Good morning! Where did July go? Tomorrow is August already – I know, wow. Partly sunny and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 58 degrees.

I went for my morning walk 🚶 and it was quite pleasant. I’m going to head down to the library shortly and work down there, the internet is so much faster and reliable there 💻 plus my phone is a dying so I can’t use that for internet or email right now. 💀

Scheduled my oil change for Tuesday. 🔧 I used do it myself but by the time I ran to two or three stores to buy oil and the in filter, struggled to get the filter off, it just isn’t worth my time. Plus then you have the used oil to return – if u lived out in the country I’d use it to burn brush 🔥 but in the city I have to take it bdck to the store for recycling. ♻ Oil kind of stinks when you burn it too and the synthetic stuff I swear is harder to burn.
