81 yesterday

today should be much the same....50 at sunrise again this morning....but after this weekend they are saying the highs will be down in the 60s or 50s even.....hurricane Sandy may or may not send clouds this way before or at Halloween......watched the Giants again....another good game, so another night of not getting to bed until almost 12.....but then I sleep through pretty well until 6:30 when I get going out of force of habit anyway.....I checked online for the time and temp for the oatmeal meatloaf.....and it's 3/4 cup of oats for 1.5 lbs. meat.....I use 1 pound of ground round and a half pound of country sausage.....diced onion, diced bell pepper, diced garlic, cream of mushroom soup for the liquid....one egg.....spices may very by whim......bake a potato with that, serve with peas.....I have peppered gravy already made from yesterday's banger and mash.....another baseball game this evening at 8.....I'm half-way through Horse Shoe Robinson.....the action takes place in this neck of the woods towards the end of the Revolution.....Musgrove Mill and all that.....the story is mostly true, but the writing is 19th century florid romantic in style.....oh, time and temp are one hour at 350.....
