I bet the teats on that camel in Vermont is cold this morning 🐪

Ended up waiting and taking the local home. 🚏 Then I gave the riders parked at the Elm Ave Park and Ride a ride over in my big jacked up truck. 🛻 And of course the local was running late too so I didn’t end up having dinner until 6:45 and I was hungry.

The lock 🔒 on my door 🚪 has been acting up again but I found another key 🗝 and seemed to free it up. I’ll have to see if I have some lock grease around or I’ll have to call the landlord. I think things corroded up a bit from the heavy rain over the weekend.

The next step on the bicycle 🚲 rebuilding process is confirming the spoke length and studying up on the truing process. Then rebuilding the wheel.

I was hoping for a nice weekend ⛺ so I could get out of town before the black flies 🐜 were out in mass but it seems unlikely based on the current forecast. Plus I saw the governor announced a budget extender through Friday so probably not using a get out of jail free card 🆓 for Thursday and Friday this week. Maybe next, if I go to the Adirondacks I’ll bring bring DEET and the screen tent 🎪.

The long range looks cool 🌺 for closing out the month and heading to May. But will El Nino on its way I’m sure it will be cool until it’s not. 🏖 Somehow I expect the second half of the month to be ungodly hot.
