My carpal tunnel syndrome/Arthritis stayed stable from yesterday, helped out again by good rest, Voltaren applications, and the liberal use of my wrist brace for  better support. Only further future applications will tell the tale as I move on.

Friday was partly to mostly sunny and noticeably cooler and drier, especially during the overnight. I only reached about 70 for highs with dew points lowering into the upper 40s to mid 50s all day. We peaked with our max temperature (70.3) of the day in the later afternoon down to the low 50s about 1/2 hour prior to sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (22 MPH) was still moderately strong, “peaking” around midday, veering over to a more normal NW direction. Barometric pressures were highest near midday while the lowest was reached just after midnight at the start of the day.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday should be nice with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-upper 70s, lows in the low-mid 50s with more low dew points.
