Morning folks, cool start to the week ☀

Almost feels like a autumn or early spring morning out there this morning with temperatures in the fifties and only expected to reach the upper fifties later on. 🌥 Some blue sky earlier but clouds pushing in. At least it’s not raining currently, none of those downpours we had on Sunday or Thursday and Friday last week. ☔

Back to work today, but first coffee ☕ and carrot pancakes. When shopping yesterday morning, got a big 5-lb bag of carrots 🥕 so I had to start pulverizing them and putting them to good use. They make good hardy pancakes with shredded oatmeal, whole-wheat flour, egg, baking powder and lots of cinnamon. Topped with mango and strawberries.

It was a great evening out at Bender Mellon Farm Preserve 🍉 yesterday, though the sky did open up for a few minutes when I was out there, 🌧️ but it was sheltered enough that I did not get soaked under the trees. 🌲I got RStudio installed on my work laptop so I’ll be ready now for whatever data jobs come over the weekend, as the work laptop 🖥 is always on me even when I don’t have my personal laptop. Speedometer on my bike is still drying out after getting soaked this past weekend.

This upcoming weekend I’m watching the weather, ⛈ as the forecast keeps changing, not as hot for the weekend but also stormy on Friday. I kind of want to roadside camp ⛺ to have a big fire and not haul all the gear back into the woods, but on the other hand if Friday is shit, I might just camp in the back country Saturday night in Northern Schoharie County, ride some roads or trails around, and go to the Gas Up on Sunday to spend more time there. 🚜 I’m also considering going to Burnt-Rossman if the weather looks good on Friday night, or maybe Prospect Mountain Road in Vermont, especially the later if it seems like I’ll be working remote during part of the weekend, as I got good reception there.
