Just before my wife went to bed, we came to discover a drip coming from the ceiling, where the slide away panel is made to access the attic. There were a few incidents of sudden heavy downpours through the day, and this didn't happen earlier today in the morning when it came down hard, but it did here at night. I had to go out in the rain to get the ladder from the attic to peer into the upper space. The fiberglass around the portal was damp on the side where the water dripped out, but an adjacent support beam which went vertically up to the top of the roof was dry on all sides. In consultation with the parents, they initially assumed that the leak might have been water that came in through a vent and was kicked around by a gust. However, the spot where this happened is near where the shingles were picked off by some sharp wind a few weeks ago, so I have my doubts that I'm that lucky. We'll investigate tomorrow.

One of the books that I've seen cited early on in the book that my cousin lent me is this: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/12096...-h/12096-h.htm. Bushido - The Soul of Japan. Written in 1900, by a native Japanese speaker who managed to acquire a strong mastery of English. I think I'll make a point to read through this sooner than the book that was lent to me.

(Incomplete) Draft.

"OK Dad, I think I'm ready."
Gregory Humeski looked his soon over and gave a nod to reassure his son, but he still didn't understand what exactly he was trying to do. He reconsidered and realized that perhaps the question of what he was trying to accomplish would be more accurate. There he stood with the handle of the red wagon tied with a length of rope to his waist, and a stack of twelve cinder blocks in the payload. His son wanted to do some kind of exercising sprints here, sure - but why? It wasn't for any kind of school assignment or something that he wanted to do in reaction to another friend doing the same. Greg stood there with a beer in one hand and a pocketwatch in the other while wondering where his son even got this idea from. When William spoke to him, he quickly snapped back to attention.
"So OK, you said about seven houses away should be good, right? So first I'm going to go empty, and you'll time me. Uh. How will, uh. Oh uh what I'll do is yell 'go' when I'm ready to go so that you know when to start timing me."
"No, no Will, that's backwards. We'll do this like the they do in the Olympics. Sort of. You go down there and be ready, and when I yell 'go' to you is when you start. And the stop line is right where you're standing, yes?"
"Yep!"
"All right, well, get ready I guess." Greg couldn't help but shake his head and softly laugh as he watched his son drag the loaded cart to the intended starting point. Once he reached the spot, William started to remove the cinder blocks one at a time; Greg yelled at him to put the blocks on the sidewalk after he placed the first one in the yard nearby. Once the wagon was cleared, Greg heard him should "OK" in the distance. He looked to the watch and waited for the second hand to complete the lap to the 12 marker.
"Go!"
William took off in a mad dash and the rope snapped the wagon in tow behind him. It wasn't long until the wheels lost track and the cart flipped over to its side, but William continued to run as fast as he can. The street echoed with the sound of metal scraping against concrete as he careened towards his father. He finally crossed the line.
Gregory looked to his son with his brow furrowed in perplexity after he marked the count on the watch when he crossed.
"Sixteen seconds. Not too bad."
"OK. OK." William stated this acknowledgement after getting the wagon back on its wheels and walking back towards the cinder blocks with bated breath. Once there, he placed two inside the wagon, then stood still and stared back at his father to show his being ready.

Shopping list.

The Jay Leno Show is apparently important enough that having chip dip on hand in order to watch the program is something which must be put on the list.

Songs went well today. Interesting to have had a sequence of playing for an increase followed by a small dip. Quaver broke up the trend, but good luck getting a favorable random to play all those chords. Thor's Hammer still doesn't make a lick of sense.

Lunar Beat. Extra Mode. Double play. "@" denotes Random chart modifier. All songs are of highest difficulty type unless specified.
