I got to run to the Walmart in Gloversville to get the new lamp globe I ordered🏮. They didn’t have it at Glenmont or Amsterdam so I decided Gloversville wasn’t there far out of the way.

Should be a nice weekend up north good and quiet⛺. It’s been so long since I have been back in the mountains.

Taking the Exit 24 tolls this time and paying the extra quarter💰 in hopes of a better commute over the Exit 25 tolls. I’ll watch the ride and decide later on if this way is worth it.
