Good evening. Two work days down, vacation only three work days away. 😎 Still thinking about leaving town on Friday night. Not the coolest evening ever but reasonable with the mercury dropping to 78 degrees and a dew point around 68.🌉 A light breeze makes for a fairly pleasant summer evening. Sitting outside watching the sparkle lights our back.

Tonight will be fairly sticky with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain⚡. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 72. South wind 11 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Going into tomorrow the chance for heavy downpours increases with a high topping out around 78 degrees in the afternoon. ☔Bring your umbrella.

Sitting out back after my evening walk and heading over to John Wolcott’s house for his continued interview. 🎥 Continuing to think about vacation and what I need to pack. 💼 Mostly the usual camping gear, a week’s worth of clothing and maybe some food, although I will buy most of what I need up at camp. 🍔

Weather looks okay for next week although maybe not as much sun as I would hope for but better weather than last year☁. I might bring my heater and set it up in the tent if I have a cold and wet day to get warm and dried out without having to sit next to a smokey campfire🔥. I’m going to bring my boots as everything especially in the National Forest will be mucky as they’ve gotten a lot of rain this past week up there.👢

Hoping that I get a lot of use out of my hammock and the new one doesn’t break. 🏄 I might even camp in it in a few different parts of the wilderness for a few nights.

I am working on upgrading part of my blog so the normal templates are down, but I expect them to be working again tomorrow. 🔍I just forgot to update one of the files. It will be fixed early tomorrow. I’ve switched over to location based system using Facebook rather than Foursquare.

Once again I have a bit of a a stomach bug that seems to bother me from time to time. I wonder if it’s something that I’m eating from time to time or if I should visit the doctor. Not a big deal but I often feel a bit sick to the stomach in the evening. 💩 Well if I still feel like I’m having issues after vacation I’ll make a doctor’s appointment.

Probably on Thursday I will run to the laundromat and wash my clothes.👕👖 I also want to get a second propane hose to replace the cracked one I have. I was going to order it online to store but went I went to pay it was unavailable. Then just packing the normal camping gear, including tying the kayak on the roof of the truck. ⛺

It’s been a crazy few weeks at work. I look forward to getting away from it all for nine days in the wilderness, well at least away from Albany. 🙀 I really are looking forward to getting away.
