It was a nice weekend even if things didn’t totally go to plan. 🏖 Glimmerglass was nice, I had always wanted to check that out in the summer. The beach was pretty good, a rather large beach I have to say which made it not feel crowded despite being quite popular – social distancing was quite easy to follow. 👥 Otsego Lake is quite pretty this time of year compared to the autumn when it is quite gray.

I have that Zoom meeting tomorrow 📹 so I’ll have to shave and get cleaned up and go down to the library to do the meeting. It’s going to be absurdly hot but I guess I could work down at the park under a tree if it’s too uncomfortable. After the Zoom meeting I can come home I guess and work by the fan. ☢️

After listening to the Off Farm Income Podcast 🎧 the other day and driving through rural Schoharie County I’m increasingly thinking 💭 I need to set harder goals towards owning my own land and moving out to the country. 🚜 Affordable small towns in a low tax state – where I can buy land a lot of land cheap with saved up cash should be my priority. 🏡 If the property is off grid and I don’t need many services then I can work a lower paid job and still live a good life out in the country with all the freedoms of small town living. 🐐 Maybe 2030 is too soon 🔜 but I think 2035 is a very realistic option.

It was going to have eggs 🥚 🍳 this morning but I forgot to get pan spray or bring oil so I think instead I’ll have cereal 🥣 and toast. Much quicker clean up and take down that way. I’m hoping to have camp taken down by nine 9⃣ o’clock.

The plan today is to head out to Schoharie County to swim 🏊🏻‍♂️ and maybe some short hikes at Mine Kill State Park but nothing too dramatic as it’s going to be a balmy late summer afternoon. Pool opens at 10 am and closes at 6 pm but I’m okay with the earlier closing as it gets dark fairly early this time of year and it takes time to set up camp ⛺ and make dinner.

First thought I got to review the document 📂I’m working on for work and send that along. I got it last night and reviewed on my phone but if rather give it a fresh look on the laptop🔎 in the morning. 🌅 I want to run to the store return some beer cans 🍺and maybe get some hot dogs for dinner. 🌭 Looking forward to all the goodies I can get at the farm stands in Schoharie. 🌽🥦🌶️ Should be a great day but hot. ☀
