Happy Monday.

Good Morning! Happy Monday. The work week comes back around. Not that I had much of a weekend, because it seems like I spent most of the weekend working on and off. So it goes. Wednesday at least is a pay day. Despite the cool weather they are getting in the mid-west, we are going to have hot, humid, and stormy weather in Albany over the next couple of days. I guess it’s good that I will be working late the next few days.

No news on my truck, although I drove past the body shop, and it’s still apparent that it hasn’t been in the shop yet. Mom reported the other day, they had the hood open though. I don’t think it looks good for getting out of town this weekend with the truck.

Kind of sucks, because I was hoping by now I could order the lift kit for my truck and get it installed in early August. I guess because I’m not driving it, the tires will hold up for a lot longer. I want my truck back so I can go on some longer adventures, and bring my kayak. With the loaner truck, with it’s short bed, it’s hard to stick the kayak in the bed, and go any distance. Plus I miss having the cap for camping and the electricity. Summer vacation is kind of on hold in the mean-time.

Spent Friday and Saturday fishing off the dock at Henry Hudson Park in Cedar Hill on the Hudson River. Nice evenings, but didn’t catch a lot. I was hoping with my new bass lures, I would catch something. To be fair, with just a worm and spooner, I caught two little pumpkin fish, but they really weren’t worth doing anything with besides carefully taking off the hook.

Maybe this weekend I will be able to get out of town if the weather is nice. More tent camping, but it is what it is. You do what you can, with what you have. At some point, I’ll get my truck back. I’m sure the insurance is getting tired of paying for my loaner truck, just as much as I’m getting tired of driving it.
