A pretty nice summer morning. ☀ Laying back in the hammock – with the breeze, Picardin on the legs and a hammock sprayed with Permethrin its not too buggy. 🐛

Rained for a while ☔ last night but by morning things were clearing out by morning. Things were just a little damp by morning.

I expect it will be a nice day for working remotely from up in the woods. 💻 I good cell phone reception 📶 here and ample sun for solar power. Maybe even take the laptop and work from the hammock as I look out at the clouds and mountains or if I do need to work from the table use the binoculars for bird watching. 🐦

The lantern post I bought to use the lantern in the tent🏮 worked quite well. I am quite happy with it.

But I don’t know – it might be a pretty busy day at work. 📝
