Good Morning! Happy Thursday.  A bright and sunny morning, not too hot either. Going to be a nice one weather-wise.

Today is last day of the work week prior to Friday and the weekend. Looks like it will be another delightful weekend on the weather front. Maybe thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon, but at that point, the weekend is three-quarters done, so does it really matter?

 Going to try to get packed tonight, and maybe leave work early tomorrow for wherever the weekend’s adventures take me.

 Today marks July 10^th, and this weekend opens the Madison County Fair. Not that it’s the biggest fair around, but it’s one of the first fairs of the summer. It will lead up to several weeks of fairs across the state, and then finally the State Fair on Labor Day Weekend. Then the summer comes to its inevitable conclusion. Only 7 weekends of summer left prior to Labor Day Weekend.

 Hopefully Big Red will be back by next weekend. I kind hope I get it back prior to next Friday, next week, so I can check the cap lighting and dual battery, to make sure everything is operating right prior to getting up in the wilderness. I also want to try have things packed in advance, as the equipment I use for tent camping is a fair bit different.

Probably looking the first week of August to put the lift kit on the truck. I need to finalize the hardware I want, then order it, and see if the shop can install that week.
