November 13, 2019 Afternoon
A bitterly cold afternoon. Sunny and a bitterly cold 24 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 12. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 11 am. 🌡️
Got my truck scheduled for service next week. I decided to do an oil change, tire rotation when I get the state inspection. 🔧 I don’t really absolutely need an oil change yet, but this way I won’t have to do it mid-winter when it’s cold and nasty, and the tires are wearing down, and a rotation will prolong them. This way easier then making two trips in for service. I checked all the lights and they’re working good.
I turned off the Twitter feed from my blog, 🖥 as it was acting up and causing the blog to be slow and crash a lot. I don’t want shit from my web host, and I’m kind of tired of social media. So many nasty comments, and things keep getting presented in ways that I dislike.

America’s Loneliest Roads, Mapped
Apparently NY 812, Indian River Road up between the Tug Hill, St. Lawerence Flat Lands and Adirondack Hilltowns is New York's most lonely road. I've driven it before -- years ago -- but never spent much time up in that area, because I wasn't aware of what kind of camping opporunties exist in the Frank Jadwin State Forest and other nearby state lands. I should really get back up there. And yes, US 219 north of Thomas WV is beautiful, but I'd hardly call it lonely. PA 36 out of Punxsy, often very straight but hilly and remote coal country, would classify on my list of very lonely roads, although certainly not as flat as Western Penna.
