It seems like I’ll stay home 🏡 most of today. I have a lot of projects going on for work and no Zoom Meetings. I think it will be too wet today for the morning walk 🚶🏻. That’s fine. I don’t have to go anywhere and it’s going to be quite wet at times although I’m not convinced all day will be a soaker with the radar.l

Today in 1859, Petroleum is discovered in Titusville, Pennsylvania leading to the world’s first commercially successful oil well. 🛢 To this day, that town still smells like petroleum, and it floats in the creeks, but they produce much less oil today then at the peak around the turn of the century.

It looks like Saturday will be a good day to stay home and read 📖 while Sunday might be a good day for hiking and fishing 🎣. I am not planning on heading out of town next weekend but after Labor Day Weekend I might take a trip somewhere. I was hoping that the Piseco Powley Bridge would be open by then but it doesn’t seem likely with the bridge re-opening being pushed back. So for all intents and purposes I don’t see myself camping until September although honestly that’s next Monday.

Facebook keeps showing me auto 🚘 ads as I thumbed through some of them. But I’m so tired of owning a truck and I just think I could save a lot of money not owning a car and using a bicycle 🚲 to get around town. But I still have a little over a year to decide – I do wonder about the costs of not being able to buy in bulk at Walmart, not being able to haul my own garbage to the transfer station or even taking laundry to the laundromat. Motoring is such a big chunk of change 💵 for something you have to throw away – your car – every ten years or so.

I figure this most likely will be the last weekend I’ll be able to get to the Mine Kill Pool before it closes for the year. 🏊🏻‍♂️

I was reading about independent front suspension in relation to the Corvair article I was reading and the clunk I occasionally hear a full lock 🚘 is likely a sign that the struts are wearing out on Big Red. I’m not surprised 😲 but it doesn’t look to be safety critical or likely to lead to a breakdown and I doubt I’ll replace them at this point.

It is fun to look at cars and bicycles 🚲 although I’m still seriously looking at bicycles and renting a car for trips in the coming years but I could change my mind. 💵 I cringe at how much my car insurance bill is during the winter months when I drive 20 miles a week to the parents house and grocery stores. Having a car means I can shop at Walmart and take my own garbage to the transfer station ♻, that is the stuff I don’t burn at camp. 🔥 I do like traveling a lot on weekends but I feel like the whole automobile industry is so scamy and polluting 🏭.

I got a $60 bill from my dentist 👨🏼‍⚕️after my most recent cleaning. It looks like it covers the past two visits with a $20 copay for each plus $20 for the x-ray. Totally reasonable but I’m annoyed because the sent me a bill a few weeks ago saying I owed nothing from the January cleaning. I don’t mind paying it but I will be annoyed if they end up sending me a $60 overpayment check in two weeks.

I was going to leave tonight but studying the radar ⚽ I decided it was going to be a pretty wet night camping 🏕 and it best wait until morning. 🌅 I have everything ready to go except the coolers buy I should be on the road by 7 pm. I didn’t really want to camp at Cherry Ridge 🍒 during the pandemic while it was crowded at any rate Plus I’m still thinking about heading out via NY 23 for a change. Kind of pokey that was but I haven’t driven much of that road in years and I kind of like seeing the deep rural 🐐 parts of the state. Something different then US 20 or my least favorite – NY 206 and NY 79. Vacation isn’t over tomorrow so I still have plenty of time to camp, especially as I plan to spend all of the week this year in the Finger Lakes.
