Chromosome 13 completed and working on Chromosome 12

 Chromosome 13 broke down into Knight, Blake, Pincombe, Buller, Rawlings, Gray quite well but Cotterill and Taylor will require tree searching. I do have lots of matches for both of these but the trees are unknown to me at this  moment in time but I will get busy with that once I complete this survey. There are a number of Cotterill matches within the Rawlings/Cotterill which I recognize so they may well be the known connections but need to do that research before making that conclusion. 

Chromosome 12 is covered by 20 known cousins so that just part way in to this chromosome I already have Buller, Knight, Rawlings, and Pincombe clearly separated with quite a few of the matches still to review.  I am just at the D's and still have all the way to the Y's to do alphabetically and there are 90 matches in total and I have completed 16. Today though is cleaning the basement day so not that much work on the matches today likely. 

The ice storm raged all night here and it looks pretty icy out there but snow is going to start falling soon and later I will use the de-icer on the porch and patio and laneway. It is a friendly de-icer and we are not going anywhere. Skiing is pretty much destroyed until we get a heavy load of snow on that ice. 

I have been working this past year on correcting the muscles in my eyes which have developed throughout my life when my eyes were routinely crossed without glasses on before cataract surgery. The glasses corrected that quite well actually although whenever I was tired my eyes would cross - it was a message to tell me to stop working and take a rest! The muscles though are used to doing that and I think the last few months I have been noticing that tendency less and less but it is a conscious reaction on my part to halt the tendency when it does occur generally when my eyes are tired. But I continue to be amazed at what I now see. Looking into the trees without leaves I can distinctly see that the branches are all at different angles and the tree has huge depth that I never really could see properly before. But surprisingly distance is shorter now than I used to see it. As I said the first thing I noticed with my operated eyes was that my backyard had shrunk in length. 

The tree limbs are pretty much coated with ice but hopefully not to the breaking points. Not sure what it looks like away from here but will have a glance at the news a little later. 

Continuing with the research and my cleaning today and it is time for tree; I am late today and then breakfast and start the robot vacuuming the rugs in the basement. An orderly day these three cleaning days.
