Good morning! 18 days left in 2021 on this Monday. 📅

Time goes by so quickly. I am old enough to remember when it was still 2019. But in two and half weeks, we will be celebrating the double deuce, the year of twenty-two in the twenty first century with our muzzles on, at least if you go some public place indoors. Not sure how much it will stop the COVID, but it will give the socialists boners in their pants, knowing that they are morally superior.

Partly cloudy and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 8 pm. ☃️

Kind of a dark morning, but I’m up and going. 🌅 At some point the sun will rise and clouds will part. I have today, so I want to do some hiking, but first I want to stop by Tractor Supply in Glenmont or maybe in Rensselaer County and get some propane.

I am thinking about going out to Beebe Hill or maybe Taconic Trail to hike today. ⛽ I am going to need fuel before then though, and I don’t want to go too far from home. Maybe Grafton Lakes to the fire tower and some of the trails I have never done? I haven’t hiked there in a while. That’s an interesting option.

I need to wash my kitchen floor. 🧽 It’s so dirty these days. I keep telling myself I need to do that. Maybe after my trip. I did scrub down the counters and part of the bathrooms yesterday.

It really is cold in my apartment, ❄️ I really should turn up the heat.

I finally got the kitchen garbage out — I don’t think I’ve taken it out since I got back from November trip. With recycling and composting there really isn’t that many wrappers. But so much paper trash. That crate is getting full. 🔥 As they no longer have free paper recycling, ♻️ I am going to have to go up to the woods and turn it into CO2 with the rest of my burnables. At some point I’ll have to take the cans 🥫 to the transfer station, but probably not until later in the winter, when I can also recycle the accumulated plastic bottles.
