Today was just one of those days when you have to shrug😑 and say well they are paying me good money to do these things. Nothing bad happened today but it just was a challenging day in many ways. As I often tell myself if I didn’t have this job somebody else would be doing it. It’s ultimately paying the bills and allowing me to put away money towards a better future. Each day I learn a little more, save a bit more. Albany, NY is not my future, I’ll be happy when that day comes when it’s all in the rear view mirror never to be looked back again. 🚗
Rush hour traffic is pretty bad this evening. Just a whole lot of stop and go. 🚗🚘🚚🚛🚛🚌 Once I get home I’ll probably have dinner and head to the grocery store. I saw Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace has a film on water rights in California but I don’t know if I will go to see it. I got to move my truck🚗 before the snow comes down. β
Tonight will rain, mainly after 7pm. Low of 37 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees above normal. North wind 8 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Tomorrow will rain and snow. Patchy fog before 4pm. High of 39 degrees at 1pm. Typical for Tomorrow. Windy, with a north wind 16 to 26 mph, with gusts as high as 44 mph.

I have family things to do on Saturday but I’m hopeful on Sunday to get out cross country skiing, 🏂maybe at Thatcher Park. I don’t think I want to go too far this weekend. I guess my mind could change but I’m saving up for traveling season once again.
