Moving forward this morning with a big stack of carrot pancakes, with lots of frozen pinnapple and Maine blueberries to top it with coffee and a pot of beans, brown rice and lentils boiling down. The plan is to catch the earliest express to work, walk over to Menands and be in the office by 8 AM if possible.

Showering and off to work on that early bus. 🚍 It looks like a nice morning for the walk up to Menands. Rice and beans with the soy sauce 🍚 should make a good hardy lunch for a change, packed with protein. Would have been a great day to ride in had I had my bike back, but I don’t. I probably should drive in and then get my bike after work, 🚲 but Thursday I have to fire up Red 🛻 to run out to my parents house to walk the dog, 🐶 so why not kill two stones at once? Ultimately it’s just two days, quickly passed. I really don’t like driving to Menands if I can avoid it.

It is a very pleasant morning, ☀ blue skies and cool. It won’t be a bad walk from downtown to Menands. Kind of like an autumn day, 🍂those of which aren’t far away now that the county fair gets underway today. 🎡 The earliest bus downtown is absolutely packed. I figure enjoy things while I still can. Listening to the Young Bloods, Get Together on the commute into the office. 🩸My blood work and physical came back well or so I was told, though I probably should scrutinize my online health records to see everything.
