Day: March 7, 2026

With temperatures heading up to 50 degrees today, rain this evening and similar temperatures tomorrow – and heading up into the sixties this week – it should help with the melting on the bike trail.

A bit breezy today 🌬️ and without much sun, it’s actually feels outside colder then it is but regardless it should still help with the snow melt. I am hoping we are beyond the worse of winter now, and soon enough I can have my windows open, maybe come Monday just for fresh air. Maybe Tuesday it will be in the 70s. Definately want to ride in that day. Got a Pine Bush hearing on Wednesday to attend, but whatever they’re talking more rain that day, along with heading into next weekend. 🌲 Going to be kind of shit by the time next weekend rolls around weather wise.

Had meetings downtown yesterday, 🏢 and ended up deciding it was late enough in the day that I wasn’t going to head back to Menands so I just rode home from downtown, keeping an eye on my phone and getting any necessary business done. 🤝 I went downtown during lunch, I was actually in my office less then usual, but it was a pretty quiet day after being busy earlier in the week. 🚲 Bike makes for quick and easy parking when I have to run downtown.

Today I’m probably going to head over to Walmart for a few supplies, though my pantry isn’t in awful shape at this point. 🛒 I could wait until tomorrow morning before going out to see the family 👪 or whatever, just pick up groceries during the daily commute on my bike back and forth from work at Hannaford as I don’t have any big shopping needs. Maybe it’s better to wait and use up what I have leftover at this point. More carrot 🥕 and apple 🍏 pancakes 🥞 this morning, lots of coffee, ☕ and just looking out the window hoping for spring 🌸.

Might ride over to Five Rivers, 🐸 both to see Meads Cows 🐄 and bring my boots and go for a hike in the afternoon. They say we might see some sun by mid-afternoon. And just kind of hang out and read, 📖 maybe think more about my next truck. Do I really want that big expensive, but rather basic SuperDuty? Or would I be happier 😊 without a truck, or something smaller but with a nicer interior and more technology. 🖥️ That said, even the work truck SuperDuty is loaded with technocrap compared to my old truck. ⛽ Fuel prices keep going up with the war, which I know tips my leverage in my favor on those rotting trucks, 🛻 still I remember I’m one ultimately paying for said fuel for the truck. But it would be such a great vehicle for camping and back country adventures. Those Toyotas are toy trucks, so tiny, and the half tons are such junk especially without a lift kit, which adds all kinds of problems. ⚖️ I call some people up and ask them their opinion. 📞
