Should be a great day in the Adirondacks. π²π² π¦ π¦ Looking forward to working from that park up by Lake Pleasant and the library up there and then setting up and having a nice campfire βΊ come evening. It does get dark early this time of year so I should think whether or not I need to buy firewood π³ on the way up there, less than 50 miles from my destination.
Dropping off paper π to the recycling dumpsters at the Park and Ride, β» I saw that the town will be discontinuing the paper recycling service come October. I guess I will have to start going to the transfer station more regularly. It’s probably good to be making more regular trips, I should be recycling more plastics and getting rid of accumulated broken shit. π Yes, I can probably use some of the paper to start campfires but it seems like so much trash is paper or cardboard. π₯ π² I can’t wait until I own land out in country and can just burn it or use it for livestock bedding but truth be told, paper doesn’t burn that great and leaves a lot of ash and residue.
