Weather Update – July 23, 2021
My vacation week looks a bit more stormy then earlier forecasts had suggested, but I have my tarps and I will live with the rain. I have a bunch of books to read, 📚 and there should still be plenty of chance to swim and hike. I don’t think I will bring my kayak this year, although I’m still debating that point. The kayak just makes everything so top heavy and it’s a lot of work to take on and off the truck. I might instead do a four or five day weekend later this summer to Bog River Flow 🛶 for kayaking.

Akron, Ohio, based FirstEnergy Corp. has agreed to pay a $230 million fine for its central role in a bribery scheme — the goal of which was to get legislation passed that included a $1 billion bailout for two of its power plants in Ohio.
Federal prosecutors charged FirstEnergy with conspiring to commit honest services wire fraud.

Good Morning – July 23, 2021
Good morning! Happy Friday before vacation. 😎
Getting ready for vacation this morning. I am super anxious about it all, 😟 but I know it’s all in my head and it will go well. It will be nice to get away from it all.
It is a pretty nice morning, heading out for my walk. 🚶♀️Partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 54 degrees. Going to work at home today, continue to pack and then head out around 5 PM for Brookfield I think.
Been debating if I should bring my kayak. 🛶 Some years I do, other years not. It long trip all the way out there with the kayak and it makes the truck feel kind of top heavy. Maybe I should skip it, and then I will have maximum solar power and won’t have to worry about taking the kayak on and off my truck. 🛻 Sounds stupid, but I worry about spraining my ankle loading the kayak, or my truck breaking down and not having a way to carry my kayak. Plus the kayaking ain’t that great in the Finger Lakes, as the lakes are so choppy. Save gas too as my truck will be more aerodynamic and won’t have to worry about bridges.
