Cloudy, mild, gray January Saturday before the rain ☁️

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunnier, Mom and Dad are going to pick me up tomorrow for a visit. But today I’ll probably ride down to Hannaford to pick up a few things for the pantry, and I don’t know maybe visit a preserve on the way. Never been down to Norman’s Kill West in winter, maybe that’s an option.

I was originally thinking about biking to Walmart 🚲 but I don’t think I really need anything in particular there. I also was considering biking down to the Coeymans WMA but maybe not. Honestly, it depends how icky it ultimately turns out today. β˜€οΈ The sun and mild temperatures will be tomorrow, which would be nice be able to get out but I’ll be visiting with family then and I can do my wash πŸ‘– and put off having to go to the laundromat on the bus before work.

Other then that it’s just another winter weekend. β˜ƒοΈ I’m hoping the warm weather and rain tonight will do a number on the snow 🏞️ and then the bike path will be good for riding in much of the week that looks to be fairly mild. β˜€οΈ While it’s still a few more weeks of busing it home in the evening after work, it’s not as dark as it once was riding back downtown and catching the local downtown. And then by mid-February there will be enough light to ride both ways.

Going to do some reading today, πŸ“š and that’s about it for the list of things to do. Just a quiet weekend, nothing too big to do or think about. Continue investigating trucks, learning the ins and outs of the industry. Think more about my options. People say I’ve fallen in love with the Ford SuperDuty trucks, but I don’t know I haven’t reached a conclusion and I’m still more then a month before the first test drive, and two months out before I want to seriously be studying my dealership quotes and options πŸ”Ž and figure out which one I want to actually buy. Or maybe I still have Big Red’s registration live, so that’s an option too. Honestly, it’s more fun to studying and learning then taking title of a vehicle, so I”m in no rush for those days to come.

2026 Ford F250 XL 6.8 Gasser With The Off Road Package Review

This is kind of the SuperDuty truck I'm looking at... I think I do want the skid plates and FX4 off road package, still undecided about regular cab long bed vs extended cab short-bed, if I'm okay with the fleet white or if I want to pay for a different paint/appearance package. Depends on what is avaliable I guess, still have a lot more research to do.
