to the grocery store and home by 6:30 p.m. Added to the Best Of post and added some sources to several profiles.
* Watched the Padres game, read the paper, and finished my Patterson book. Padres lost 5-3 in 12 innings to Giants, so now 42-67, lost 6 straight.
* Didn't journal, since game over at 11:15 p.m. Genealogy on Monday was 7.0 hours.
2) Tuesday, 31 July:
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read, picked her up and home by 9:15 a.m. Noted that Treasure Chest Tuesday - 1924 Voter Register for Abbie A. Smith in San Diego, California posted, wrote "Pirates of the Pedigree" Virtual Conference on 15-20 October 2018 and set it for later, and wrote Genealogy News Bytes - 31 July 2018 and set it for the afternoon, planning to update it later.
* Took my nap. Up at 10:50 a.m. to get ready to go to the Padres game. We left at 11 a.m., had lunch at In 'n' Out, took the trolley at 24th Street and were in our seats by 12:30. It was hot and sunny. Bought the extra tickets for our next game. Got our ice cream eaten before it melted. Tried to sit or stand in the shade all afternoon, and succeeded. Padres lost 3-2 to Giants in 10 innings. So now 42-68 and lost 7 straight.
* Took the trolley to 24th, then drove to Marie Callenders for dinner, and home by 6:15 p.m.
* Added to the Best Of post, edited the News post, then wrote the Wordless Wednesday post, and worked on WebHints for my Carringer cousins, adding content and sources for some of them. TreeShared the big tree, but there weren't many to do.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 5.0 hours.
3) Here are the numbers from my RootsMagic database as of 31 July (with increases in the numbers from 30 June in parentheses):
* 50,436 persons (+ 137
* 20,378 families (+ 63)
* 163,351 events (+ 478)
* 5,232 Alternate Names (+ 112)
* 10,968 places (+ 79)
* 1,721 sources (+ 5)
* 95,263 citations (+ 507)
* 1,198 Multi-media Items (+ 8)
* 3,187 Multimedia links (- 11)
* 24,896 matched to FSFT (+ 465)
Pretty good progress there, even though I have been working on my CVGS project, plus the Padre games take several hours almost every day.
I'm up to 58.32% (+0.14%) for citations/events and 188.88% (+0.49%) for citations/persons.
Genea-Musings statistics for July (compared to stats for April)June):
* 83,232 page views (2,685 per day, Blogger Stats, - 770)
* 22,647 page views ( 731 per day, Statcounter, + 82)
* 17,666 sessions (570 per day, Statcounter, + 96)
* >2,000 readers on Feedly (+??)
* 3,521 readers via email (Feedburner) (+ 3)
Genealogy and family research are an obsession for me. Yea, verily, I am a Geneaholic!

My Genealogy Sunday - 29 July 2018
This was not an all genealogy day, but I got some things accomplished. It was warm today - a high around 90 with humidity this afternoon.
* Read email and blogs, and went to church at 9:40 and home by 11:20 a.m. Watched some of the Hall of Fame induction speeches, mainly Chipper Jones and Padres' Trevor Hoffman.
* Online to note that Added or Updated Ancestry.com Record Collections - Week of 22 to 28 July 2018 posted, and then started transcribing the probate record.
* Went in at 12:45 for more Hall of Fame, had lunch, and watched the Padres game. Read the paper, dozed in the recliner, and read a bit of my new Patterson book. Pads lost to Snakes 5-34 so now lost 8 out of 10 and are 42-66 at the 2/3 point in the season. On pace for a 63-99 record. Far from the expectation here.
* Online at 4 p.m. to finish the transcription, and noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs -22 to 28 July 2018 posted.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, water the front plants, trim the roses.
* Online at 6 p.m. to read, wrote FamilySearch Infographic of my Family Tree, and wrote the amanuensis Monday post. TreeShared the big tree.
* Worked on events for the CVGS project tree, adding content, notes and sources to the profiles. I'm still finding records.

