Yesterday I got a call from my mortgage broker to lock in my refinance rate at 4&7/8 percent interest. Within a month or so I should get the money. I am taking a little extra to get me through the next few years until the economy gets better and my income fund recovers its value.

Last night Joshua came over to watch 24 with me. He worked a double shift yesterday, so today he is driving up to the Sierras and back for some skiing. He borrowed my van so he does not have to put too much of a strain on the car he has borrowed from his boss. As soon as his refinancing is completed, he will buy himself a new car.

It is another beautiful day, so I think I will go for a walk again. It looks like we are going to have a week or more of these beautiful days, so it looks pretty likely we are going to be so short of rain this year that we will have to go back to water rationing.
