All day there was a pretty good threat of downpours ☔ but except for one mid day not too much rain. I got everything I needed done for the day – groceries, laundry, library books and updating the blog. 🍏 Work was pretty quiet so I just brought my laptop down to the laundromat and worked there. 👚 I started reading this book about cabin life tonight 📖 and caught up on the YouTube videos that I had downloaded.

I decided the noise I heard from the truck while disconcerting 🚘 doesn’t warrant immediate attention as I think it’s just the new ball joints complaining at the more extreme steering angles but they’re going to just do that. That’s part of the lifted truck. I’m not noticing any further issues so I don’t think they’re is anything to repair but I’ll talk to the shop that did the lift kit once I’m working downtown again if things get worse. I just don’t want things to break in the wilderness if I can avoid it and likewise I’d rather not spend money fixing a noise that’s going to exist regardless. 🔧
I’ve been thinking about my next trip. ⛺ I’m kind of tired of the Adirondacks and seeing that Cherry Ridge and Long Pond State Forest Camping areas are open again that might be my next trip. Maybe go swimming at the Glimmerglass beach? 🏊 Never been to that park in the summer.
I am thinking for summer vacation to do a Western Adirondacks and Tug Hill trip this year, 😎 and maybe spend some time exploring the Saint Lawrence County state forests. I haven’t put in any time yet for summer vacation but maybe I’ll do late July or early August.
