September 1, 2019 Night

Good evening! Cloudy and 60 degrees at the Perkins Clearing. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 53 degrees. A few sprinkles here and there but no heavy rain yet. Kind of a dark and breezy nih in the woods. 💨The skies will clear Tuesday around 8 am.

A very brief rain shower ☔ made me take down the hammock and grab the rain coat but as quick as it came it stopped. I sat by the fire 🔥 for a while but decided to hang up my hammock after I leaned over and my chair snapped. I’m not surprised 😲, I knew it was about to break. I usually only get about a year out of those camp chairs unfortunately. I’ll leave the old one at Walmart for landfill disposal and pick up a new one the next time I’m there.

The wind 🍃 caught one of the candles on the ground on fire 🔥 and proceeded to start a minor grass fire. 🌾 I was able to stomp it out but I had no idea how combustible the grass was up here.

I fully expect in a few hours maybe less it will start to pour. 💦 But I have everything put away that shouldn’t get wet or would otherwise require drying when I got home. It may very well be a quite wet night but it’s been a good long weekend up north and this campsite is well drained so I expect no flooding here at camp. Probably leave fairly early tomorrow and drive home in the rain and get unpacked. 🏡 Not a big deal. Probably next weekend I’ll stay in town. The following week I’m heading down to New York for work so it will be nice to have a weekend just at home.

Today was kind of a lazy day. I reolacd the other burner in the camp stove and reglued the knob that had come loose and it seems like both burners are working good in the stove. ♨ With colder weather ahead I plan to be doing more cooking. I did go for a brief walk but I didn’t hear much squirrel activity I think due to the unstable weather. So it was spaghetti 🍝 and meatballs for dinner. At least it seems like both burners are working well on the camp stove. The bulk of the day was spent reading 📖 a book in my hammock about the mission creep of the defense department. As defense increasingly becomes the only department that politicians want to fund, its mission keeps expanding. 💣

This upcoming week I want to hook up the low voltage disconnect reset button again 🔘in case I ever need to reset the power while camping on these longer nights. Doesn’t happen raglan anymore but I hate to be plunged into darkness without an easy way to restore power to the truck cap.

In four weeks on September 29 the sun will be setting at 6:41 pm,🌄 which is 50 minutes and 47 seconds earlier then tonight.

Laying back in the hammock, looking at the clouds. I’m still chewing over going for a hike at Watch Hill. 🚶 It’s a nice hike but it’s a bit of a trip. north from here. I kind of just want to hang out at camp and read today and maybe have a fire 🔥 before the rain comes tonight. I don’t want to go out hiking and get caught in a shower 🚿 although that doesn’t seem likely until late here in the Adirondacks. It’s not a super long hike, so I could decide after lunch.

On this day in 1985, a joint American–French expedition locates the wreckage of the Titanic. 🚢 Don’t cry for me Argentina, the truth is that I never left you. 🎶 Okay, wrong sound track.

August 31, 2019 Night

Good evening! Mostly clear and 53 degrees at the Perkins Clearing. Starry night 🌃, beautiful looking up at the starry skies but no northern lights.😍 Calm wind. The dew point is 48 degrees. Cool but in my hoodie not too bad. I brought the propane heater ♨ for the cold mornings but so far I haven’t used it. Maybe tomorrow though it will be nice with a hot cup of coffee. ☕

I thought today was a good day. 🚶 It was nice hiking Pillsbury Mountain, it’s been eight years since I last done it. I was up there for an hour with nobody else around. First time ever going back to Cedar Lake in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness, it’s an area that I want to explore more. 🐸 The trails back there are pretty good and not real steep. I really should spend more nights back in the wilderness but I do like the ease of truck cap camping. I was happy 😊 that I didn’t run into many crowds back there although there was a couple 👫 camping ⛺ back at Cedar Lake but I headed to a different part of the lake for solitude.

I might just hang out at camp tomorrow ⛺ with a good book 📙 in the hammock or I could go hiking again. 🚶 Small game season opens tomorrow for squirrel,🐀 but we will see. I could drive over to Mason Lake and do some fishing 🎣 or maybe up to Watch Hill and hike it 🚶. Probably though will stay in camp, maybe see if I could drop some tree rats but I’ll see.

Tomorrow night is going to be quite wet based on the current model 💦but hopefully the rain will hold off until late. I’d like to enjoy a nice Sunday and then just overnight in the truck cap and head home early on Labor Day. This campsite is well drained so I’m not worried about mud by there also is no practical way to hang up tarps here.

August 31, 2019 Afternoon

I decided to hike Pillsbury Mountain It’s a fairly decent afternoon but cool even by late August standards in the mountains. Partly sunny and 57 degrees on Pillsbury Mountain. There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 43 degrees.

It’s actually a bit cool on the firetower but warm enough sitting out in the sun ☀ . The firetower continues to be in rough shape as is Old Military Road 🚙 but it is passable and the tower open. 🗼 Pretty good views of the West Canada Wilderness and Perkins Clearing and the Jessup River area from here.

At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 56 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph.

I may try next to hike back to Pillsbury Lake 🐡 but it depends on the time. That’s 3.5 miles each way with a 300 climb up there so not a long or difficult trip but time is tight ⌚ with the earlier sunset around 7:30. 🌇 Well I’m going to climb the tower one more time with my other camera and then head back down the mountain. 📷

August 31, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Where did Summer go? Trump must have stolen it away. 😔 Three weeks to Average High 70 🎑. Autumn is coming. Mostly sunny and 49 degrees at the Perkins Clearing. Calm wind. With the sun it doesn’t feel that cold though. ☀

I ended up deciding to go up to that campsite I like up in Perkins Clearing in the Adirondacks. ⛺ I did drive up to an swing by Fox Lair but that campsite was taken and I honestly didn’t want to listen to the road noise all weekend long. I thought I stop by at any rate. This campsite has good views of the skies so it’s nice on starry nights 🌃 although I don’t know how I’ll string up a tarp should it rain on Sunday. My guess is that I probably won’t.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 67 degrees at 3pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 28th. That said it is usually colder up north.

