I was thinking about it a lot and Saturday just doesn’t look great. I was inclined to head out of town but now I’m more leaning towards taking the Nature Bus to Thacher Park on Saturday and then hiking in Rensselaer County on Sunday, possibly hammock camping on Sunday night.

Good morning! What day is it? The Day after Primary Day, of course. 🗳
Not as much of a shit show as one could have feared. Four months from now, who knows. Depends on gas prices.
Mostly sunny and 63 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌞 Calm wind. The dew point is 56 degrees.
This morning I didn’t do good, 🚶 struggling a lot to get going. Maybe I was studying the election results or day dreaming about where I should go this weekend or stay home. 🏡 I think I’ll manage to get my steps in today but I won’t be way over like some days. Tomorrow who knows.
Yesterday was another 20,000 step, 10 mile day. 👣 Why do many steps? Well a lot of it is the game I play with the step counter on my phone 📱 but I also like getting out and seeing things on foot while the weather isn’t too ungodly hot or cold. I figure if I’m pushing forty and trashing my body every other way possible I should at least do some walking. See a lot on foot.
At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 66 degrees. The dew point will be 56 degrees. There will be a south-southeast breeze at 10 mph.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:58 pm with sun having an altitude of 70.8° from the due south horizon (-0° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:55 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (297°). 📸 The sunset is in the borthwest (304°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:38 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 28 seconds with dusk around 9:11 pm, which is 12 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:58 pm.
Tonight will have a Last Quarter 🌗 Moon with 36% illuminated. At 8 AM, the moon was in the south (180°) at an altitude of 51° from the horizon, some 239,830 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by December 21st. Buckle up for safety! 💺 With current gas prices, at $5 a gallon and 20 MPG, that will only cost $59,958 to fuel up your spaceship. ⛽ Consider buying a hybrid. 🌻 The moon will set in the west (277°) at 2:29 pm. The Buck 🦌 Moon is on Friday, July 8.
Cold and rainy this work week then hot for the Friday through the weekend. 🏊♀️
Maybe I will have to get the mug-o-meter back out for the weekend on the blog. Seriously, this looks like this upcoming weekend would have been the one to spend at the Potholers and tubing in the East Canada Creek and the weekend that came and went. But you have to make choices, gas prices are $5 a gallon, groceries and supplies are big bucks, and this was the weekend I could get off, plus I got an extra day for free with the Juneteenth weekend. Just focus on the future, and 2022, which will likely to be declared the worse year ever, will be over in a little over 6 months.

Good morning! What day is it? Back to Work Day, of course. 🏢
Oh was it a struggle to get up this morning, get milk, make coffee and make it down to the later express bus.
Mostly cloudy and 62 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees. The skies will clear Friday around 1 am.
What can I say, back to work. 🏢 It was nice to get away for five days, rare I do that outside of summer vacation. And unlike recent years when there was remote work 💻 this time was fully away from it all at Piseco Powley Road. I still haven’t turned on Facebook yet, I’ll probably do it once I have some content to post.
I didn’t get out for an early morning walk 🚶♀️ but between walking down to the express bus and around the Empire Plaza I should have 3,500 steps in before work 👣 and hopefully by evening I will have my 10,000 in for a day. I’ve been managing that record for 21 days now, so I don’t want to break it.
Over the weekend I had the ABS light come on in my truck. 🚗 It came on a few times when I was up north driving, and I noticed the ABS was being over active when braking but then driving home from my parents house last night it was off. Kind of hard to get it fixed if it stays off, but I will take a wait and see approach, maybe get it looked at before vacation. I like having the traction control especially with those big tires and lift kit, as it really helps when I push the truck too hard in curves to keep it on the road. Also, I have the Takata Air Bag Recall 🎈 which I should get addressed although this point, it’s been so long waiting for the part to come in, that I don’t know how much it matters.
I do want to get out of town again at some point, ⛽ but with gas prices and everything else, who knows when it will be. I am assuming it will be sometime in July. Maybe Independence Day Weekend, though I have my doubts. Certainly not next weekend. 🏕 With inflation so out of control, you really have to pick and choose when you want to spend time in wilderness. It’s just kind of a year of suck. While everybody talked about 2020 being the worse year ever, I actually had a lot of fun that year, and gas prices were quite affordable.
I guess as they say, it is what it is. At least the work week won’t be hot, but the weekend looks much warmer. This isn’t a Thacher Park weekend so no bus out there, so I’ll have to figure out something else closer to home. Maybe I could go kayaking again in the Hudson River.
