Today as to be expected, was a relatively quiet day at work.🏃Had a nice lunch time walk. Tonight I have some family business to take care of then I’ll probably retire early to bed. Today was pay day but the end of the month is coming soon so I should save the money for paying rent. Okay, I admit I did order 200 warm LED lights from China for $2 for a project I’m thinking of building. But really the bus fare is $3 a day for me and I didn’t ride yesterday due to the holiday. 

I’m hoping with the warmer weather melting the snow I can  get out camping in a few weeks,⛺ but if not as some point I’ll have to fix that ground on the truck cap and clean it out, and run to the transfer station with all the bottles and cans I have in there. 🚮 I can recycle the paper locally which cuts down a lot, and I burn the non recyclable paper trash in the summer while camping.
