Fourth Hump Day of the Month

Good Morning! Happy Tuesday. Another bright and sunny, delightful fall day. The skies couldn’t be bluer, and the trees are starting to turn in Delmar. It was a wonderful walk down to the CDTA Park and Ride at Elm Avenue, which I walk down to almost every day now, as it’s so much nicer of an experience then taking the local bus down.

I got Big Red back, and the seat is fixed and is working pretty good. It is much more comfortable and the repairs were paid for under warranty, and all is good. The seat doesn’t feel like it’s brand new any more, but it’s had almost three years of wear and tear, and I’m a big guy. The seat never was super comfortable, but at least now it reclines and doesn’t cause back pain after long drives. And it was free to get fixed. Too bad the warranty ends October 14th, when my truck turns three years old.

Now I Have Money for that Shotgun. Now that I didn’t have to pay anything to get the truck’s seat fixed, I can afford to buy a shotgun for hunting. I have my turkey permit, and a shotgun is also good for squirrel hunting in the early season with it’s wider pattern, as long as you don’t mind picking out the shot from the meat. For under $500, I can get a pretty decent general-purpose hunting firearm.

​Looks Like a Nice Weekend On Tap. I don’t have any plans really on tap, but I am leaning going out to Schoharie County for Saturday evening, and stocking up at Shauls on Sunday afternoon. It would be nice to do some falling camping, enjoying the fall air, and seeing if I can drop some tree rats. I’d love to get a bunch of peppers and freeze them for the winter.
