It was the third of June on a hot summer day… 🩴

With all apologizes to Bobby Jo Gentry and her song of nearly 60 years ago now. I still can’t believe how many wrinkles that farmer girl I knew from high school now has. All that time out in the sun turning dirt I guess.

It’s going to be a nice ride in today, 🚴 as today I don’t have any meetings to go to after work. Guilderland adopted the local law requiring properties being considered in Albany Pine Bush Study Area to get reviewed by the Albany Pine Bush Technical Commission 🔎🦋 which we spoke in favor of the meeting last night. So that was good, and I got home at a reasonable hour. If I wasn’t tired and hungry, 😋 I could have gone for a ride for a bit, I thought about getting some groceries as I’m low on a list of things, but I’ll just do that after work today.

Still no news on the truck cap. 🚛 I will call around 10:30 AM this week but I doubt I’ll get it installed before the weekend. ☔ Going to rain this weekend, so probably not the best weekend to do this.  Second solar panel and “y” connector is getting delivered on Saturday so I want to be here to take delivery. Friday, if it’s hot and nice, ☀️ I might drive in so I can run mid-day to Metal Warehouse to get some aluminum bar for mounting that second panel. I figure if I could also squeeze in some time after work in the hammock if it’s hot by the river at Henry Hudson Park, read until dark and then run into Wally World for supplies. Also need a second battery box, I will get that at Albany Walmart when I have the truck cap installed. Might also go up to Thacher Park on Nature Bus 🚏 this weekend, depends on when the panel is delivered and how wet things really are. Kind of looks like a dreary weekend.

Well, it’s time to shower, turn off that Ode to Billie Joe, 🎙️ and hop on the mountain bike 🚵‍♂️ and get to work before it gets too hot and it’s too late in the morning. 🌅 Important the big boss man gets to work on time, need to make that money, so I can save and invest it to buy hog feed, 🐷 land  🚜 and that heavy-guage metal for the homestead incinerator 🔥 some day in the future at the off-grid cabin. 🐐 Plus pay for the truck cap and other things I’ve already committed to for the next few years.
