A quite night but no rain and still 63F this morning at 5 am, supposed to be cloudy all day with possible Thunderstorms this afternoon. Got a couple of nice walkabouts after I put some chicken bones from our freezer on to make a pot of chicken soup. And while it was simmering away I made a 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins from mix we have.

| this was all done by 9 am |

| a nice easy mix we like |
I need a cable connector for our tv antenna , the cable broke off. It is a smaller cable than the standard RG 56 cable and connectors I need an RG 59 connector. So checked the hardware store in town , Canadian Tire, and Dollar store in Forest, Nope. Then the Source (Radio Shack) in Forest. Hm they closed only open Mon to Friday 9 to 4, Guess I will try again on Monday.
Back home for lunch , the soup is ready, so a nice tasty lunch . Perfect for an overcast day.
