See what you need is bariatric surgery … 🫃🏻

Insert pregnant man emoji here. I had to giggle a bit when I saw that ad the other day after I rode my mountain bike up the State Street Hill from the suburban office in Menands to the Alfred E Smith Building and hiked up 17 flights of stairs prior to the the Friday meeting, then rode my bike home.

Oh, Oh, Ozempic the Advertisers Sing, 🎶 and I don’t even own a color television and I know the marketing slogan to morbidly obese who spend their time eating Cheesy Burgers 🍔 while watching the Boob. 📺 Or internet at home, the last time I brought my laptop home was sometime in January. 🌬️ With that wind today and snow squall I’m not sure if I am going anywhere today, I might put off going to Wally World until tomorrow, or maybe I’ll just wait until later on, ride out to Schiffendecker Preserve, 🐸 then shop and be home before dark. In evening around 6 PM, Wally World tends to be a lot quieter. Mostly I want to get lemons, 🍋 as I was inspired by lemon Mom gave me other day for chopping up and using in blueberry pancakes.

But mostly it’s just a quiet 🤫 somewhat stoned Saturday, 🪨😁 reading and studying the newspapers about the smelly trash fire known as the Middle East 🗞️ and watching the YouTube. And maybe pushing through some more of the library books. Trust me, I know about stinky trash fires, as there is been many years I’ve gone to transfer station once a year. 🗑️ I am refusing to turn the heat back on my apartment but I did have the  space heater out a little to warm my hands and certainly used my electric blanket a bit last night. Maybe tonight I’ll turn the heat to prevent the pipes to get from too cold, though I’m not sure there is much risk at this point of the year. I just want the days to return when I can have the window open and enjoy the fresh air. 🪟 I should be studying trucks and making my next move, as I will be pretty busy on Monday, but I am kind of undecided and feel like much less of rush as I watch the Iran 🇮🇷 situation play out. Do I really want ginormous Godzilla truck 🐲 ? And I can’t imagine them flying off dealer lots.

Honestly, if gas is going to be $5 or $6 a gallon, maybe this is not the year to be planning to drive out to Michigan in an HD truck. 🏕️ I’m not saying, not to buy the HD truck, ⛽ but maybe I would just have just as much if I disappeared for the week to the Green Mountains, in my nice new camping rig, and just hung out, read books and relaxed. 📚 Really need like a week and half for a good Michigan trip, and I don’t want to deal with a lot of work crap while I’m on vacation, so maybe this is best done in 2027. Though, I do worry the time to get away is getting short with my parents getting old, and I’m not sure that I won’t be tied down with responsibilities much too soon. Trick is to find some place with cell service for streaming media on my phone, 📱 a quiet place within a short bike ride from swimming hole.  That could be a good summer vacation without burning too much gas. I don’t think I want to Finger Lakes again this year, though I guess that option but I didn’t get a state parks pass this year. 💳
