Maybe I should cut back on the turmeric. That 6.2 oz bottle I bought last Sunday is third eaten already. My teeth could yellow and folks think I’m a smoker, lol.
That said I shouldn’t have to worry much about tooth plaque or gingivitis.
I just like my food yellow and tasty plus I never have any aches anymore despite climbing all the those stairs and riding all those miles.
I have been doing some digging around about the disappearing SNODAS snow depth web coverage service (WCS), that allows you to download and and process new-real time raster data regarding snow depth.
WCSโฏโ delivers raw geospatial data (e.g., satellite imagery, elevation grids) as coverages that clients can query, subset, or process. Itโs dataโcentric and lets you retrieve the actual values.
WMSโฏโ returns preโrendered map images (PNG, JPEG, etc.) that are styled for display. Itโs visualizationโcentric; you get a picture of the data, not the data itself.
This past autumn I went up to the St. Regis Canoe Area and later the Boreas Pond Area. Places I would not normally visit except off-season, mostly because in summer months their overrun by the woke and the jack-booted thugs that work for the government, who are mostly there to rescue the woke when the do their ordinarily stupid things.
Off-season, particularly once the leaves are well pack peak, you can find solitude in such lands, but I don’t want to have my wilderness experience ruined by searching for parking between the acres of Subarus and Honda SUVs, then hiking in mobs of giggling girls talking loudly about their latest track and field run.
I shared a few pictures from Boreas Ponds on Facebook, and immediately all the woke started to have their penises stick up in their pants, and commented OMG! so beautiful. As somehow the jagged peaks of the Adirondack High Peaks set the standard for beauty, and no other part of the Adirondacks or anywhere else for that matter, is worthwhile commenting on. Maybe good for them, enjoy the constrained recreation in that little woke sacrifice zone of the Adirondack High Peaks.
Honestly, except off-season after the crowds pass by, I’ll stay away from those areas. Reserve them for the woke. Let them defile such lands as the gangs of woke approach, while pretending in their minds that their protecting the lands via the latest guidelines put out by the Leave No Trace corporate leaders, funded by Subaru and the makers of high-tech clothing drenched in PFOAs.
You could smell the carbon monoxide from the cars this morning at the traffic light as I hurried out to the local bus downtown. Catalytic converters don’t work well in the cold and engines don’t cycle between rich and lean until they get fully warmed up. If I had taken Big Red to work today, he would have been such a dog on the bypass before he warmed up, going 0 to 55 in I don’t know a minute or two. It needs a light on the dash to show that it’s movingwhen it’s cold. Compression what’s that in the cold?
But regardless it’s warm on the bus downtown. Wasn’t sure when I first got on the bus but the driver cranked up the heat. I actually watched the bus real time info and checking that the bus had left Price Chopper before heading out to the stop. Then it’s a quick dip under the portico of that gaudy old office building downtown, then through the Concourse where I’ll wait inside for the shuttle over to the Starship. I need to dig out Big Red tomorrow and clean off the solar panel to top off the batteries. Sunday I’ll head over to visit the folks and maybe Monday or Tuesday I’ll drive to work. But the other days my hope is to be riding back to work. Not sure if I’ll be able to do the Rail Trail with the snow and ice but the alternative is Corning’s Hill which is fine. Friday is the Christmas, I mean Holiday Party at work. Or whatever the Trumpster wants to call it, as long as he doesn’t keep taking datasets off the internet.
It was so windy in the wind tunnel between the Capitol and the Concourse this morning. The Capitol was actually a bit cold this morning while the Concourse was warm. Go figure that’s rarely the case. My office in the Starship is above the loading dock which offers some comedy when it’s icy and the semi trucks but everybody says it’s cold in the winter but it’s unlikely for me to notice as I keep my heat at 50 degrees at home . I do wish I had a woodstove. Should have bought a house or a cabin or something.
I was up at 4 AM this morning. Had to pee and poop and figured that meant it was time to heat up coffee on the peculator. Then it was cornmeal pancakes with carrot, oatmeal, onions, whole-wheat flour and stevia. Topped with more of Franks Red Hot Sauce and plain Greek yogurt. Does Franks Red Hot Sauce count as a processed food? I guess it does, and its loaded with salt. But it’s calorie free as it’s mostly just peppers and salt, and a bunch of wonder chemicals. So I don’t know if it’s the worse thing ever, certainly better then the crap most people eat. I get the big plastic bottle, which I don’t wash out but just toss it in the white bag and turn it into fire when I’m done. Don’t you know, the woke folk people like to say, burning plastic is so bad, and you can recycle plastic, snicker snicker. As long as it’s not the PVC, it really isn’t that stinky or bad.
Tomorrow more reading and probably a ride out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. Nowย I’m kind of wishing I had skis but it’s just more shit to own, break down and discard. A lot depends ultimately on how cold it is. Next weekend with rifle season done I might do a couple of nights in the wilderness . Depends again on the weather. I have a feeling that the cold will break by the middle to the end of the month because it’s rare cold lasts for any length of time any more.
Next week, I need to schedule the inspection for Big Red. He seems to be running good now, and I replaced that bad license plate bulb, so I’m not anticipating any major issues. But I still think I will replace him next year while he’s still running decently so I can shop around and make decisions without feeling too pressured to buy with a dead truck somewhere along the road. ๐ป I keep telling myself I should just get a simple Toyota Tacoma with the 6-foot bed, but I kind of like the big trucks and want to get a regular cab 3/4 ton 4×4 for the 8-foot bed and the big truck feel but no so much for the gas milage. Probably not going to live in the city for the next 15 years, nor do I need something that big to to cows or other trailers at this point.
