This morning dropping off Big Red before work 🚘 then head home 🏡 and work from home. I double checked to make sure I have my charger 🔌 for the laptops. Hopefully it will be ready to be picked up this afternoon. I will get a good walk out of this 🚶 and hopefully won’t have to worry about the uneven wear any more and the tires will pass inspection in November.

On this day in 1967, The People’s Republic of China tests its first hydrogen bomb. 💣 It would be one of the world’s few powers with access to the devestatingly powerful hydrogen bombs. Big boom, not available on Ali Express.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 90. Maximum dew point of 64 at 7pm. Sunday, a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Maximum dew point of 65 at 10am. Typical average high for the weekend is 79 degrees.

It seems like a good weekend to head north. ⛺ It’s disappointing that the road to the Potholers is closed and that Mine Kill pool will be closed but I expect to be busy this weekend so I’ll probably end up in the Speculator area. I still have to decide if I want to bring my kayak or not. Probably leave on Thursday.
