Ended up having to go to the public library to deal with some client issues. 📚 Then I ended up working on some other projects and studying my options on the Free Campsites website. ⛺ Also ws looking at some DEC data and wasting time on Facebook. When I got home I ended up watching my YouTube fix 📼, mostly watching somebody move goats and hogs around their farm 🐐 .

Dropped off my insurance reduction certificate 📜to state farm and I assume soon I’ll get a reduced bill and I’ll have to update the payment online. Or maybe I’ll pay the full amount if it’s too late and they’ll send me a check back for overpayment. I looked at changing insurers but decided against it for now. 💭

I was reading 📖 that article this morning about the Trump campaign selling plastic straws with his name on it. I was thinking how cheesy. 🍕 I actually picked up a straw that was litter on Moss Island over the weekend. Looked like it had been there for a while, the plastic broke easily in my fingers when I picked it up. Later in the evenings I tossed it in the fire it was gone in seconds, just carbon dioxide and water vapor. 🔥But littering is bad. 🚮 I hate when I find it in the wilderness.

A picture perfect weekend to start out autumn. 😎 Saturday, scattered showers after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 79. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 63 at 3pm. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Maximum dew point of 53 at 6am. Typical average high for the weekend is 67 degrees.

Saturday I’ll probably work on preparing for my vacation and walking 🚶 out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center 🐸. Then maybe on Sunday I’ll hike Bennett Hill and go out to my parents house for Sunday dinner. Probably won’t stay out there overnight as I have to drop my truck off on Monday morning.

So Monday I’m getting my truck looked at. 🔧 New shop I’ve never been to before but the online reviews are good. I doubt it is super major problem but we’ll see what the estimate says. I just want to make sure it’s working well by vacation.
