Wild blueberries at the White House 🫐

That’s what I am thinking about maybe for the first or second weekend of August with summer vacation most likely being pushed off until the last two weekends of August a week from Friday heading into Labor Day Weekend. That plan is not set in but I kind of like that idea.

I think the bike derailuer is adjusted well enough to get me to work today. 🚴 I hate riding the bus 🚍. The first thing will be to call the shop about the wheel bearing and have them check the rest of the suspension for any loose components. I don’t think there is anything else but it would be good for piece of mind and whatever if it gets fixed, it will hopefully mean trouble-free driving until spring time when I replace the truck. Little nervous about both the truck and bike, but if I leave early enough I can always catch the bus or shuttle at least part of the way. Regardless I’ll get to work and an appointment for my truck.

So I thinking now about the first or second week of August heading up to White House in the Adirondacks 🫐 probably just a quick weekend trip to camp and harvest blueberries and maybe hike along a bit of the North Country Placid Trail back to one of the lakes. Maybe do some fishing 🎣 and just hanging out. I also still want to get out to Schoharie and get the farm stands before too late in August. And then finally summer vacation there after.

I was surprised at Hannaford is open until 11 PM, and I had left Norman’s Kill Preserve early to get there lest they close before I grocery shop. Stocked up but made sure not too get too much to overweight the bike box. Really needed the just the basics and I figure later into he week I can ride down and get more stuff. The thing I cared about the most, apple cider vinger and some fresh blueberries. Made blueberry pancakes this morning along with some of the remaining carrots and whole-wheat flour. Good enough breakfast in my mind.
