I went on Ali Express today and ordered some electronic components for a project I’m thinking about building this winter. 📬 Ali Express is a great place to buy inexpensive Chinese components for electronics projects. It’s like Radio Shack only slower, much cheaper and with a much wider selection.

I forgot that I am out of contact solution, 👀and left the extra bottle I had in the office. It’s fine, I needed to get fresh contacts at any rate as my eyes are getting irritated from the long days in the office. I’ll just wear glasses in the morning. 👓

Heading Out of the Mountains

Oran Delphi Switchback

The Oran-Delphi Switchback is one of the smaller of the two big switchbacks on US 20 in Southern Onondoga County, as it tries to limit the steepness of the surrounding hills by ducking a bit down south from the straight course, after climbing out of Cazenovia and heading to Pompey.

So today was yet another busy day at work. Just lots of things going on as Election Day creeps closer. Technically at this point less than 24 days until the polls close. ⏳ I’ll be glad when it’s over once again 📮and I can get on to my road trip, hunting and the holidays. I miss the nights in the wilderness. I hate suburbanite life and all the consumerism that surrounds it. 📦I look forward to nice nights relaxing in the wilderness, laying back in the hammock, enjoying a fire and cooking in the back country. 🔥
