Tuesday, Tuesday. 😎
Another fairly decent day on tap with rain coming in on Thursday. So maybe I’ll be able to ride in tomorrow but that’s it for the week. I don’t love riding in the dark but what’s the alternative?
Nice morning this morning, sun ☀️ is rising it is clear. Eggs for breakfast 🍳, last night was the bean soup. Cut back a little bit on the coffee ☕ this morning only two cups as the percolator was low and I wasn’t going to make up another pot. Caught a mouse 🐁 in the mouse trap after replacing a battery in it yesterday. The smell of baking bread 🍞 and the cold really brings them in.
Going to ride in a bit after showering 🚿 but first some reading 📖. Today I’m going to try to not be late to work. Its not a big deal but it sets a bad example. It’s been busy at work lately. 📃 With the sun, this should be a nice day for riding in. 
The bicycle has been working good lately, the gears and chain nice and tight 
though I noticed it’s off a gear so I probably need to adjust the cable slightly to make sure i can get up into high. Figuring I’ll replace the chain again at the end of the year, this time myself. I have to get a cable breaker but they’re not expensive.
Ordered contacts online on Friday, 👀 and delivered them yesterday. I was going to the eye doctor but I hate my eye doctor and didn’t want to take time off. Plus they are always trying to upsell you on something. 💸 I should get checked out at some point, or really the solution is to spend the big bucks and get Lasik surgery. Then no more itchy eyes, expensive contacts, or solution to mess with. Get up as soon as you get up and see clearly, no more messing with glasses. 👩⚕️

Chance of Precipation During the Week of November 18, 2024
Good morning, Happy Monday 🧑🍳
Fifteen bean soup with carrots and broccoli are cooking down on the stove top, bread and spaghetti squash are cooking down in the oven. Cranberry pancakes for breakfast and excess amounts of coffee to wash it all down.
Lots of pots cooking down today. 🥣 Many good healthy eats for the week to come. I figured with things going to be so mild today, I could cook things down and then have the windows open during the day time 🪟 to make sure things don’t get too steamy. Plus I’ve been craving some good soup for some time now.
Yesterday I went out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 
Not much has changed, though they’re hoping for rain as am I due to the fire risk. 
There was actuallly a fire in town this morning, I could smell the smoke 
and heard the sirens as the fire truck 
went to the scene. Not sure if it’s a house fire or brush fire. The good news is the second half of the week should be quite rainy. 
No riding the bike in those days.
It was a nice bike ride in, good exercise and the trail wasn’t as bumpy with the warmer weather. Not like last week after the hard frost and having topped off the tires on my bike. I don’t love how dark it is at the end of day or putting the bike on the bus, but eventually Presidents Day will come around and I can ride back home again.
Been spending a lot of time studying VS Code, and build environments. 
For years I’ve dabbled in code, but I want to get more proficent, especially in C/C++ and Rust. R and Python are fine but they aren’t great for big projects,
Fresh ginger 🫚
I got some fresh ginger roots at Aldi’s yesterday and it’s been in every meal since then. Even more pungent and delicious then the ground ginger I normally use while cooking.
It’s always nice when you get back from the grocery store and your pantry 
is fully stocked. Dinner was a delicious mixture of onions, corn, cornmeal, garlic, fresh ginger. Breakfast was onions, eggs, tomatoes, lots of ginger and garlic, more corn and cornmeal, tons of tumeric and a bit of salt. Good start to the day, and I chopped up even more of the fresh ginger in my coffee. And more onions for lunch. 
There is probably a reason why my kitchen regularly smells like onions, I eat so many of them.
Yesterday was fun but a bit cool out riding in the Albany Pine Bush. I went for a walk around Crossgates Maul after riding in the Pine Bush, that is once I found parking, after turning in the wrong parking lot that was already full by Best Buy. 
The maul is smaller then I remembered, I walked the entire internal corridor in about 15 or 20 minutes and headed back to my truck. Wasn’t a single store or business that interested me at the maul. Still lots of smell of those stinky perfumes that teenagers like, and the Apple store was absolutely packed. Honestly, I felt more at home when I got into the b
