Good morning on this Monday morning. Talk about an exceptionally nice summer day. Warm, blue skies prevail on this summer morning without the drop of humidity. It really is a shame to be going into work on such a beautiful day.

Still can’t believe I got a 35×12.5 spare tire mounted under my truck. It is riding fine with plenty of space around the exhaust system and the differential. The only thing I can think of is they mounted the replacement hitch farther back when they did the body work last summer. At any rate, it’s pretty sweet. It will be better balanced for off-roading and not take up space in the bed.

Finally looking forward to some dirt roads in the Adirondacks. If the forecast improves for the weekend I hope to get up there. Probably go to Piseco Powley Road although I could go out to Schoharie County or White House as an alternative.

If not the following week is Independence Day Weekend. This year I will probably go to Moose River Plains rather than the Independence River Wild Forest as in previous years.

Camped out last night at my parents house. Nice night but the weather was sticky until late. The morning was quite nice though. Buggy out though. I guess that’s to be expected in the summer.
