Not a half bad day, sunny but fairly cool. ☀ Pine Bush Hike 🌲 in the morning, than Yonder Farms, 🍪 came home for lunch, picked up my dry cleaning, hiked and watched the sun set at Schodack Island State Park, 🚶 gassed up and washed off Big Red and but groceries at Aldis and Wally World. 🍓Good day but a bit muddy at the Schodack Island but lots of birds 🐦 and they were chirping.

The Pine Bush Hike was fun 🚶 as one of the people there was from Missouri and worked for years with the Farm Bureau and also the Forest Service on conservation planning. 🌲 Similar to all of the stuff that the DEC does for UMP and the National Forest down there also leases out grazing rights similar to the Finger Lakes National Forest. 🐮 I’ve always been very interested in the Ozarks – as she was saying it’s a lot cheaper and less snowy down there and folks are much less high strung than us New Yorkers. Plus gun laws are much better and fewer restrictions on open burning. 🔥 They also do a lot of fire management and controlled burns on the national forest as they do in the Pine Bush.

Plus I always like Schodack Island. 🐦 Castleton on the Hudson is always pretty as is driving past the mud flats and the very gritty outskirts of Rensselaer. Maybe not the great farm country as up the hill 🚜 but still a nice drive. Plus I like Aldis in Rensselaer. Inexpensive but a nice store 🏬.

Only pet annoyance was the guy in the big truck wash bay at the car wash 🛀 while all the other bays were empty. But I just pulled out my phone and waited 📱, listening to the radio and the results of the Nevada caucus. 📻 I think Bernie Sanders will be a good candidate to run against Donald Trump this cycle and he very much may win although the Republicans in Congress will block everything he does and probably win back the house and senate in two years – the off year 2022 railing against the socialist in the White House.

OH my GOSH, that old Yippie book 📙 hi was loaned by a friend is hilarious. 😂 Maybe not all of the content is politically correct and it’s not certainly not neutral in its views but certainly a people’s history of the 1960s through the 1970s. Some of the pages are probably too obscene to share but what do I care, it’s historical media at this point. 👴 All the people in it are very gray nowadays and the statue of limitations long past and I doubt it’s copyright. 🐽 I’m going to share more pictures tomorrow.

Rode the exercise bike 🚲 for a about an hour, caught up on YouTube. Prepper type channels tonight. While I don’t hoard supplies I do like learning more bushcraft and off grid stuff and to be more thoughtful 💭 about the risks in life. Then spend a few hours thumbing 👍 through that book about the Yippies.

It was a nice Pine Bush Dinner 🌎 featuring the folks from Extinction Rebellion. While it’s not my thing and I’ll bitch if they block the road 🚧 and leave me hungry for dinner on the bus heading home 🚍 like Occupy Albany, they are definitely doing God’s work and as always a really good dinner. I actually heard them speak previously at Bethelem Neighbors for Peace. ✌ We need more people to speak up and have their voices heard. I’m not into the activism thing and I may find some activists annoying 📢 but they’re doing a good job raising serious concerns.

I got my dry cleaning dropped off, my hair cut and groceries after the Pine Bush dinner. I was tired 😴 and it seemed like that last little bit of drive home was long from the store 🏬. It not far but I just remember listening to I Have A Hammer 🔨 by Peter, Paul and Mary and wishing I was home. $18 and I should be good on groceries for the rest of the week. Which is good because money 💵 is tight and I don’t want to shopping before Sunday. I am not planning on camping this weekend weekend – too much snow and hassle but it will be a nice weekend for the Pine Bush Hike 🚶 and maybe more skiing 🎿 on Sunday.

It was a nice day up at Rensselaerville State Forest. 🎿 Don’t get out there much these days. Lots of shooting with an AR, not me, in the gravel pit and I passed by some trappers and a bush crafter who was camping in the back country but otherwise very quiet. It is kind of nice not that far away. I should camp up there some time too. That campsite number 2 looks quite nice and it officially designated a campsite. ⛺ Maybe Memorial Day Weekend? Just a thought.

