Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is November 🥧. Mostly cloudy and 43 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ☁ Calm wind.The skies will clear tomorrow around 2 am.

Kind of a typical late October day with the colors fading 🍂 and the air smelling like wood smoke 💨 and cow manure. 🐮 Seasons always change so quickly. Kind of a rough ride in, the driver has slammed on the brakes of the hybrid a few times. Seems to stop well though. It’s one of the older hybrids without windows that open and it smells like cleaner. Maybe I’m just a bit over sensitive as I’m not feeling all that great.👃

I still feel like shit 😫this morning but it’s off to work. This morning I think I have fever, as I was sweating a lot when I woke up. Still have a headache too and achy but there is too much to do to call in sick. I did get to bed by 7 pm so I got twelve hours of sleep and will rest up over the weekend. I want to knock on some doors for David Bissember tomorrow but only if I’m not too sick. ✊

I am hoping that I feel good enough to be out and about tomorrow. 🙋 I would like to do some door knocking in Troy then go hiking maybe at Peebles Island or possible somewhere more outlaying in Rensselear County like Burden Pond or Grafton Lakes. 🐸 If the rain wasn’t expected to start so early on Sunday morning, I’d say I’d hike somewhere in Western Rensselear County and camp overnight in the Green Mountain National Forest.🚶
