Wasn’t the worse of Fridays until I got a flat tire going into the office … 🚴
Not sure what I ran over but that front tire went flat quickly on my bike along Erie Boulevard. Something big, I pushed my bike the last 1/4 mile to the office. But I still was in plenty early and I should be in okay for legislative hours.
It’s stupid but annoying to say the least. 😡 If it hadn’t been a Friday, I would have just left my bike at the office and brought the wheel home and patched it. But alas, I am going to bus it home tonight, have a quick dinner, go get my bike, and then run to the store. 🏪 I will get the propane tank filled; 🏮 and get some extra food for camping and other supplies for the coming week, as I probably won’t shop again until vacation. 🍏 Might be nice to sit down by the river for a while this evening reading, although I’m kind of tired. 📚 If I need any other food items in mean time, I’ll just get them at Hannaford riding in to work.
Tomorrow I want to get out early 👷♀️ before the inevitable pickup trucks and the grinding and sawing 🪚 that is part of the endless next door construction on the rebuild of the unit next door. I’d rather get out early before all the craziness starts. It’s creepy having the landlord snooping around, and it’s just loud and noisy with all the construction. They keep gutting more and more of that unit next door. 🏗 I’d rather be away while it’s happening. Though it doesn’t look quite as nice as they had first predicted for the weekend, with more clouds ⛅️but at least seasonably warm and low humidity. Sunday seems nicer. 😎 Still it’s too bad no nature bus to Thacher Park tomorrow. But I’m thinking hammock camping tomorrow 🦦 and maybe finding a swimming hole for Sunday before heading out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 🍔
A week from now I should be in the Finger Lakes. 😁 I really want to get to For the Love of Bacon as close to 7 AM as possible on Friday, so I can hit Ithaca by around 11 AM or so. ⏲ That way mid-day I can set up camp, and be ready when I need to clock in work in the afternoon. The long range suggests it will warm up again for summer vacation, but maybe more unstable with thunderstorms. 🌩 But alas, it’s summer. Warm is good for pool time and floating on Seneca Lake in the tube or kayaking. Even biking ain’t bad on trails in the shade. 🚲 Or just relaxing in the hammock, doing some reading. And if there are rainy days, they are good for some reading, hanging out, maybe having a smoke or two. 🚬 Plus doing some cooking. 👩🍳 And ice cream is certainly good when it’s hot. 🍨
