Daily Update – June 26, 2022

Good morning! Going to be a hot one later on today. 🏖

I went out for my walk early today to beat the heat. Not bad at 6 AM, I was up around sunrise at 5:15 AM.

Mostly sunny and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 60 degrees.

Today’s plan to head back home after the walk 🏃‍♀️ sit by the fan and maybe go down to the library for a while. Head out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. Then maybe an evening walk, to ensure I can get my steps in for the day. 👣 A swimming hole would be nice, but I don’t want to drive my truck too much before it’s repaired, if it was I now think is causing the ABS light to come on my truck.

I was doing some research on the ABS light on my truck, 🛻 and it’s a somewhat more of a priority after I found it’s likely the wheel bearing/hub on the opposite side that I had replaced on West Virginia trip that is going. Makes sense, it’s been somewhat noisy for some time now, and it’s a common issue on Chevy trucks — replace one wheel bearing and then the other side with a weaker speed senor kicks out error codes. Or more likely the bearing just needs to be replaced. I have noticed that bearing get progressively noisier, and even start to complain with the classic wheel bearing squeal when pushed too hard around the curves. Maybe it’s not that but I can hope.

I don’t anticipate it being that expensive, 🔧 if it’s the same thing that happened on the other side of my truck. It’s just one unit, not a real expensive one, and doesn’t take a lot of time to repair. Is what it is, I’ll make an appointment come Monday. I want to avoid doing too many miles before it’s fixed. I can probably make it home from the Adirondacks with a bad wheel bearing and the wheel not falling off, but I don’t want to bother with a tow or a rental car or making a trip to god knows where to pick up my truck once it’s repaired. 

I am not sure if I will be able to get out of town now for Independence Day Weekend 🎆 but truth be told, with gas prices, I’m not that strongly thinking about heading out of town. I want to save my gas money for weekends that are exceptionally warm and sunny. Kind of like this weekend, although maybe a bit warmer still.
