In other words, a massive solar spill is expected today, turning meters hooked to solar panels everywhere, as we move on with life after a Tuesday when the President was threatening to end a civilization which promised in turn to end fossil fuels. And I own a $60,000 SuperDuty though I’m sure with the 77 miles and week parked on driveway, it’s worth far less then that now. I’ll be in my office on northside of Assembly Data Center and Printing Plantoverlookingthe old city garbage dump, so I have no fear of getting a sun burn.
The sun is shining this morning, ☀️ and while cold for a mid-April morning, it is a sign of hope as we got beyond through the freaky day when the President threatened to remove one civilization, with maybe the collateral damage of removing all civilization and fossil fuels ⛽ from society. And yeah, I bought that F-350 SuperDuty. 🛻 I ordered strips for my EZ-Pass and changed the plates to commercial ones on EZ-Pass system. No, I can’t take the new truck on parkways, but there really isn’t many of them Upstate. 🚀 I continue to watch Artemis II flies past the moon, with both a curiosity and indifference like most Americans. Just another freaky event, not exactly something I care about, but I get the benefit of space exploration and investing in science and technology ⚙️ even if we don’t know the immediate result. The Apollo missions also was greeted with indifference or thoughts of this is a wasteful spending that President wants, except for a very brief period in 1968 which images of earth and men stepping on the moon 🌎 filled the screen, interrupting the devastating news about assainations the Vietnam War.
It was cold and blustery 🌬️ yesterday, for the ride home but definately survivable. Cornmeal pancakes 🥞 with lots of spinach last night, this morning was apple 🍏 cinnamon pancakes with lots of shredded carrots. 🥕 Those overpriced carrots I got from Market32 on my bicycle on Saturday, walking past all the yuppies in their SUVs are enormous. But they keep me pooping, cleaning out the digestive system. Didn’t have a lot of flavored coffee ☕ when I was in the office, but also was I running kind of late yesterday. Today, though I need to head in early on my bike as I have work to do first thing, but hopefully some of the supervisors will be back, so my day won’ t be quite so busy, assuming I finally finish up AD 1. The Hamptons are just tough to process. Listening to Pearl Before Swine’s Rocket Man. 🚀 While sunny and calm wind today, going to be fairly cold today. 🚴 But I’ll be riding in.
I still need to decide on the specs on my new truck cap, 🚚 as I really should order that on Saturday. It will be good to take Old Smokey out for a ride, I haven’t driven the big F-350 truck anywhere except home from the dealership and out to my parents on Sunday. Getting a good sprinkle of dirt – probably manure – from the country roads in spring, and hopefully not road salt. I do want to undercoat with lamolin once early autumn rolls around, 🍁 and if I get the flat truck cap, it’s possible I can go through the automatic wash, though ultimately time will eat away even if I do wash the corrosive salts off. ⌛ But I do want the truck if at all possible to last until my retirement in 2040, which is about 14 years away. But who knows if affordable gas will be even around then? I am trying to keep the miles off it as much as possible, plus I enjoy riding my bike and hate driving in city with all the cops with their penises hanging out of their windows, looking to hand out tickets. 👮 And get to Salvation Army, as my work clothes are wearing out. Yes, I’ll be taking my new SuperDuty to the Salvation Army on Central Avenue to shop work clothing. And probably go for a hike in Pine Bush 🌲 until around dark. I might stop at Wally World on way home, though I am also kind of avoiding that, 🚲 as I’d rather ride my 🚲 to buy groceries as it keeps my shopping list small as there is only so much I can haul on a bike. But also, no fires in woods until I get the camper shell, so I’m trying to minimize how much garbage I produce. 🔥