My Genealogy Saturday - 28 July 2018
I slept very poorly last night, 5 hours total in 3 episodes. Too much worrying about the CVGS project presentation, I fear. That affected the rest of the day.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read email and blogs, printed off RootsMagic emails, picked Linda up, home by 9:15 a.m. Noted that Surname Saturday -- RICHARDSON (England to colonial Massachusetts) posted and added to the Best Of post.
* Left at 9:30 a.m. for the FamilySearch Library in Mission Valley, which closed this afternoon for remodeling. Got there by 9:50, and started my RM class at 10:30. Finished at 12:15 and fused the computers to find several digital images of English parish records. Home by 1:15 p.m.
* Had lunch, was exhausted so tried to nap but refluxed and got up. Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Many Generations Did Your Parents or Grandparents Know? posted, and wrote the Ancestry and FS posts. Tried to nap again - nope!
* Worked a bit online for the CVGS project tree and added some events and sources for one family. Checked WebHints for several other families. Answered emails.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to fix dinner, watched TV, we ate, and then watched the Padres game. Read the paper, finished by Arnold book, washed dishes. Padres lost 9-4 to Snakes, so now 42-65 on the season. Bleak!
* Online at 9 p.m. to work some more on the project tree, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.

My Genealogy Friday - 27 July 2018
July is almost over? How did that happen? Now the pressure builds for my two presentations on 29 September. I'm 50% done with one and haven't started the other. Yikes. Better work on them three times a week instead of one time. A plan...with a cost.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up and dropped her at the pedicure place, home to add to the Best Of post, note that 52 Ancestors - Week 236: #361 Ruth (Hawkins) (Wade) Hopkins (1711-1789) of Providence County, Rhode Island posted, and wrote New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday. 27 July 2018 and set it for later. Picked Linda up at 10:15 and we went to the grocery store.
* Home by 11 a.m., read blogs, and took my nap. Had lunch, and online at 12:30 p.m. Worked on the Genealogy News Bytes - 27 July 2018 post. Watched parts of several videos.
* Spent an hour in the big database adding content and sources using WebHints and Ancestry Hints. Checked Twitter and Facebook. Wrote the Surname Saturday post. Worked some more in the database.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, water the front plants, and wash dishes.
* Online at 6:15 p.m. to add to the Best Of post, write the SNGF post, and finished TreeSharing the big database.

* Will check Facebook, and may do some more database work. Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.

Two months to go until the CV Family History Day. I'm still working on the WDYTYA project and almost found something good tonight. Maybe tomorrow! The yard waste got finished today.

My Genealogy Saturday - 21 July 2018
I woke up too early and felt crummy all day with a headache and tummy upset until after dinner. It didn't help that I had two breakfasts, I guess. Padres game was rained out which opened more research time for me.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to put the laundry in the dryer, and off to Marie Callenders for the CVPC Mens group breakfast. I forgot and had a bowl of cereal at home before, so had only scrambled eggs at MCs. Picked Linda up at 9:45 a.m. and we went to the grocery store, and home by 10:20 a.m.
* Noted that Surname Saturday - BACON (England to colonial New England) posted, added to the Best Of post and rested for an hour. Still crummy.
* Had some lunch, then wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- The Ancestor You Most Admire and wrote the FamilySearch and Ancestry posts. Tried to nap again in the recliner without success.
* Online at 2 p.m. to read, then searched Google Books, Internet Archive, HathiTrust and FamilySearch Books for Garrett and Knowles people in the project tree, without success. Tried to nap again without success.
* Worked in the big tree for awhile randomly looking for WebHints and adding content and sources to the RootsMagic tree.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, read the paper, and wash dished. Jerry came and gave me an estimate for the yard, and he started around 7 p.m. Took a short walk.
* Answered email, read blogs, and worked in the big tree some more, adding content and sources from WebHints and Suggested Hints. Noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 15 to 21 July 2018 posted.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 5.0 hours.
