Kind of a damp morning taking the local bus to work today. 🚍 I wanted to take the express but I didn’t set my alarm clock ⏰ and overslept after taking a sleeping pill 💊. Woke up this morning groggy and sore but I made it to the local barely on time.

It would be a nice weekend to get out of town but alas my truck is broke 💔 and honestly I need to have some time to clean and prepare gear for the road trip. 🍁I’m hoping to leave a week for Saturday if the weather is nice by seven o’clock in the morning so I can be in Pennsylvania by ten and have some scrapple for breakfast then hike around some little parks enjoying the foliage before camping outside of Morris Run.

Never heard back from the dealership about the truck, 📞so I started researching local mechanic to look at the noise. 🔧 Mom suggested that I go out to the garage out their way but I think instead I have found one in Delmar. I’ll call today and see if they can look at it on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Probably it’s better to go to local mechanic for this. The dealership is good for routine maintenance and warranty work but I was reading not so good for other types of repairs.

As previously noted, next Tuesday is October 🛥 when the sun will be setting at 6:37 pm with dusk at 7:05 pm. On that day in 2018, we had mostly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 59 and 52 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 66 degrees. We hit a record high of 90 back in 1927.
