Good morning! Happy Average is High 70 🎑 ! Won’t be that hot today but it’s a true sign that autumn is coming on Tuesday. Next Sunday has More Night then Day 🀼/strong>󓀮 Partly cloudy and 41 degrees at the Black Creek Marsh WMA. ⛅ Calm wind.The skies will clear around 8 am.

Out hiking and bird watching 🐦 after the first frost of the year here. Cool but nice. Still not a lot of leaves in color and while I saw a doe 🦌 and some Blue Jays, a big fat Catbird and accidentally flushed out a grouse 🕊 I am hearing more birds than actually seeing them.

Had a quick cup of coffee ☕ and made some pancakes 🥞 before rushing out here for the first break of daylight. I hope I remembered to turn off the kitchen stove but if not the stove is on low and its a cast iron pan 🍳 so I’m not worried. 😯 It’s mostly just a waste of electricity and maybe a need to regrease the pan after washing.

In the afternoon I’ll probably hike at Partridge Run 🚶🏻 although I’m still considering my options. 💭 I am heading out to the folks house for Sunday dinner later on. Going to cool but still a nice day. Might want to get out there early so I don’t have to drive home when it’s pitch black out. With the rut underway, 🍆I find myself constantly scanning left then right, to avoid possibly hitting a deer 🦌.

My socks 🧦 were absolutely gross again when I took them off last night. I don’t know if it’s the boots 👢 or just my sweaty feet with the corn meal 🌽 based foot powder 👣 that replaced the talcum powder which isn’t sold anymore due to asbestos contamination. But they are soaking against in the laundry soap so I’m hoping the muck will come out. I will agitate them a bit and rinse them before pulling out of the bucket and putting in the wash – they just aren’t coming out real clean.

Still need to get the new battery 🔋 in my laptop. It should really improve the rate of battery life but unfortunately on this laptop it’s not a plug 🔌 and play battery, you have to physically disassemble things with care to replace the battery.

I am thinking about getting up fairly early and doing some bird watching 🐦 at Black Creek Marsh Wildlife Management Area in the morning. 🌅 I haven’t been there since spring and it’s nice. I was going to do that this morning and then last night but I didn’t get an early start.

Still dealing with really gross socks 🧦. I’m hopeful this time with soaking them they’ll get nice and clean. I will rinse them out come morning.

Got my new mask from Lynne Jackson. 😷 I will still wear the bandana when I’m out and about but when I’m working downtown it’s better to have something cooler and more comfortable.

15 weeks left in 2020. 🎇 Going to be a crazy remainder of the year 🤪 with the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ⚖. It should be an interesting battle over her successor. But whatever is going to happen will happen although I think they really should wait for the next president to appoint the judge – whether it be the Trumpster or Biden His Time. 🏛️

One thing about her death 🦆is it got me reading 📖 about the Chesapeake and Baltimore Canal. 🚲 I think I want to check that out the next time I go down to West Virginia, especially if I have a bicycle to ride by then. 🛥️ William O. Douglas did a lot to preserve the canal and the area around Cumberland Maryland is quite beautiful. 🏞

I am not sure about my plans for Sunday but I think I will go hiking 🚶 somewhere in town. The following week I will want to go to the Adirondacks to camp, assuming the weather is still good. I do need get my hunting license which I keep forgetting to order.

My sideburns are really starting to grow in nicely. 🧔🏽 It certainly cuts down on the amount I have to shave. I like the sideburns look but it was hot.

Sitting out back for a while watching the rain come in 💦 just enjoying a mild late September evening. 🌃 It was a fun day heading downtown on the bus 🚍 for a long but kind of fun socially distant meeting in a big conference room with masks on. 💼 Then I went to John Wolcott house for a couple hours and looked through a bunch of Fort Orange history and old records about Mayor Yates House, now the DASNY building. 📜

It was a long day with the banada over my face, kind of hot but so he it. 😷 I am actually thinking of buying a real mask, because the bandana on the face gets tiresome when you’re downtown a good portion of the day. I wonder what Tractor Supply has for fashionable reusable masks. I bet a Carhartt mask would be fun. Then I can get a boring black mask for fancy meetings so I can look like Biden This Time. 👴🏻

It was fun to take the bus downtown. 🚏You know I miss the time on the bus, 🚌 the quiet time to myself listening to a podcast or my earphones 🎧, looking out the window. Everybody wore their Coronavirus muzzle, as my IIIer hog farming friends like to say. 😷 I think the dangers of transit are exaggerated 👾 although I did wash my hands good when I got to the office 🏢 and when I got home 👐🏻. Then again . I had to giggle 🤭 at the signs defaced with BLM painted on them and the graffiti removal crew nowhere to be scene. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 Cities are wonderful for the disorder and grime they represent. 😀 The world isn’t perfect 👌🏻.

I went for my evening walk 🚶🏻 and it was pleasant maybe because I was so charged up about being able to ride the bus and work downtown again. 🏙 I legitimately do miss the old days when things were normal and you got on the bus every day and worked in that big office building in the city. It was just so nice for at least a while having a semblance of the old life peering out from under the Coronavirus muzzle. 😷

I was told today that my hair is rapidly getting gray. 🧓🏻I guess I’m getting old but I think some of it has to do with my hair cut short ✂ and the fact I’m growing sideburns. I’ve been noticing that a lot more in the mirror too. But already the sideburns are filling in nicely and it’s a bunch less shaving before I shower 🚿 although I do that less now as I’m not working downtown and nobody knows if you’ve put on deodorant on over Zoom Meetings.
