I ended up deciding to take off Monday and Friday next week, for two long weekends. 🏊
This weekend, I will do two nights — Saturday and Sunday out in Schoharie County and spend a lot of time at the Mine Kill Pool and do some fishing in the reservoir.
Next weekend, leaving Thursday night after work, I am going to go up to Piseco-Powley Road and the potholers to beat the heat. I was going to to do Thursday and Friday, but decided against that on grounds that I’d rather get away for two nice weekends and because one of the other directors is off on Thursday.
Summer is running out quickly I am afraid …
Summer Vacation Seems So Distant Now
So many days spent laying back in the hammock listening to cows chomp down on the grass.

Been chewing over whether I should go paperless for pay stubs 📄
Been chewing over whether I should go paperless for pay stubs 📄
I got my paper pay stub in the mail today. It seems like senseless trash, trees chopped down and mixed with chemicals, looked at briefly, tossed in the garbage and ultimately burnt up. Seems like money wasted by the state, even though they don’t currently charge me for the paper pay stubs.
But I sure like the dopamine hit each time the pay stub comes in and I can see how much I’ve earned so far for the year and how much has gone towards deferred compensation. After a rough, stressful day at work, it’s nice to come home and see that little surprise in the mail as I envision my future and a better tomorrow.
Plus, sometimes you need a paper pay stub to prove residency or for other purposes. Printed bills not on official purposes don’t count. So maybe I shouldn’t go paperless when I’m not currently charged for paper. But also it would be good to have online access to pay stubs to compare and look back at where I was a few years back on my earnings.
Remembering Richard Trumka, a giant in the world of labor and unions | PBS NewsHour
Maybe I am young, but it seems like Richard Trumka was around forever, but he died so young at 72 years of age. He was a true fighter for the working man and women.
