Daily Update – June 12, 2022

Good morning! Happy Sunday. ☀

A remarkably nice spring day. Not at all what I expected. Decided to walk out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center after putting around, working on some code.

Partly sunny and 72 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. ☀ There is a south-southeast breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 57 degrees.

Both yesterday and today I walked 🚶 out to Five Rivers. Today along Meads Lane, yesterday the more direct way as my contact lens 👀 was bothering me at the end of the day. Besides that been spending most of my weekend at home due to high gas prices. ⛽ You can avoid the pump if you don’t drive. Maybe I would have gone to the Gas Up were gas not so expensive. 🚜

I should have my 10,000 steps in by the time I get home. 👣 I’ve been doing well above that for all week, and I expect to be above that by later. 🍔 In afternoon I’ll be joining the folks for Sunday dinner and then depending on the weather I might do a quick 🌃 evening hike.

I am hoping to take off Thursday or Friday of next week to head up north for a five day weekend. ⛺ Not totally sure where I’m going or when, I’m a bit concerned about the end of the week forecast though the weekend looks nice but cold with highs in the upper 60s. But it’s been a long time since I have gotten out of town.
