Already the leaves are starting to change colors and the mornings and evenings are increasingly dark. Foggy this morning!

As expected it was a pretty cool and cloudy ⛅ day yesterday and I mostly spent the day around camp, reading 📖 and thinking 💭 with a midday and evening bike 🚲 ride down along Jessup River and Mud Lake Road. Today should be much nicer as the fog 🌫 burns off.

Had a brief campfire last night 🔥 but it was pretty brief because by about 8:15 the rain started and I went to bed 🛏 shortly there after. Mornings are so dark these days. Autumn is here, it’s September. 🍂 It’s hard to conceive that in three or four weeks the woods will be full of vibrant fall colors and gun fire.

Today I’m thinking of riding Jessup River Road down to Little Moose Lake trailhead 🚲 and then hiking there back to Little Moose Lake. 🏞 I did most of the ride back there last year but ran out of daylight for the hike. I might leave my truck down by Jessup River and after riding go for a float on the Jessup River ⭕ before heading back to camp 🏕. It’s just such a big long hill from camp down to the Jessup River. Tonight is the fire tower 🗼 lighting across the Adirondacks but I think I’d rather just enjoy the starry ✨ tonight and have a nice fire. They don’t light up Pillsbury, otherwise I would check it out. Speculator last year was sort of fun but it’s a late night driving back and once you done it once I’m not sure I’d want to do it again.

I got to say I do like that Strawberry Runtz 🍓 cannabis, I tried it out last night. Just a puff and it’s so relaxing but not overly intoxicating or sleepy. It just feels good. Still haven’t set my mind on my choice but at some point I just want to get flower and a pipe as it seems like that the economical and environmentally friendly way to do it. Although I worry about it staying fresh based on how little I really smoke. I do like the rich colors 🌈 and how the leaves and clouds glisten when you are high. The key 🗝 is to smoke good grass, not too much 😄 and be in the moment, relaxed and paying attention to the world around you.

I got the remainder of the August borrows off of Hoopla 📙 and I should have a lot of good reads 📖 for the rest of the trip and the first half of the month. Got a book about Zen Buddhism, Farm Life, Rebuilding Old Houses and one on Unix API programming with C. I like to have the gambit of topics to read and think about 🤔 especially now with it getting dark out early. Plus some audio 🔉 books to listen to riding my bike to work. 🚲 Yes, I’m still into that hippie shit, though not so much into peace ✌️ beads 📿 or long hair. 👧🏼 I did that long hair thing when I was young and it’s more annoying than anything else as it gets sweaty and full of mud and manure.