Today I’m planning on either hiking back to Pillsbury Lake or Pillsbury Mountain. 🗻 I am a bit undecided on that point. I’ve done Pillsbury Mountain before but there are nice views from the fire tower. Nice cool and clear day to boot. I just got to finish securing camp, change, and I should be on the trail by ten o’clock.

The sun will set at 7:34 pm with dusk around 8:03 pm, which is one minute and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 61 degrees.

I got these really nice sunglasses 😎 from Walmart. While they are all plastic, they are lightweight but not overly dark and have good coverage over the eyes. 👀 You can almost forget that you are wearing them.

I finished reading 📖 Paul Theroux’s Deep South. What a great book. It makes me want to explore the rural south, especially the Ozarks and Missouri which seems like some really wild country with few restrictions on guns 🔫 or open burning. 🔥 Plus they are very friendly towards farming, 🐮 homesteading 🐷and off grid living. 🏡

On this day in 1965, Super Guppy took it’s first flight. ✈ The aero Spacelines Super Guppy is a large, wide-bodied cargo aircraft that is used for hauling outsize cargo components. It was the successor to the Pregnant Guppy, the first of the Guppy aircraft produced by Aero Spacelines, which in turn was named for its resemblance to a pregnant guppy. Five were built in two variants, both of which were colloquially referred to as the “Super Guppy”. Now crank up that Steve Miller record, Jet Liner. 🎶

August 27, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Three weeks to Constitution Day 📜. We will be well into September at that point. Partly sunny and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 54 degrees.

I stayed overnight at my parents house last night with the dog 🐶 out back. I forgot how noisy their cows are, bellowing morning and night. 🐮 Rooster 🐓 too. They don’t have the donkey anymore though it seems. It’s nice being back at my parents house, but I still prefer to be out in the wilderness camping, and I’m not crazy about driving back and forth to work.

Slept well though, 😴 as I took a sleeping pill and was asleep by 9:30 PM. I also got up bright and early, I had coffee on the camp stove by 6:30 AM. Cold but sunny this morning. Lately I’ve not been sleeping well — but this seemed to help.

I love the country life 🚜 but high priced, high regulation New York is not for me. So I rent and save for now. My parents have way too much house and too little land and if I owned land I’d want to be able burn my own trash 🔥 and have enough land that livestock wouldn’t necessarily be right up against my house making noise and smelling like hog manure 🐷and I could shoot my guns without bothering people. 🔫Kind of like camping in the back country. I’m still so fascinated by Missouri and the south.

Driving in today I noticed that the transfer case was stuck in Auto 4×4 mode 🔘the with Service 4 WD on dash but after restarting the truck it cleared out. I hope this isn’t an issue now that the mornings are colder and damper. If it is I’ll have to get it fixed. 😯 I just don’t want to have problems on my West Virginia trip. Maybe its something simple I can fix like that brake switch I replaced myself in the spring. Or maybe it will go away. Tonight I won’t leave the truck parked in Auto 4×4, in case the dew and cold and causing problems with the shift position sensor.

Ended up having to run home and get changed after I discovered that I had a stain on the shirt 👚 I was wearing. Such a damn messy eater and I eat too much pasta. 🍲Soon most days though I’ll be wearing long sleeve shirts. Autumn🍂 is right around the corner. Looking forward to wearing my Carharrt vest again! I got my hunting license, I’m ready for Sunday.

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.⚫ That said, it’s really good quality crude and still used for some of the finest lubricants out there.

A picture perfect Labor Day Weekend to end out summer. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Maximum dew point of 57 at 6am. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 74.

I have to see about taking Friday off but I have to find coverage and need to get my mail plans done by then. ✉ I guess I could take off Friday and then come on a few hours on Friday if necessary or stay a little late on Thursday. I probably wouldn’t head out of town until Friday morning, just late enough to avoid the holiday traffic. 🚙

I’m leaning towards heading back to Speculator Tree Farm and hiking back to some of the ponds 🌲in the West Canada Wilderness from the big open campsite I enjoy. But I could also do Pisceo-Powley Road or Kelley Stand Vermont. It would be nice to get away for one last week of summer when there still is a fair amount of light in the evening. ⛺

A pretty nice morning, almost autumn like. 🍂Beats the humidity we had yesterday and it’s clearing out nicely.🌻 It’s hard to believe that a week from now it will be Labor Day. It feels like I was just fighting black flies 🐜 a few weeks ago. How fast those summer days go. That said, I do feel a bit congested this morning, and even tired — which is unusual as I was in bed by 9:30 PM last night.🌃

Yesterday was the Save the Pine Bush hike 🌲 It was a nice hike, although it was a bit cloudy and humid. Still it was a pretty night hiking at the Pine Bush. 🦋 Because the clouds came in early, we didn’t spend a lot of time looking at the stars, but so be it. You can’t really control the weather. But it was still a nice evening the Pine Bush and we had pretty good turn out.

On this day in 1970, César Chávez’s Salad Bowl strike, the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history, begins. 🚜 It will be interesting to see how things play out with the Farm Workers Bill of Rights in New York. I suspect it will have a much smaller impact then the critics claim. 🐷🐮🍎🌽

Or I may stay in town, because I’m thinking of taking a long weekend for Labor Day Weekend was we close out summer — probably head up Friday morning and coming back on Labor Day.
