Getting away this weekend for some rest and relaxation in the wilderness. πŸ•οΈ Hoping for a mostly rain-free weekend, but I'll take whatever the weatherman gives. πŸ˜ƒ And then it's just cruising into Memorial Day πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²Weekend and kicking off. ⭕️ I was looking at the tube and thinking it won't be long before I'm floating down the East Canada Creek. πŸ–οΈ

Looks like tomorrow will be first ninety degree day of the year β˜€

Today is going to head up to 83 which isn’t too bad. But then again it is May 21st and Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner.

Early mail voted this morning βœ‰ for the Democratic Primary and plan to vote in the school 🚸 board election this evening πŸŒƒ on my way out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. 🐦 Already need to start thinking about the weekend, I’ll probably pack on Thursday night and stop up on camp β›Ί supplies on Friday morning on the way to work.

Went to the laundromat yesterday πŸ‘š and got groceries. πŸ›’ Only fifty bucks in groceries as my pantry remains fairly well stocked. 🍏 Plus as it’s gotten hotter out my meals 🍴 have gotten simpler.

I decided my phone is working well enough πŸ“± that I’m going to see if I can get a few more weeks out of it. I think I know what the replacement will be but I figure if the screen is working good enough for now I’m good. Sometimes procrastinating isn’t a bad thing, I would prefer to maximize the usefulness of things. A factory reset might help clean up my phone and make it work better.

I took apart the food processor yesterday βš™οΈ and I think it’s the plastic planetary gears inside that are slipping but none of them look worn. I’m going to take a second look tonight and if I can’t fix it I’ll probably get another mini food processor / chopper so I can shred carrots πŸ₯• and onions for pancakes πŸ₯ž and Johnny cakes. Or maybe I’ll look at something like a hand chopper. It would be nice if it was small enough I could easily run it off the inverter in the truck to use at camp β›Ί. Especially in the autumn if I can work remote, I’m going to want to be to chop things up. πŸ—‘
