Just very overcast. The carrot pancakes and coffee helped a bit, got up around 5:30 as I was to bed at a reasonable hour.

Feels good sitting by the fan ⚛ but when you get away from it you are reminded you are still in the swamp with the humidity. 😰 Five Rivers 🐦 was nice last night but I had to cringe more than a little bit listening to the President’s press conference. The guy has studdering problem and sometimes gets names mixed up. Still seems pretty sharp but it has to be tough to be president at such an advanced age. I like Biden – he’s better on climate and consumer protections then Trump, though I think Trump would be better on the second amendment and limited government.

Finishing up packing but truly how much gear ⚙ do I need for two nights in the woods 🌲🌳 and bicycling 🚲 along with lots of swimming 🏊 and eating fresh sweet corn. Not a lot of gear for sure but now that I think I really should bring the griddle for the corn 🌽. I’ll probably stop tonight on the way out if they’re still open and it’s not pouring rain. 🌧️ I concede this evening could be wet though I’ll be pretty far north and west of the worse of the rain.

I have a bunch of interviews today, 🤝 we will see how they go. Then live stress testing of the new robo call system. 📞 Hopefully this time it won’t break. Then off to Schoharie. But first I need to shower 🚿, get a few supplies 🏪 and gas up. ⛽ But even if tonight is wet tomorrow looks great. ☺

Still trying to dry out my old phone, 📱 with hopes of retrieving some of the photos 🖼 and pictures from the last camping trip. Still too wet to get booted. I guess it doesnt’ matter, most of the photos I cared about were taken on the camera or were on the SD card.
