Good Morning! Happy Hump Day. It comes around on the calender, as we get one more day closer to the weekend. This weekend’s forecast looks pretty north, so I am thinking of heading out of town. Still don’t have my truck back, but let’s be honest, it’s mid-July and the summer is rapidly becoming eligible for listing on the Endangered Species list. A few rainy weekends, and we could be without much of a summer remaining. Especially in the Adirondacks, summer tends to not be long lasting.

Summer plans are pretty much on hold for now, while I wait for my truck to get back. Work is pretty darn busy, so I really haven’t had much time off lately. I guess I will just save the time up for November and hunting season. In the mean-time, I am sort of planning at least one trip to Pennsylvania, and couple of long weekends up to the Adirondacks – maybe one trip to North Lake, one to Western Adirondacks/Tug Hill, and Moose Plains.

I guess I could also go up to the St Regis Canoe-area or Rainbow Lake/Lake Kushauqa, but I really don’t like the crows up there, even if there is some nice kayaking along Fish Creek-area. Maybe a trip up to Lester Flow and the Vanderwhacker-area, would be another nice regular weekend trip.

It seems like the heat has broken. Yesterday, wasn’t that hot, but it also helped that I remembered to close the window shades before leaving the morning. Went down to the park for a bit of reading. The thunderstorms and rain held off, although by 8:35 that sky was getting black with clouds, so I hurried home. By 9:30 PM, it completely poured, but by then I was curled up next to a book at home.
