Good evening! Clear and 54 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. There is a west breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. Between the low dew point and breeze it’s chilly out tonight. Got my hoodie and vest on for the first time in months. Summer seems to be coming to an end. But that’s to be expected.🍂 All good things must end. ⌛

Definitely cold ❄. I was laying in the hammock for a while this evening but then I sat by the fire 🔥 until I climbed under the covers in my truck. 🛏 Now I’m finishing up this blog post under the covers.

Kind of a busy day with remote working. 🎥 That Zoom meeting which I wasn’t expecting dragged on for almost an hour and a half but only used about 300 MB of data but I would have much preferred to do it on the Wi-Fi to save bandwidth on the work network – and because I often like to flip to other browser tabs while the meeting is going on. 📶 At least this campsite has decent enough cellphone reception and I could do a work on my phone. That said, I will probably head home on Monday just because I expect many more lengthy meetings on Tuesday and I don’t know if I will have enough sun ☀ at this campsite to keep things well charged.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 44 degrees at 5am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 3rd. West wind 10 to 13 mph.
