Not a half bad evening 🌃, went for my evening walk 🚶🏻 and it wasn’t bad despite the mist and fog. 🌫 Worked fairly late in the office 🏢 but I was home early enough for my walk. I really don’t mind working downtown although for a few seconds I thought I might have missed the 7:30 pm bus 🚍 home but it worked out fine.

So oddly quiet downtown at 7:30 catching the bus home. 🚏 Albany has long been a a 9-5 city but with the bars still all shut and the hotels shuttered 🏩 everything is so dead downtown but I guess the same can be said mid day too. There is a lot of talk about reopening state offices soon 🏢 but I just don’t see it happening with the pandemic ramping back up. I’m sure you saw that article I shared earlier about Coronavirus being widespread in Connecticut and New Jersey now – its getting bad in parts of Southern Tier New York again too.

I am starting to think 🤔 I took the wrong weekend to go to Central New York but I don’t know. It was a good weekend to go out and enjoy the colors while they are still left 🍂, they are rapidly fading now as we head closer to November. I don’t have any plans now until mid November and with more days being back in the office 🏢 and less remote work 💻, it gets harder to take long weekends – plus I’m running low on vacation time. ⏳

I am back home 🏡 as it’s going to rain tomorrow in Central NY and quite honestly I don’t want to drive home at 5 or 6 pm tomorrow in the dark especially in rain. Plus working all day under a tarp or in the truck doesn’t seem like much fun.

To be sure, it was a beautiful weekend 🍂 even if clouds pushed in early on Sunday. No rain ☔ but it was cold on Cherry Ridge 🍒 Camping Area 🏕 and I didn’t have the whole area so I couldn’t listen to Jason Aldean as loud as I wanted 🎶 while getting drunk 🍻 next to roaring fire 🔥. But the fire was big enough for a while that I was plenty to warm next to it.

I am cleaning out the cooler now ❇️ and I’ll get things ready to put back in the crawl space by morning. Then things will be packed up.

I am a bit undecided about today. 🐸 I am thinking about going down to Sherburne later and maybe staying up here one more night, leaving early Monday morning and heading home before the rain ☔ and work 💻. I guess it depends on how cloudy ⛅ and cool it becomes today. I might first go for a walk in the state forest. It really depends on how cold and cloudy is later. 🛏 Plus I don’t want to be shit tired 💩 come Monday at work as there is much to do. Sherburne and the Rogers Environmental Education Center is always nice.

I am a bit concerned it might be a very cold night ❄ with the wind if I stay one more night. Plus then it’s going to be a long trip back if a leave at quarter to seven in the morning – before sunrise 🌅. I might be a lot better off to stay until four pm this afternoon and drive home in daylight, maximize what I can before it gets dark out. That way I’ll get a good night’s sleep and be prepared for tomorrow.
