Daily Update – April 13, 2022

Good morning! What day is it? A more than half way through the week Hump Day, of course. 🐰

Good Friday is well Friday. Actually looks like a pretty nice day and I have it off. No plans yet set in stone, rain Saturday. But first 72 degrees today. My standards are pretty low this time of year.

Partly cloudy ⛅ and 41 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind.

Busy day yesterday. 💼 I still have a stack of work from yesterday to do. I guess everything gets compacted with a four day work week. It was a pretty nice day by afternoon although it still gets dark too early. 🌃 I did sit out back for a while under the moon 🌕 although it ended up cutting into my sleep a bit.

Yesterday was National Grilled Cheese 🧀 day, so you can guess what I had for dinner but it involved dairy fat. 🐮 There is a reason why dairymen who burn 6,000 calories a day hauling hay and shoveling manure are chubby. 🚶 I also didn’t get my steps in yesterday because I didn’t have a chance to take a lunch as I was busy at work.

I did get to Tractor Supply and get my propane tank 🏮 filled so I should be good if I head out of town. I washed my truck – more on that later – and went to Wally World and stocked up on many things I was low on including the super pack of toilet 🚽 paper so I’m prepared for the next pandemic and can wipe my butt for the next six months to a year.

Washed my truck last night, a big hunk of rust came off the trailer hitch. 🛻 I guess I won’t be towing anything with Red anytime soon not that I plan. Now I wonder about how much invisible frame rust there is. Salt belt life, my truck is getting old. At this point I want to get whatever life I can get out of the truck. There are some pretty rusty ol GMT 800 still out there on the road, so I’m more worried about the engine or transmission being the end. Neither has gotten worse lately but ultimately that’s was kills these trucks. I’m not spending the big bucks to repair either of when the time comes, makes no real sense.

I am thinking about taking off Monday and heading out of town on Thursday after work 🌲 but with the weather I’m not certain. I miss traveling. Part of the issue is I’m waiting for a package 📦 to arrive but the following week have a family event. 👪

Somehow, the economy grew last year at the fastest pace since 1984 : NPR

Last year saw the fastest economic growth since Ronald Reagan was president. But for many people, 2021 felt less like "Morning in America" and more like a restless night, dogged by fitful dreams about the ongoing pandemic.

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that the nation's gross domestic product grew 5.7% last year — the biggest increase since 1984. But the growth arrived in fits and starts, with hopes for a steady recovery repeatedly dashed by successive waves of infection.
