Good morning! Happy Friday before Independence Day Weekend. 🇺🇸

I’m packed for heading out of town but will it happen? A lot depends on how today goes or does not go. Truth be told I’m not hopeful.

Mostly sunny and 76 degrees in Bethlehem, NY. ☀ There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 62 degrees.

I did get home at 11 pm 🌃 and got a half decent night’s sleep so I’m ready to go up north and awake enough to drive there. Things are packed bar the coolers, propane, and personal supplies. It’s such a hot day I didn’t want to leave that stuff in the truck. Plus I just have no idea how long today may be.

I’ve decided if I can leave home by 4:30 or so ⛺ I will head out of town for the holiday weekend but if not I’ll stay home and go hiking in Rensselaer County on Sunday. It looks like a nice weekend but I’m a bit concerned about getting a campsite.

Maybe it was silly to pack for the weekend, 💼 as I knew I would not get out of town, or it was wishful thinking. But it looked so warm and sunny, and I just had my hopes. But alas, I guess those hopes were dashed.
