Daily Update – August 14, 2022

Good morning! Happy Sunday. πŸ˜€

Sunny and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. The dew point is 53 degrees. Should be a nice day.

Yesterday, I took the Nature Bus 🚌 to Thacher Park, hiked around 15 miles including starting at the Overlook Parking, then Hop Field, the Hop Field Wetland Trail, then up to Beaver Road, hiked out to Thompsons Lake Hamlet, then down to the boat launch, campground, nature trail. 🏞 From there I took the Salisbury Trail to Perimeter Trail to Fred Schroeder Memorial and then down to High Point, then along the mountain bike trail to Hang Gliders Cliff and then out to Horseshoe Clove. It was a pretty good hike, catching the 6:20 PM bus home, some eight hours later, with a little bit of hammock time.

Today, I am not planning on a real ambitious day, πŸ‘£ after walking 40,000 steps or about 20 miles yesterday. I probably should do a morning walk today, but I am not ready to get going yet, plus I have an idea for a project I’m working on for the blog — namely 360 photos that I’ve discovered how to with my smartphone. πŸ“Έ New record on the steps.

I should probably do an early morning walk — I was up a little after 6 AM but I am enjoying my coffee. β˜• I should do a little more cleaning and putting away after summer vacation, especially if I am thinking about heading up to the Adirondacks next weekend, maybe the Potholers one last time this summer. With work, I don’t think I can be so far off grid in future weekends.

I will need to get milk πŸ₯› tomorrow as that plastic jug is about to hit the wastebasket. I do wish I could get milk in deposit glass. I don’t make a lot of trash πŸ—‘ and they burn fine but it seems like such a waste. I drink less milk these days though to try to cut back a bit on the calories. Ice water πŸ’¦ is a lot more healthy.

I should think about voting, πŸ—³ as the early vote center down the road is now open for the Congressional primary race, but I can do that one night after work I figure. πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ Plus, on election day, primaries all-day long in New York under some of the reforms the legislature did a few years back to make voting easier.

This afternoon I’m heading out to the folks house for Sunday dinner πŸ” and then will probably hike Bennett Hill. It’s been a few weeks since I lost caught up with them. 🚢 It’s always a nice hike and should be good and clear. The elevation gain gets the blood pumping and at let’s me get some of my steps in for the day. Truth be told I should have done my morning walk but maybe I can do some in the evening. πŸŒƒ