Beautiful country out that way, I’d love to eventually live in a place like that 🐮 minus the gun 🔫 and open burning restrictions. 🔥 Plus I feel like the houses are a bit too close for comfort and I don’t want to have a place that is on a road with utility services. 🔌 Some parts of the Pennsylvania Wilds remind me of that. Going to places like Rensselaerville reminds me of how much great wild country there is out there. 🐻

I am thinking tomorrow I will go up to Rensselearville State Forest to do some skiing, ⛷assuming there is enough snow out there. It’s a bit of a trip up there but I plan to go out to my parents house for Sunday dinner and I haven’t been up that way in quite a while, and it would be nice to spend an afternoon in the hilltowns. Tomorrow morning I have some other stuff  to do first. Then I am going out to my parents house for Sunday dinner.🍲 I might also want to get to the library tomorrow to upload some photos I took on Saturday and maps I made up. Depends on the time, I don’t want to get out skiing too late.

Cold evening but not that bad. 🌃 It is reasonable for this time of year. Tomorrow is going to be pretty mild. Busy day today with Pine Bush things and the Reszin Adam’s documentary but at least was decent if cold. Didn’t get a lot of video 📹 of Rezin talking but some good b roll 📼 and a few discussions. The Pine Bush meeting was good 🌲🌲🌲as was lunch at Yonder Farms. 🍏 Always like the cookies 🍪 and sweets there. They are making good progress on fighting the Crossgates Maul development but they’re is much more to do.

I got a few hours put hiking and even climbed to the top of the long closed Greater Albany Landfill 🗻 to watch the sunset. I haven’t been up there in years. Eventually thought the Pine Bush commission is planning a trail over the landfill which will have great views of the Pine Bush Preserve and surrounding areas.🌄 It will be fascinating to see how things look when they plant Pine Bush grasses and maybe even Lupine on the landfill once it’s fully closed in a few years. Technically that area is off limits right tbut it’s not posted and it was five o’clock on a Saturday evening and nobody was at the landfill. 🚮All things said and done the landfill isn’t that big of a deal compared to something like the acres of parking 🅿 at Crossgates but still when I own my own land, I’ll probably use a burn barrel or maybe better yet a forced air homemade incinerator 🔥 so I only have to go to the recycling center ♻ less than once a year with a bag of cans and glass – which nowadays is less and less of the trash with plastics taking over. New formulations of PET have all but completely replaced glass 🍶 for everything but a few things like wine 🍷 and I don’t drink wine. That said, worrying much about landfills nowadays seems silly when they are proposing 10,000 acre solar farms everywhere. ⚡

I bought a four pound bag of broccoli and two pounds of frozen 🌽 so I should be good on vegetables for a while. Probably will go shopping on Tuesday night after work I’m thinking now as it’s going to wash the salt off the roads 🚗 with the rain and I am probably good for groceries in the meantime. I really try to minimize 🚫 the amount of driving I do especially in the winter. It’s kind of nice to stay home and save for a better tomorrow, especially with road trip and camping season not that far off. ⛺

This evening when I got home I got a $60 check from my dental insurance company saying that my dentist is out of network. 😷 I know I should be happy when they sent a check. Same dental hygienist and dental insurance, so I’m not sure the issue. Maybe a different dentist at the same office, they’re in and out in five minutes. Dentist hasn’t sent me a bill yet. 📄 I am hoping that I don’t get billed for the $177 that they billed the insurance for – there normally is no copay for normal cleanings. When I get the bill I’ll call 📞 and see if they will give me a better rate for paying in cash as I normally don’t pay with my insurance and it’s the same insurance policy I had with my new job as the old. An I will probably have to find a new dentist. The only other thing I can think of is maybe I visited the dentist one week short of six months ago – my insurance pays for twice a year cleanings but I’m not sure if they count days or two services per calendar year. Regardless! Frustrating 😤 though for somebody who is always trying to save money 💵 and run a tight budget.

Continuing to read Wiring Simplified by HP Ritcher et al. 🔌 While I’m not planning on any wiring projects in the near future, it’s a good skill to become more knowledgeable about and library books are free to read 📖. I want to be more knowledgeable about wiring and safety when I own my own land, as even if my house is off grid I’ll probably want some lights and wiring and off grid power systems are hardly maintenance free. Some of endless stuff about the code requiring outlets every so many feet in a kitchen seem kind of silly but on the other hand using robust equipment that is UL rated and safely installed, not drawing too much current over the wires is a big thing. ⚡ Arc fault sensors and GFIs have only become a bigger deal in the code lately, for good reason. Looking forward to the chapter about barnyard wiring 🐮 as barns have unique electrical challenges and safe wiring in barns is important with hay, water, rats 🐀 and livestock 🐮 chewing away at wires. The more I learn today the less to learn from scratch in the future. 🎓
