Halfway or technically 3/5th the way through the work week. 🏢 Final session day of the week so it’s back to the express bus 🚍 tomorrow. Ag Tiktok keeps me entertained on the local, especially for the evening commute which always seems long but not flipping through videos involving dirt, diesel and cattle. It’s remarkable how fast time goes past when doing that.

Going to bed 🛏 shortly. I guess the State of the Union address is tonight but I haven’t listened to a political address in years and will listen 👂 to the Lex Fridman podcast in bed. Most political speeches aren’t really worthwhile to listen to with all their partisan talking points 📃, you can catch the important points in the morning news 📰. I’ll listen to NPR as I make breakfast 🥣 tomorrow to learn what was noteworthy in the address. Truth is that if it’s not reported, doesn’t really matter what the politician said at any rate.

Been doing a lot of reading 📖 and research on what it means to be your forties and peak 🗻 earnings years. 💵 Whatever that means, it sure doesn’t feel like much money during such inflationary times with taxes so high. You can do all the right things but it feels like the deck is stacked against you. I know have made a lot of progress but I am growing impatient as things take longer to compound then I would hope and I want to own my own land 🚜. And I’m getting older 👴🏻. But I’ll keep doing my best and those days will happen eventually.

Good morning! Happy Monday. Six more weeks until calendar spring 🗓. Probably best considered in relationship to a week before trout season. 🎣 Or as my dairy farming colleague from years ago told me he counted down the weeks until spring based on the loads of manure spread. 💩 Seems appropriate for a winter Monday where the ground is likely to be thawed out by afternoon.

Partly cloudy at the freezing point in Delmar for the morning walk. ⛅ Calm wind. The full 🌕 moon is pretty overhead. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Not a half bad morning for a walk. It’s February so the standards are pretty low. Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️

I accidentally made biscuits with pancake mix 🍪 which didn’t turn out that bad although I should have taken them out of the oven a bit sooner. 🥚 I thought about getting eggs yesterday when I got milk 🐮 at Stewart’s as their price wasn’t that bad relatively speaking but I always associate eggs with greasy camp breakfasts with sausage and lots of cheese and vegetables 🍳 and I’m trying to cut calories in my forties. I do like eggs when camping 🏕 and want a heavier breakfast before a busy day of chopping wood and hiking.

I have a few projects on my desk 📄 and an afternoon meeting so it should be a busy day though I don’t anticipate working late, though I’ll be taking the local 🚍 as it’s a session day. My goal 🥅 is to get my steps done 👣 which if I head over to the Capitol or run some errands and then do my evening work I should be good.

Certainly a bit cooler tonight 🌕 but it’s February and I’m not complaining as I’ve backed down my heat and it’s not so cold. The moonlight should be nice for the evening walk 🚶 and then I’ll retire to bed 🛏 fairly early. When I go to bed early even if I do wake up during the night I usually feel well rested the next day.

Typical average high for the weekend is 35 degrees. No real plans for the weekend 🐦 though Five Rivers is always a nice walk 🚶 and I like seeing the cows 🐮 on Meads Road. Maybe a good weekend to observe the birds.

Maybe a good week to head out of town.
