Beautiful autumn day after rain in the morning, but it cleared out. Leaves though still are mostly gone but that's to expected on Columbus Day in the Adirondacks.
I mean I totally could have driven my big jacked up truck to work, but I didn’t want to and it was a beautiful morning, and despite the threat of the weatherman with his radar images showing rain, which did come mid-day.
So yeah, it worked out well riding back and forth to work. 🚵 Didn’t have to deal with any of those woke cops with their radar guns either, or traffic fighting to get down past Eratsus Corning’s House on Southern Boulevard. Rode below that all on the bike trail. It actually was a beautiful autumn day yesterday, 🍁 sunny in the morning and more clouds in the evening ride but still excellent color. All which would have been wasted if I drove my big jacked up truck to work 🛻 and went to Walmart after work. That said, if I had done that my pantry would have been better stocked. 🍇
Stopped at Hannaford on the ride home, 🛒 got my ration of bananas, frozen fruit, onions, grapes, eggs, cornmealand milk. 🛒 Too much of it wrapped in plastic, soon enough to be bright yellow flames sto fascinated with stoned but don’t tell a liberal that No. 5 plastic recycling is a scam. 🔥 My bike was overloaded with all that groceries but I made it home with no eggs breaking. 🥚 Paper cartoon, so more green to pulp trees and throw them away compared to a small amount of styrene and carbon dioxide, but paper won’t burn as well if it gets wet. Truth is I like riding my bike, as it’s healthier 😀 though I admit it seems silly to ride around town when I put so many miles on my truck driving up through the Adirondack Wilderness, even if it wasn’t that far because I mostly rode around town.
Just another Monday, busy, busy, and not busy at time. 🖥️ Fun with SQL and R, building and comparing data frames and running queries and numbers. And some downtime too to update the blog and upload photos, maps and vacation memories. I want to post a bit more about campsites on Floodwood Road and Little Green Pond so people have a good reference. 🗺️ We se how things go today, you never know how busy things are. Pine Bush hearings again tonight, I’ll get a ride home with Lynne 🚙 and then bus it in on Wednesday. Mid-day tomorrow I’ll probably ride downtown to the Farmers Market 🍏 and visit the colleagues downtown.
I have a vague notion in my head that Vermont might be fun for the weekend, 🏕️ but I don’t know at this point, depends on the weather and I could use a quiet weekend close to home. I’ll see when it gets closer to the weekend, I have a lot of things I should do. Like some cleaning around the apartment and organizating things since vacation. But then again I did have a lot of fun on my week off and really didn’t spend that much money in wilderness, as I mostly drove up there, parked and rod everywhere on my bike. 🚲 So I don’t know.
A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter. “Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting. They were commonly used to provide DC power for commercial, industrial and railway electrification from an AC power source.”
