It got nice for a while, although now it is partly cloudy. 43 degrees but feels warmer when there is no breeze. More clouds mid afternoon and some clearing before sunset at 7:32 pm. Thinking about going out to Rensselaerville to hit up Ten Mile Creek but we will see, it depends if it’s cloudy enough as its a bit of a drive from here. Alternatively maybe I’ll go for a walk and explore more of the Normans Kill ravine.

Busy morning. First cleaned out my truck, took a load of bottles and cans to the transfer station for recycling. Guy at the booth said I could park the truck over there and he’ll give me a ride home. Sweet truck he said. I couldn’t believe how many of the cans I had for recycling were burnt out – I only burn cans I use when camping – but I guess I’ve spent a lot of time camping.

Then I cleaned out my truck, sweeping the bed down, fixed the wiring on the truck cap to the shelf and gun rack that had pulled loose, running it this time in conduit to make it less likely to get tangled in gear. All the lights work again, although I do need to get some better super glue to re-glue down the power outlet. Put most of the gear back in truck.

I don’t think I’ll be out truck cap camping until the last week of the month but I may set up a tent at a local state forest and camp overnight next Saturday. 61 degrees and sunny next Saturday with a low of 39. A week from Sunday may reach 69. Which sounds hot but the reality is that the average temperature by next week is in the upper 50s, so 60 odd degree weather shouldn’t be rare.
