Drive-by post

Every time I play a YouTube clip or visit a site with embedded video, my MacBook races. Is it Safari, or my oldish (2008) MacBook? It's kind of irritating.

All quiet in the garage the last couple of days. I hope this indicates a mouse-free state.

Temp hit 70F today, and the "heat" hit the pups like a ton of bricks. Gaby napped the day away, and neither she nor King wanted to go outside until after sunset. Softies.

Hawks are losing to Dallas 0-3. The Stars drove Crawford from the game, and so far look more energetic. The Hawks could pull it out in the 3rd, but I'm not optimistic. Wouldn't mind being wrong, though.

Tax stuff mailed off to accountant. Go Me!

Baked a batch of Ultimate Ginger Cookies. Used the stand mixer for the first time, and noticed the dough had a different consistency. Smoother. More moist, even though I substituted white whole wheat flour for almost half the all-purpose. When I used the hand mixer, the dough turned crumbly, and I had to add more liquid--oil and/or molasses--to get it to hold together, which altered the taste of the cookie. Big, powerful stand mixer works much better.

King's Lyme test indicated that he hasn't been reinfected and doesn't need any treatment. This is a very good thing.

Tomorrow's Friday!
