Last night I was looking at some pictures of Piseco-Powley Road from like 6-months ago. I was thinking about how much fun those Friday nights are, leaving Albany with the air conditioning blasting, and then shutting it off when I reach the cooler mountains.
Then cracking open the first cold beer and getting the fire started with a match and a woosh. Friday nights in the summer a lot of fun. Hopefully, this long cold and salt covered winter will come to an end.
It can't be too much longer before this awful winter breaks and summer comes back to warm us all up.
That seems like a possibility if you believe the weekend forecast. Maybe not a snowstorm, but enough snow to make driving something I am not interested in doing. Sunday might snow also, but I definitely try to make it out to the parents house for Sunday dinner on my 31st birthday. Actually, next pay day is my 31st birthday, which kind of nice because it’s the third payday of the month, and will hopefully give me a chance to get my finances back in order.
I guess I shouldn’t complain. My after tax savings rate is almost 50% when you figure out how the money goes out in every way, but it sure seems like money disappears faster then comes in – and my savings account really only contains a few months worth of living expenses and the retirement account isn’t exactly great either. I just need to drink less beer, and go to grocery store less, and maybe keep the heat turned down a bit more.
More cold and snow is on tap, but maybe it will stop by my Birthday. But the good news: it's a three paycheck month.
