Time to ride past those plastic houses with the 3-yard dumpsters out front on my mountain bike, past the garbage recycling plant and sewage treatment works, under the interstate highway to the suburban office building next to the old garbage dump ðŸĒ

I guess I can’t work remote all of the time from the bed of my F-350 SuperDuty truck. It’s funny now, my feed is full of slide-in campers for my truck, but I settled on a camper shell, as I prefer simpler maintance and lower center of gravity, and a lot cheaper so I can save money for that off-grid cabin with the trash burner out back so I only have to recycle those occassional cans or dig a hole out back in woods.

It was fun being out in Brookfield, 🐎 really didn’t see that many horses being back at Lost Pond, that’s a few miles back from the Main Assembly area. There were some people camping up at Cherry 🍒 Ridge Campground when I stopped to send a text message from there but outside of a dog walker, ðŸĶī a hunter scoping out deer around dusk ðŸĶŒ from their pickup, and one group of horsey ðŸī riders by Truck Trail 4, it was very quiet up there. Remote work Monday was fairly quiet too, there was some projects but not too insane.

Things are mostly unpacked, 🐁 it’s finally gotten cool enough that the mouse has moved into the walls, at least one of them. It was werid, when I got home it was colder inside then out, as my heat is not on yet. Made it easier for bringing gear back in, didn’t have to worry about the cold ðŸ§Ĩ getting back in. As it was already inside. Turned the water heater back on after four days off, hopefully now that will hush the National Gird Power Company’s 🔌 warning that power use is spiking, mostly because I did some baking and cooking, 🍞 ðŸŦ– and I don’t use a lot of power for other purposes, except maybe my electric blanket and ocacssioanlly a space heater. Always nice to get home and see the waste baskets 🗑ïļ empty, knowing this past weekend the shit got burnt down to nothing. ðŸ”Ĩ Your trash ain’t nothing but ash. Still have about half a tank of gas â›― left in the SuperDuty!
