Surprise day off?
It wasn't a surprise for me. Part of my benefits is that I get three-day weekends during the summer, and because of Independence Day, this week it's a four-day weekend.

Today is Thursday, July 3, the 184th day of 2025
with 181 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.
On this date in history:
In 1608, French explorer Samuel de Champlain founded the Canadian town of Quebec.
In 1775, George Washington took command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Mass.
In 1863, the Union army under the command of Gen. George Meade defeated Confederate forces commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, Pa.
In 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state of the United States of America.
In 1915, J.P. Morgan Jr., son of renowned banker and financier J. P. Morgan, was shot twice in the groin by Eric Muenter, a German professor at Harvard University. Morgan survived the would-be assassination attempt.
In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Eternal Light Peace Memorial Gettysburg.
In 1971, rock star Jim Morrison, 27, was found dead of heart failure in a bathtub in Paris.
In 1986, Rudy Vallee, one of the United States' most popular singers in the 1920s and '30s, died at the age of 84.
In 1988, during the Iran-Iraq War, missiles fired from the USS Vincennes brought down an Iranian airliner in the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard. The United States said the ship's crew had incorrectly identified the jetliner, believing it was an attacking Iranian fighter jet. Years later, the United States agreed to pay millions of dollars in reparations for what it called "a terrible human tragedy."
In 1996, Boris Yeltsin was re-elected president of Russia, defeating Gennadi Zyuganov in a runoff.
In 2009, Sarah Palin, who became a national figure as the Republican candidate for vice president in 2008, announced she was resigning as governor of Alaska with 17 months to go in her term.
In 2013, the Egyptian military removed President Mohamed Morsi from office and announced it was suspending the constitution and planning new elections.
In 2023, Israeli forces launched a military operation in the occupied West Bank, targeting what officials said was a terrorist headquarters within the Jenin refugee camp. Nine Palestinians died and at least 100 were injured.

@razgueado: Are you going to be doing the annual sailing trip with the family this year?
No. Dad had to sell the sailboat in late 2023. My sister and I considered taking over the expenses, but the boat was too old and too difficult to pilot, so we let it go. We are exploring purchase of a 38 foot motor yacht.
Sailing is fun, but wind is too unpredictable on Puget Sound, and the weather in which sailing is good is not everybody's idea of a good time. Also, the 30 foot sailboat got too cramped as all the kids grew up.
So Beth and I are looking at 38 foot motor yachts, preferably diesel. That's a better option for getting on the Sound at this stage in the life of the clan.

I remember you said that your dad sold the boat. Keep us posted regarding plan B.
