Sunday Arboretum Day I Guess 🌸
I am thinking I’ll head over to Pine Hollow after I shower for a little bit then maybe a quick hike up Bennett Hill before going out to see the folks. Tuesday I get the truck cap and Friday I’ll wire it up.
The cooler weather is a relief after the hot week the second half of the week. ☀️ I didn’t mind the commute much last week but it was certainly hot when I got home. Tomorrow I’ll drive in today so mid-day I can go to Metal Supermarket and get the aluminimum bar that I need to mount the solar panel, screws for mounting components in the truck bed, wash the truck, get groceries and maybe spend some time down at Henry Hudson Park in the hammock though tomorrow might be too cool for that plus I want to get home early, to bed early so I can get up early, get to the bank and have truck dropped off for the cap installation. Then Friday, Juneteenth, wire as much as I can up, and then either Saturday or Sunday go to the Gas Up possibly with Dad if he feels up to it. 🚜
First half of the day looks real nice, ☺️ though things are expected to slide downhill as evening thunderstorms ⛈️ approach. So best to enjoy the morning. Monday and Tuesday I won’t be able to ride in being that I need those supplies on Monday and Tuesday I’ll be dropping of my truck, though I’ll ride from Ruth’s to Karner Bus Stop and from downtown to the office. 🏢 Wednesday and Thursday I may ride in 🚴 though if the weather is dicey, the bus and shuttle 🚀, not driven by Elon Musk, is an alternative. As much as I look forward to get the cap, I look forward to wiring everything up, though I haven’t figured out everything though most things I already know what I’m going to do. 🔌
The ride out to Bozen Kill Preserve was nice. 🍏 Some kind of big event at Indian Ladder Farms yesterday, so I did not stop on the way home, but it was good they’ve repaved NY 156, so the shoulder isn’t particularly broken. The bike rode reliably 🚲 which had me a bit worried when I was 15 miles out, not because I’ve had a lot of problems lately, but shit does happen. 🚵♂️ I’ll have to get back there at some point soon. Lots of things to do with the new trails and overlooks that didn’t exist until a year ago when the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy obtained additional acreage in recent years.
