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. ☀

The plan is to go to Schoharie County and go swimming 🏊🏻‍♂️ tomorrow with maybe some fishing in the evening 🎣 and then camp overnight. I’m planning on a fairly quiet low key weekend. 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.

Got to bed early 🛏 and I woke up quite early too. But that’s good it ensures that I can go for my morning walk 🚶🏻 before what appears to be a very busy day today at work. I didn’t even realize last night was the DNC speeches this morning as I was too busy reading that book on pig farming. 🐽 Understanding feed rations for hogs is probably far more important than whatever bull 🐂 Biden his Time or the Trumpster is rambling about.

I was annoyed that I am out of milk 🐮 again but I had enough for my coffee ☕ which was a little blacker than normal. 🖤I don’t do creamer or sugar or salt in my coffee but I do like milk on my coffee. I usually prefer my coffee cold this time of year – after sitting on the stove for a few days. I’m sure the mold growth adds flavor and is important for fighting off the Corona’s virus. 👾

Starting out as another autumn like morning but more heat will push in today 😰 and especially tomorrow. But fortunately tomorrow I’m planning to head out to Schoharie and spend some time at the Mine Kill Pool 🏊🏻‍♂️ before it’s done for the summer. The morning walk 🚶🏻 should be nice today.

I realize with two Zoom meetings 📹 today I’m going to have to shower 🚿 and shave and put on my politician’s suit 👔well at least my dress shirt and blazer. Otherwise with remote work nobody knows on the internet if you are dog 🐶.

On this day in 1959, United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs an executive order proclaiming Hawaii the 50th state of the union. I guess that makes Barack Obama a US Citizen. 🧓🏾Doesn’t matter neither President Trump or his fan club Q Annon would believe that as they think the former president is a child sex trafficker like their former buddy Jerry Espstein.

See, there is the evidence that I follow the news 📰 carefully, which isn’t quite true ever since my radio 📻 started giving me problems. Heck, I didn’t even realize that last night was Joe Biden’s speech 💬 at the DNC. I do remember listening 👂 to Barack Obama’s 2008 DNC speech up in that holler camping at Burnt Rossman ⛺ listening to 1010 Wins as that was the only channel I could get besides that very werid Christian Raddio station. I’ve listened to that station a bit and I can tell you I think 🤔 you’d have to spent too much time breathing in burnt plastic or smelling the chemicals in the sprayer tank 🚜 to get into it. But I respect folks belief and I totally get why folks want to live in the mountains ⛰ with their guns 🔫. Me too!

Yes, it looks like Sunday is going to be a hot one. 😰 But I figure it’s best to enjoy it as September is just around the corner 🍂and autumn is just over a month away – September 22nd. 🎃 All those moldy carved pumpkins for Halloween sitting on door steps just waiting to be tossed in the garbage, crush and preserved forever next to the crushed television 📺 set in the local mound. 🗑 I think when I own land I’d rather compost, feed them to chickens 🐔 or pigs 🐷 especially because I doubt moldy pumpkins would burn well in the burn barrel. 🔥

I am still hoping to get up to Piseco Powley Road ⛺ come mid September should Stratford get its bridge rebuilt by then. 🚧I heard they’re making progress but I’m taking a wait and see approach to hear when it will be open again. I want to cool off one more time at the Potholers before it gets super cold out and the road is closed for the winter.
