It turned out to be a much nicer day than expected as I rushed out to go for a walk this morning before it clouded up but it didn’t get cloudy until late. 🚶 By the time I got back from my morning walk out to Voorheesville on the rail trail, got to the grocery store, I decided I didn’t have time to go skiing. That was fine, I slip and fell and was a bit sore from that not on the ice pocketed rail trail but instead slipping on some black ice.
