Back to Monday π¨π»βπΌ
Monday has come back around again on the guitar as they say, one more day closer to spring time.
One the whole it wasn’t a bad weekend, 
though Sunday was cold and blustery and that heavy rain and wind was no fund on Saturday night. I did enjoy that ride out to Hollyhock and Blodgett Hill on Saturday, 
it was a blast riding down there despite my brakes getting so hot that the front one started to smoke. Still not sure if you’re supposed to ride the logging roads at an WMA but there was no sign posted against it on well the blue trail that I took the bike up. Wasn’t tearing things up much with the bike, it’s not like an ATV, so fuck you greenies.
Whatever was on it though burned off the rotator and it’s stopping better. 
I need now to replace the rear pad, as that one is very worn and not working well. I have the extra pad at home, but I’ve hesitated to replace it until it’s fully worn out. The replacement cassette is coming this week, but I am keep the old one on for now, 
I might hold off replacing it as the old one is working pretty reliably now with the new chain after it kind of either stretched the chain or wore the grooves down on cassette.
Sunday it was out to Five Rivers once it warmed up a bit 
the solitude was nice but it was bitterly cold even by mid-day with the wind, though the warm late March sun helped a lot. Then out to see the folks for a while, 
and then hiked up Bennett Hill to end the day. My wash wasn’t fully dry when Ieft so I hung it up 
and had other clean jeans and shirts that were fully dry to wear today to work. Then I went to bed after uploading some photos and an essay to the blog.
This morning I wish I had ridden to work 
but I was sure that I would get soaked on the way in. But then it turned out to just cloudy this morning though shortly after getting in the office it turned to sleet and rain though it’s not supposed to last all day. Tomorrow I’ll ride in. 
Can’t walk laps after tonight as I need to get to grocery store. And also empty out the recycling bin 
in side. Did the compost last night.π«

Camping, Not Yet
Walking in the Albany Pine Bush this afternoon, I was thinking how much I miss spending nights in the wilderness.Β Those open canopies, like Moose River Plains or even Confusion Flats in the Western Adirondacks are special. While I have a trip planned for 2 1/2 weeks from now, itβs seems like that could be an eternity. I guess I could out somewhere sooner, although the issue would be that there is still a lot of snow up north and the next few weekends I expect to be fairly busy. But itβs obvious that nicer weather is heading our way, and I fully expect to spend more nights in the near future out in the wilderness.
