More work on Gedmatch

I have just two left to place into the ready to add to database file in the Gedmatch search. This has gone very well and quickly. The set up of Gedmatch is perfect to look at five siblings in a rapid sort of way. I haven't used it too much in the last four years and it has many upgrades. Because I am solely looking at these five siblings and have my own database setup I have not registered for the Tier1 tools but may do that one of these days as they are very interesting.  At the moment though I am simply gleaning new matches from the past four years in the various sites where I have tested both myself and my one brother and a number of my other siblings have also tested at these sites making for a well rounded set of matches. 

We went shopping and spent a couple of hours at that and then returned and cut the lawns I was sad to do that in some ways as some dandelions were still blooming but they have had a good run through the month and time to get everything neatened up for the coming summer. I want to move Starry Solomon Seals to the back as there is a surplus of them out front. I have one Bleeding Heart to move as well. Lots of weeding to free up the plants to grow and we will plant sunflower seeds (seven rows of them) in the garden. They will be lovely. We will plant any leftover seed in the back behind the raspberries and the rabbits or any other four legged mammal can eat them up as they grow. We may plant tomato plants but we will see.  

Today the cleaning and it begins with the basement this week. Never a dull moment. The kayaks, bicycles are in the garage now and the golfing bags ready for our outings this summer. Life is busy with our research, both of us and rather fun that both of us will be working away on something that interests us very much. I am looking forward to long discussions on AI as I believe it is part of the future but its control must be very tight in order to make the best use of it as well as encouraging our own brains to become more sophisticated in how we deal with the world. Children especially can benefit from having a constant companion with AI that they can instruct and use for their own advancement in knowledge and there are strong safety aspects there as well that can be utilized by them in a world that has so much theft and attempts at theft. 

Tea finished, solitaire games next and then breakfast and start the Robot as it will then be finished when I have eaten. Sounds great and the day begins with sunshine.
