August 16, 2016 8 AM Update
Today is kind of a gray one as I head downtown on the express bus. But it’s a Tuesday and the weekend still looks pretty good .
I always enjoy taking the express bus even if it means a walk. Walking is healthy activity and the reality is it missed my evening walk because I got busy doing some cooking and working on some work stuff.
I didn’t end up buying that rifle but after talking to friends and researching further I know what I want. There will be more sales before November. Money only grows or at least accumulates if you don’t spend it.
Cut my thumb somehow walking down to the bus. I don’t know how as the air is pretty damp. I must have just hit something. It’s not too bad.
Looking forward to the weekend. It should be a nice one.
