Those mild mornings won’t last forever πŸŒ…

That’s what I’m thinking. It’s usually much colder when I’m camping at Rennselaerville State Forest because I usually camp up here during the autumn through early spring when the mercury is normally much cooler.

Yesterday was quite colorful with the colors of late summer 🍁 before the leaves really start to pop. It was a nice day of leisurely strolls in the woods, 🌲 reading πŸ“– and just hanging out. Mornings though are dark now as are the evenings. πŸ”₯ Had a nice fire but I was tired 😴 and retired to bed fairly early.

Today I have some work to do, πŸ–₯ reviewing a campaign plan and more data jobs and then I’ll go for a hike at Huyck Preserve and then out to the folks house 🏑 for Sunday dinner. I’m not sure if the bike 🚲 shop is open on Monday but maybe Tuesday I can pick up my bike and get back on the road. Watching the forecast for next week, maybe I’ll head to Vermont depending on the weather as soon as Thursday evening, though I work late on Thursdays which means this time of year it will be driving 🚘 in the dark through Moose country and setting up in the dark. 🦌 Which isn’t so cool. I could leave Friday morning, but then I would hit the traffic in Albany and Troy depending on how I go.

Stereophonic Records πŸ’Ώ

Many people are opposed to stereophonic records. They say such recordings are unnatural, the melodies aren’t actually coming from around you. But they are wrong. I encourage you to listen to a recording in mono then flip it into stereo. You will see how much you are missing in this world.

Marijuana, America’s most dangerous illegal drug | MPR News

Methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin may be America's most addictive and destructive drugs, but marijuana is the most dangerous illegal drug in our nation. The reasons for this conclusion are many. First is that marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in America. Almost 2 million persons began using marijuana last year in the United States, and marijuana use starts at a younger age than most other illicit drugs.

As spoken by Robert Du Pont. Because giggles and sparkles on the waterfalls and trees, and really good rock and roll music is such a threat to America. 

I do like Rennselaerville

I really should consider buying land and building my off grid homestead out here, despite the obnoxious commute and my reservations about all things New York State besides of course the legal grass I like to smoke. On the other hand, there are many epic places in other states with better gun and fire laws. But I just don’t know, God Damn It.
