I don’t know, what gets my heart beating hard is smoking a lot of pot and those caffeine pills, or hell that dark roast coffee they always have flowing in Assembly’s Data Center which is the Jack Daniel’s of the coffee world.
I might complain a lot about being moved from my beautiful downtown office overlooking the Capitol to a suburbanite industrial building 🏢 overlooking the old city dump and the sewage treatment plant and sewage sludge/PFOA incinerator – it stinks 👃🚽 – but the free unlimited coffee is always good drunk in my DACC mug. ☕ I get all the best swag working for the campaign committee. Says the boy who burns his trash 🔥 and wants to eventually own livestock like hogs 🐽 and horney buck goats. 🐐 It’s actually a lot of fun, th money is good and I don’t have to ride the State Street Hill on my mountain bike 🚲 every day or take Delaware Avenue. Though it sucks with them doing away with the express bus. 🚍 For a while before end, that was pretty awesome with transfer though evening we’re tight. That coffee ☕ definitely makes me poop 💩 well. That and all the fiber I try to include in every meal – be it carrot 🥕 or zucchuni pancakes 🥞 – and yet another big pot of kidney beans 🫘 I boiled down yesterday. I like them just as much as Edward Abbey.
I am not even a real programmer, 🖥️ as fact quietly noted by the real programmers but I do enough SQL and R to make IOI Codes and other data manipulation to keep things moving along in my little division. We do some pretty cool stuff. Next month for my Hoopla September reads I maxed out 📚 last night I got a book on Linux Programming and Rust programming. I keep flirting with old Rust language even as much as a curse the borrow checker 🔎 because I know it’s a superior and safer language to C++ and I like the CARGO package manager, though not how most Rust programs are statically linked rather then using system libraries which are mostly designed to be called from C or C++. I also got a bunch of other Edward Abbey and Hunter S. Thompson books, a book about homesteading and one on using wooded land for a variety of processes, Richard Thayer’s Nudge, and one about the best hikes in Northern Michigan. 🚶 I heard they have cheaper cannabis in Michigan, and a lot to explore especially in the wild part of the state that is not Detroit. In theory a burn ban, 🔥 but most hillbilies without nearby neighbors don’t obey as it’s like a civil $150 fine for funding local libraries at most.
Yesterday I got vaxxed, 💉 and I was incredibly disappointed that I was not questioned about my demand to get the COVID vaccine because it wasn’t fun last year with COVID for Christmas. 🎅 I didn’t get to explain because I smoked some pot a few weeks back, 🚭 that I’m a former smoker and therefor at high risk of the COVID! But the vaccine didn’t work last Christmas, just like seatbelts don’t work in a car crash when you feel sore the next door 💺. I mean you can’t prove in that wreck that you would have definately thrown through the windshield without the seat belt. 💥 I clicked on an ad accidentally for a trial lawyer ⚖️ and now my feed is full of ads for a car crash attorneys. We live such a trippy world these days. 🏳️🌈 See if my heart ♥️ gives out in the next few days, probably won’t but that would suck after spending all that money so I could have 20/15 vision and see better then the typical liberal. 👀 It will be interesting to see what the Trumpster does with marijuana, I won’t argue it doesn’t stink and is kind of obnoxious in urban areas – but it’s kind of fun too. Some of my biggest Trump supporting friends also enjoy dipping their hands in growing that plant to smoke, you know in many ways it’s easier then tobacco to grow and lot more fun to smoke or bake into brownies. 🟫 When I say former pot smoker, doesn’t mean though that I plan to stop it’s just that I have to go to work today, I’m not at camp, and I’m not stoned.
I was thinking if the old ladies at the polling place start selling pot brownies with extra fudge at the polling places as a fundraiser for the Lady Auxiliary, 🗳️ I’ll go back to voting in person, but instead it was so easy to just get my ballot in the mail, open it up, check off the marks for all the local Democrats and write in George Hayduke! for County Clerk. I am no fan of Bruce Higgley, I mean I’m sure he’s no worse then the typical machine politico, and the liberals would be like he’s probably better then the Trumpster, Mostly he’s a Democrat who wants to extract as much wealth out of the public. But that’s not saying much. 🐴 In other words, he’s just an asshole. I dropped the ballot in the mail box and the out wrapper in with other burnables, 🔥 soon enough to be bright yellow flames. After getting vaxxed last night, 🚲 rode out to Slingerlands with my dark glasses on to protect my eyes 👀. Then there was a bit more light left, so I rode out along Van Dyke Road past Preska’ Dairy 🐮 🌽 and that freshly chopped silage smelled absolutely amazing in a way only a cow person would truly understand. Going to make a lot of good milk 🥛 and ice cream 🍦 in the coming year. He’s very much a Republican with all of his signs for their candidates so likely to loose by double digit margins, but dairy man often are because if you milk cows, you’re a businessman, probably own a bunch of guns, 🔫 and of course he doesn’t like the subsidy the town gave to one of the other farmers in South Bethlehem to lease now town owned farmland, so no more traffic would infere with those who already have their homes built next to the crop fields that they also complain smell like cow crap during certain times of the year. 💩
I haven’t figured out next week yet. 🏕️ Might just do a quick trip this weekend, or maybe I’ll take off next Monday. Or I could take off the full week, and head north, starting in Speculator but ultimately driving to Horseshoe Lake and Lows Lake, the the St. Regis Canoe Area. 🛶 I do really want to check out out that rail trail, and if I wait to Columbus Day Weekend, as I’m sure Trump want you to call it, 🍁 I doubt there will much color left in the woods. Probably more deer 🦌 hunters then color at that point. But I’m not planning on heading deep into the woods, so whatever. It looks like Tuesday and Wednesday might be cloudy and rainy 🌥️ so that gives me pause. And I don’t know, I have a meeting to go to on Thursday, so when to find time to pack. 💼 Plus let’s be honest, if I’m going to the Central Adirondacks going to need be fairly well stocked up as there is only limited and expensive groceries that I can purchase along the way, it’s not like the Finger Lakes or Central NY where thee is a Walmart, or at least a Tops or Aldis not far away. I might do Cazenovia and Stoney Pond come November again this year I’m thinking. Maybe finally do that last gap in the Erie Canalway I haven’t ridden then 🚲 between Utica and Rome. Might be fun.
