Work lately has been non-stop. I ended up going down to the library to do more work as I don’t have internet at home and to follow up on the uptick of people interested in Big Red since I lowered the listing price to $3,500. I might finally close the sale this weekend, I have one person coming by to look and start him up after work, and then somebody else looking on Monday, and a few others in the wing. It’s less money then I’d hope, but at this point I just want to get rid of him for a good home. I could use that money for the undercoating and the cellphone booster. Maybe somebody can get a few more years out of him after repairing the frame. I like my F-350 now. It’s paid for, though the insurance agent wants his cut come the 30th, and the blog hosting company wants a similar cut. They want $750 for the next three years of hosting, but you know inflation, and I do make well over a $1,000 a year now in blog revenue.
I am glad looking over my test results that I am quite healthy, despite a few things being elevated from my dehydration and hiking and paddling all day Monday in the sun. I am putting on a little weight from all that beer drinking up at camp, and my diet being less strict especially with all that campaign committee, but I’m still far below what I was. That is a warning though for the future. I was worried that the few high reading on the blood test might mean I was sick or had something wrong, being often tired but I realize it’s mostly the long days I work – I am often in my office by 7:30 AM or 8 PM and work closer to 5:30 PM or 6 PM many nights, before riding my bike home. Even this “relaxing” Labor Day Weekend in the Adirondacks was more of a working vacation then anything else, even if it was some beer drinking and pot smoking in the evening after hiking.
Overview map of Moose River Plains. This shows the location of the campsites and major trails throughout the area. I probably could improve on this map, but I think this does give on a good overview that can be easily printed on an 8x11" sheet of paper.
