Daily Update – June 28, 2022

Good morning! Happy Primary Day. 🗳

At least for those districts that the special master-baiter in the Bath didn’t wreck yet. Of course, is it still primary day if you early voted as I already did some time last week?

Mostly sunny and 58 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 51 degrees.

The sun ☀ is shining and it’s a pleasant morning out for the walk walk 🚶 a little before 6:30. Not too hot yet although in the sun you can feel it warming up like most late June days. Not a real hot day, heading up to 77 degrees later.

Yesterday went down to the park 🏞 and read 📖 for a while until dusk. 18,900 steps yesterday 👣, today marks 25 days of getting my steps in for the day. That step counting app is a good kick in the ass to get moving. My boots 👢 I got in West Virginia are pretty worn at this point and need replacing. I want to try and get another week out of them before the holiday weekend.

I was thinking about going up to Peebles Island after work today, 🏝 but I decided I would wait until next week. I might end up needing to the store to get groceries, 🏪 as I was realizing this morning I had less in my pantry then I had expected. So my trip might be to the store. I was a bit hesitant to go to store tonight, because I wanted to have a better idea on what my weekend plans were going to be first, but so be it. I can always make another trip to the store later in the week. Gas isn’t that expensive, though it is. ⛽

I keep seeing those eco ads 🌎 that are supposed to make you feel guilty about your carbon footprint and buy stuff. I like trolling them. The thing is that I drive a big jacked up truck 🛻, burn my garbage 🔥 with one trip a year to recycle cans and glass ♻ , use Styrofoam plates at camp 🍽️ and don’t buy a lot of shit.  👜 Biodegradable trash bags are dumb if you don’t use many and you end up burning them with the rest of the burnable crap. Eventually I plan to use feed sacks and reuse them as many times as possible before sending them up in smoke – and butcher my own livestock 🔪 🐮  not wrapped in plastic. 🗑 Now that’s green. 🥗

Been looking at replacing the battery on my laptop. 🔋 The last battery I got from EBay or Amazon — I don’t remember lasted about a year and a half before going bad. Now it’s no it holds no charge whatsoever. I might end up just getting another inexpensive battery, as my laptop is kind of on it’s last legs and I want to get whatever life I can get out of it 👨‍💻 before having to throw it away and replace it. I tend to wear out and break my computers before they need upgrading.
