Sun is shining and not so cold, I wasn’t going to ride in until I changed my mind. Even warmer than yesterday.
I’ve been continuing to ride in with the cold. 🚲 It’s the evenings I don’t love but the way I look at it, when I’m riding I get my exercise in and once I have dinner I can kill the lights and snuggle under the heated blanket for a long winters night. Going to warm up come the weekend though I doubt I’ll be able to keep my windows open. Looks like Albany might get a good rain 🌧️ the second half of next week.
It’s just been busy, busy busy at work 📃 and then come home and sleep. Tomorrow I need to get shopping 🛒 and probably up to Salvation Army to get shirts 👚 for work and drop off the big jeans 👖 and then riding in the Pine 🌲 Bush. Then get some food. I cooked up rice, red lentils and tomatoes with spices and corn for lunch and dinner bt my pantry is getting pretty bare. I made sure to limit the heat on the stove and crack open a window to keep from my flooding my apartment with moisture.
Heat is back off in my apartment, 
and I don’t see any see anything freezing weather in coming week so I’ll probably keep the heat off. If I’m cold, there is always the electric blanket and warm food and drink to eat. 
Used up the last of the milk in my coffee this morning, so I’ll need to get more before tomorrow morning. 
I haven’t decided if I will bring my laptop home this weeked, though I want to practice writing more C++ code this weekend and start a project I’ve been thinking of developed, 
though I’m also thinking about getting the soldering iron and making some Christmas decorations 
for my office using USB connectors and LEDs and 555 chip. 🧑🔬
At first I was going to take the earlier bus in and walk laps in concourse 
but I realized there would not be enough time. I did not get a real early start this morning unfortunately. 
Mornings are so dark these days, and I wanted to have a nice breakfast of cranberry pancakes 
before showering. Aired my tires on my bike up to 58 PSI and it made for a rough ride with the pavement buckled form the cold in a few places on the bike trail.
It makes busing it both ways a pleasant seeming option. Maybe on Friday I will do the busing thing, as I want to bring my laptop home this weekend 
I don’t mind the cold but that wind can sure be biting at time, especially if it’s a north wind, riding up Erie Boulevard in Albany.
but I don’t have any plans for trips until the weekend after Thanksgiving. Instead, I want to get drop off the jeans 
that are too big for me but still are in good condition at Salvation Army and look at getting some more dress shirts to wear. Then maybe riding trail at Albany Pine Bush 
, assuming it’s not too soft due to the lack of rain. And maybe hitting up Aldi’s for food in Colonie, though that store is always packed, a mess and not well stocked. Maybe it’s better just to plan on visiting Wallie World early on Sunday. 
My pantry currently is quite bare as I didn’t go shopping after camping.
