This feels like a strange day in the summer, with a holiday yesterday (Fourth of July) and the weekend starting tonight. This is similar to the Friday after the US Thanksgiving holiday, which is usually a day when very little gets accomplished in most offices. I'll be a little more productive at home than I would be in an office, but I'll still have a bit of a holiday lull from yesterday and a weekend coming up. Actually, maybe I'll get plenty done since I'm sure my body is tired after working on driveway maintenance and (hopefully) rebuilding a trailer hub.

It's the start of the second half of the year and a time when many people take holidays. Schools are usually on break, so families often look to travel somewhere. Some of us might take a staycation, catching up on projects at home. I know I'll be doing that a bit this summer as a busy first half of the year has me way behind on a number of maintenance items and projects.
