Cold and raining most of the day. Didn't get a full walk in until close to 5PM. Then went to a birthday party with wife. In a strange coincidence, my car battery was dead this morning, just like exactly one year ago today. But this time, the reason was that the auto body shop guy didn't connect the battery terminal tightly so I jump started it, tighted the cable and all was well. I had the car in yesterday to have another part put on but again, sloppy work by the same people.

Cold front came through last night and it was in 40s this morning. Slept late again and didn't get out of house until 9AM and it was still in upper 50s. Took 6+ mile walk on Groton-Ayer bike trail and felt great despite having a sore back from hitting all those golf balls yesterday. It was refreshingly cold for this time of year and I noticed a lot of trees have started changing color. Deep blue skies once again and well down into the lower 50s by bedtime. Oldest son took me to Mexican restaurant for my birthday (which is tomorrow). So far, a very good Labor Day weekend.

What I mean by perfect day is that we had deep blue skies, warm temps (low 80s), low humidity with some puffy cumulus clouds. But the rest of day was good too. Started out a little groggy as I slept until close to 10AM! Mowed some lawn, went to drive some golf balls at the driving range and then took a second very long walk on new Chelmsford/Westford bike trail. Got a very thick porterhouse at the butcher shop and grilled it up with a batch of jalapenos. Gave bone to the dog. Didn't get much time for reading but a very good day. Though still tired and will likely sleep late tomorrow also.

Much warmer day today. Stayed out of office all day, getting ready for 3-day weekend. Finally picked up my car at auto-body shop after about month and a half without it. Good to have it back. Had a barbeque for some co-workers up north at the warehouse and stayed there until dark.

Cold start to the day, about 49 degrees, wore jacket for morning walk. Day warmed up some but went right back to 50s after dark. Another quiet day at work and look to be getting some good work down this week. With everybody going back to school today, summer is definitely over. Not much of a summer either.

Very cold day to end August. Barely got out of 60s and was in 40s morning and at night. Back to work after vacation and it was actually good to be back at work. Got some good walking in.
