Good morning! Yeah, it’s a Getaway Friday! 🏕️

The plan is to head north after work. Things are mostly packed up and I have groceries and a plan where to park today and then head right to camp after work.

Sunny and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 21 mph 💨💨💨.

Another blustery red flag 🚩 spring day. But the wind should die down this evening 🌃 and the weekend quite nice. Cold enough that I don’t expect a lot of black flies up north – I’m not bringing the screen tent 🎪 but I will pack DEET. Probably no camp fire 🔥 tonight due to the wind but maybe tomorrow a small one if things aren’t too windy and dry up north.

Figured out a good place to park 🅿 and catch an express bus downtown without the hassles of parallel parking which I am so out of the habit of doing since the pandemic. I think this will work based on what I read in the internet. Gives me the option to avoid the Thruway at rush hour if traffic is heavy. 🚘

Bought eggs and sausage for breakfast 🍳 up at camp. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that. Today was oat meal for breakfast 🥣 which was good with lots of fresh, well frozen fruit.

Fueled up this morning, ⛽ gas price was more than listed on the sign. Gas prices are escalating again due to Russia cutting off natural gas to counties that support Ukraine 🇺🇦 and when you don’t have natural gas you switch to oil 🛢. Still better than a lot of gas prices.

I can bitch a lot about inflation 📊 but I make good money 💵 and I like to travel. Sure I’d like to invest more but I also need to live and pay the bills. My portfolio is growing well and I’m in better shape than a lot of people. I will be able to own my own land eventually.
