Rainy start to the weekend 🌧️

I kind of wanted a quiet day off, after a busy work week. I was pretty tired after my evening adventures and getting up early, and don’t mind a day home reading and hanging out.

Hoping this will be the last weekend without the truck cap, 🚛 and then I can start moving things over and wiring things up next weekend. Next weekend too there is Nature Bus up to Thacher Park if I’m so inclined. The following weekend is the Gas Up 🚜 in Gallupville. Then Juneteenth Weekend. Potholers, floating on East Canada Creek. ⭕ I didn’t expect much rain today, but right now it’s pouring.

I was considering either driving or riding down to Henry Hudson Park and then going shopping in evening 📚 doing some laying back in the hammock. Still don’t fully trust my bike chain though it’s been pretty reliable since I properly installed the quick link. I do want to tighten the rear brake disc 💿 which seems to be claddering a bit, and maybe tighten up or true up the rear wheel, I noticed a somewhat loose spoke but not broken. Shit I probably should have taken care of yesterday but didn’t. 🛠️

I think though with the weather, 🌥️ I’ll probably hang out at home, maybe read for a bit and later on go out to Five Rivers 🐸 for a while. I could use some groceries and supplies, just a few things, honestly, it’s probably better just to use my bike and go to Hannaford. Also usually do Pine Hollow Arboretum 🪷 on Saturday, so maybe I should add that to my list. I could stop at Price Chopper but the wokeness and especially the prices at the store make me cringe. Tomorrow morning looks good but the day slides downhill from there. Not sure where I am going to go tomorrow, maybe just a hike up Bennett Hill or somewhere similiar. I thought about Cole Hill – indeed if the weather had been warmer I might have hammock camped up there 🥾 – but I don’t know if I feel like driving out there tomorrow.

I should order the relay box I want to use for wiring up my truck today. 📦 and maybe decide on a dash cam for my new rig to document my travels. My old dash cam still works but it got dirt or mold on the internal lens and isn’t recording clearly my adventures. I want to be able to have a video recording and be able to hare the parts of my trips I find most memorable on YouTube and on my blog. 📽️ I haven’t done much on YouTube lately, but I’ve also not been traveling much since I retired Big Red. 🛻
