Good Morning! Happy Friday. The unusual Friday summer bus blog post. I thought about driving in today, but it’s such a pain fighting traffic downtown, especially with all the construction, new lower speed limits, extreme parking regulations, and traffic cameras. The politicians in Albany have to make their money to pay for the “free” government-funded abortions somehow.

Nice cool morning. Almost zero humidity, which kind of follows the trend of the summer so far. There have been a few ungodly hot summer days, but most of the summer has been delightful cool and sunny. They say El Nino is coming, and it will get balmy hot by the end of summer, but I will believe it when I see it. So far, except for a few work days, the summer has been so nice.

Probably am going to head out camping this weekend. Maybe tonight, depending at what time when I get out of work. I have most of my gear ready to go, at least for tent camping. That said if I don’t get out of work before 5 PM, I will probably forget it, as I still have to stop at the store and pick up a few more things. It’s one thing to camp with Big Red, setting after dark, when you can the set the lights up electrically, and don’t have to set up a tent.

Summer is rapidly evaporating, as time moves on. Today is the 7th to last Friday in summer, assuming you consider Labor Day Weekend to be the unofficial start to the autumn season. By Labor Day Weekend, the sun will be setting around 7:30 PM, and warm weather isn’t always guaranteed, especially with the recent chilly summer weather. At least at that point I should have Big Red back, and I will have lights set up for camping.
