If you still have a running Plymouth Sundance or an Oldsmobile 88, those are good cars to drive if you want to avoid getting traffic tickets. Then again, those cars at this point probably don't do that good at speeding.
I wonder how many more weeks it will before they start spreading satan’s dust on the roads, supposedly to counter the actions of old man winter ? I hate road salt.
Good Morning! Happy Tuesday. Ended up driving down to the Park and Ride this fairly nice morning, because I didn’t get an early enough of a start. Could have taken the local to work, but I really like to avoid it these days. Yesterday, I did take the local to work, but I was running so late, that was my only choice if I wanted to avoid driving downtown.
Last night I got the peppers are cleaned up and frozen that I picked up at Shauls on Sunday. Only got a peck this year, because I didn’t want to bother with having to clean a full bushel up – to say nothing of the space they’ll take up in the freezer. I want to still have room to keep ice frozen in the freezer for when I go out camping throughout the fall season. One advantage of colder fall weather, is you don’t go through nearly as much ice.
Today is the last day of September, and tomorrow starts turkey and rabbit season, which goes on to mid-November, at least in the southeastern portion of the state. Probably won’t be doing much in the way of fall turkey hunting, as I still need to pick up some gear, but certainly I have a place in mind for spring turkey hunting in the Adirondacks, based on experience.
I wonder if we will get some rain today. The sun is peaking out this morning, but there are also a lot of clouds out. Today is supposed to be the last real warm day for a while. Then it’s back to normal October weather. This weekend doesn’t look real nice, but so be it. We had a real nice to weekend last weekend.
This looks safe.
Good Morning! A Gray and Cloudy Morning. Everyday can’t be a beautiful and sunny day. It’s back to work, after a much too short weekend. Went down to Burnt Rossman State Forest on Saturday, then down to the Western Catskills on Sunday. The leaves are pretty close to peak up there – the warmer Schoharie Valley was quite green, but the opposite was true as you climbed in elevation to the hills and mountains around.
I honestly can not remember a fall weekend as nice as this past weekend. Warm but colorful. All week is supposed to be quite warm, but a little more seasonable with highs in the mid-70s. Possible rain on Tuesday, but should clear out for the second half of the week. While we’ve had enough rain this summer to prevent drought conditions in the short-run, but it we are going to some more rain before long.
Spent some time looking around for my face trimmer as I was getting kind of shaggy, and while I found it in my truck, it made me late for the bus this morning, so I ended up taking the later bus downtown. I probably overslept a bit. Mondays can be tough but it’s fine, I usually end up staying late at work, and things don’t really get hopping at work until after 10 AM.
My new Remington 870 shotgun that I bought on Friday is a lot of fun to shoot. I went for the 20-gauge, as they don’t kick much, and I am glad for that. It’s loud, but then again it’s a firearm. I didn’t bring ear protection – as I was shooting it in a fairly open area in a non-range environment – but I sure wish I had, because it left my ears ringing. I think if I want quiet, I will stick to my air rifle.
Looking Glass Pond is closed for reconstruction. Apparently they are re-dredging the pond as it got silted up from Hurricane Irene, and the temporary repairs to the dam that were in place this springtime, where just temporary. I ended up fishing at Utsaythana Lake in Stamford, which is darn shallow. It also was pretty hot sitting out in the sun fishing there. Didn’t catch anything either, but it’s not like I spent hours there.
