Cool start to a Tuesday 🍂

Clear and crisp this morning again, vest wearing weather but should be nice for heading into the office on the mountain bike. Leaving early I hit more traffic especially around the schools but once I make it to the bike path it’s bliss.

Went out to Five Rivers Fisher Boulevard Parcel 🍂 mostly to hang out and read and observe nature until a little after 7 PM when I headed back as I’m down to one rear light on the bike and I didn’t want to be completely dark riding through the suburbs. I’ve broken or lost a few of the lights, I’m going to need to order another set soon, especially before the time change. They’re not expensive but they also don’t last, especially the last batch I got. Probably more expensive now thanks to China tarrifs.

More fried yellow squash last night, and this morning was zucchuni pancakes 🥞 with some of that peanut butter powder, bananas, oatmeal, whole-wheat flour, Stevia and topped with frozen blueberries and sugar-free syrup. I could get the real stuff but it’s expensive, often comes in glass, and I’d rather just have less calories and eat more. I tell you that 5-gallon bucket I keep on the floor is the best way to collect the compost, I like being able to drop food scraps, coffee and other wet shit in it.

The weekend continues to look good. 🏕️ I am leaning towards spending it up in Vermont but I could go somewhere in New York where I could shoot tree rats and find some chicken of the tree mushrooms to fry up with onions. 🐿️ That sounds good. And just eat more zucchuni. It makes me sad to think it will be only another month or so of fresh zucchuni and yellow squash before it’s done for year. Then it’s just winter squash and pumpkin in the oven. 🎃 I thought about baking some bread up the other day, 🍞 but it’s a lot of work and I’m sort of trying to cut back a little on carbs, even though I only use whole-wheat flour and this time of year,

I probably would use a lot of zucchuni in the bread, 🍆 because it makes everything so soft and moist, just like my blueberry pancakes. I got my Explaination of Benefits from my recent yearly physical, and I swear it was 1/2 lb of paper trash to tell me I owe the lab $25 for the tests that showed I was fairly healthy, bar the few pounds I’ve been working off now that it’s been a few weeks of not drinking and eating ice cream 🍦. Summer vacation is just a distant memory, but then again there is weekend. I probably will want visit the grass store before then. 🌾 I’ve never visited the new one on Colonie Street, though it’s hard to go wrong with th guys up in Menands.
