Kind of a damp morning for sure. 🍳 Blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Made the walk down to the express bus 🚍 and it’s off to work. Heavy traffic heading into the city but I don’t care I’m not driving. 🚘 I got a much better night sleep last night ☕ because I didn’t drink coffee before bed last night.

Still undecided on next weekend but sure looks nice. ⛺ I could go out to Schoharie County but I’m undecided on that point. Plus I have that Pine Bush meeting I probably should go to on Saturday. But I’m unsure as summer is rapidly fading away but so is my bank account from the summer trips.

Looking ahead, there are 8 weeks until Last Sunset After 7 PM 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 6:33 pm with dusk at 7:01 pm.
