It was a nice Thanksgiving 🦃 with the family. Small little thing but it was nice to spend some time with them before the lock down. 🔒 The COVID numbers are looking bad all around but hopefully when the vaccine starts flowing in a couple of weeks the tied will be stemmed. Social distancing may help but it’s really hard to avoid all human contact even when working from home. Got home and did my evening walk 🚶🏻 and sat out back for a while.

Heading up to the Adirondacks tomorrow through Sunday. ⛺ Not totally sure yet where but I have a short list. I want to leave by around ten tomorrow and stop to buy some hot coca. ☕ Tomorrow doesn’t seem like a really nice sunny day so I’ll probably not rush up north. If I do any hiking up a mountain it will be on Sunday I think on my way home.
