Tomorrow I am dropping my truck off at the dealership to get the oil changed and tires rotated. 🚗 I’m going to walk down to Central or maybe just catch the bus on Wolf Road to work and pick up after work. It’s easier for me then waiting for the dealership. I changed my own oil for years but it’s not worth the effort in my book at this point.

Tonight I cleaned out my truck, 🚿 and washed it for the next two months on the road for work. I hadn’t really cleaned out the center console in years so it needed a good organization. I’m trying to find the many things I’ve misplaced over the years. I also put away most of my camping gear from the bed of the truck as I wanted to get that organized and know where things are for my November trip. Something I brought in seems to have brought in some house flies which is annoying. Bought a new hat because the ones I have are falling apart and with the autumn weather I’m sure I’ll be wearing more. Tomorrow if it’s not too hot, my plan is to tackle the kitchen. If it’s really hot I might try to stay late at work to get caught up on several other things.

A picture perfect autumn weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 73. Maximum dew point of 49 at 6am. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 68. Maximum dew point of 52 at 4pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 75 degrees. Not a lot of colors yet but still quite comfortable and nice. I wish I didn’t have to work this weekend but so be it. At least I’ll be out somewhere I can enjoy the fresh autumn weather.

In four weeks on October 2 the sun will be setting at 6:34 pm,🌄 which is 49 minutes and 33 seconds earlier then tonight.
