Good Morning – October 28, 2021

Good morning! Happy Thursday. β˜€

Looks like it’s going to be a nice one after a cold start this morning with temperatures heading into the upper fifties by afternoon.

It’s cloudy and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ There is a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. πŸƒ. Cool but not unreasonable for late October.

I decided against taking today off in favor of Monday πŸ™€ as I needed to ensure coverage for my department and because I figured a four day weekend would be nicer – I might even head out of town.

Realized that I grabbed the wrong mask 😷 heading down to the bus so I’m not color coordinated but so be it. Good to rotate things a bit.

Last night I went to Walmart and got food πŸͺ and supplies. I also got some more weatherstripping to further snug up my door πŸšͺ in preparation for the cold winter weather that is just around the corner. I am trying to stop as many air leaks as possible.

The tires have been ordered for my truck 🚚 but they are on back order. I ended up going with the General Grabber ATX, as they were a significantly more affordable option – like $400 less than then the Nitto Terras – and my truck is getting old. πŸ€” If they remain unavailable come mid month I might get BFGs but they’re more expensive and not as highly recommended on TireRack. ⚫ The BFGs look nice but in my experience not the greatest tires ever.

I took off the second week of November β›Ί for probably going out to the Finger Lakes National Forest to hunt 🐰 🐿️and camp but I might also spend some time exploring the World’s End State Park and Loyalstock State Forest while I’m on vacation. πŸ“Έ I think West Virginia is too far with current gas prices. β›½

It might snow 🌨 and be cold by then, but I could always hot tent πŸŽͺ and use my heater then. It certainly looks like it might be a pretty cold week. Potomac Road is plowed in the winter. Or I guess I could do some skiing 🎿 and shorter trips. Nothing is set in stone yet besides the days off.
