Thursday, dirsday day…. ☀️

Going to be a hot ol’ summer day, though again not too humid. We haven’t had too many real muggers of the day so far this summer, but I’m sure they are coming, even if I’m still waiting for the cap. I will make it a priority to call Andy Ruth this morning.

Today is the last scheduled day of the legislative session, 🏦 after which I feel fairly comfortable about wearing shorts and taking off whatever time is necessary for the rest of the summer. 🩳Next week will be a lot easier to take delivery of the truck cap 🚛 too. I really should call today, but I don’t want to hear the bad news that might be further delayed. Still if I get it next week, and get things mostly wired up the following weekend I’m hoping to be ready to head out of town for Juneteenth Weekend assuming the weather is decent. 🔌 Everything doesn’t have to be perfect but I want the solar and inverter wired up, and the ability to move power from the starting battery/alternator back and forth to the accessory batteries. 🪫

Last night after going to the store 🛒 and getting some supplies, I fried up some onion pancakes and with the heat and my exhaustion went to bed, 🛏️ though didn’t get to sleep until a little before 9 PM and awoke around six AM. ⏰ I’ve just been kind of tired lately, though not feeling like I have Lyme disease. Maybe it’s my impatience about the truck cap, 📆 watching as summer fades away as does the days I’ll be free to travel. Hoping the weather in two weeks will be good enough to take dad to the Gas Up. 🚜 He seems a bit better then Mom, but he turned 79 this year, and will be 80 next February. Things that keep me up at night. I know you can hire people to feed livestock, 🐐 but I also know I only have so many days to travel like I have in years past. I got to call 📱 Ruth’s today and make sure the cap hasn’t been sitting on their lot and they’ve not been able to reach me. I’d love to be able to make the appointment for early next week, hand over the cash, catch the bus downtown and bike the remaining way to work, 🚲 and have the cap ready to go. Getting the second solar panel on Saturday. ☀️ I want to be home to take delivery, but I also hope to get up to Thacher Park on the Nature Bus 🚏 for a while on Saturday to read and hang out. 🌧️ Still talking rain showers and clouds this weekend, but not as wet.

Well I need to get in the shower, 🚿 and then hop o the mountain bike 🚵‍♂️ and peddle to work. Chain started to sound a bit dry, it’s been a few days since I last greased it, so I should do that before I get into the office. Probably a pretty quiet day in the office, yesterday was, just updating and fixing little things in the database using the latest property tax rolls. Maybe this evening I’ll go out to Five Rivers, or I could go to the forum they are having at the local library on AI Data Centers. 🖥️ I sort of like playing with AI but I wish the models were more localized, smaller and more efficent that you could run them on your own computer without all this government and corporate censorship 😶. AI is really good for exploring ideas, getting summaries of various issues.
