Adirondacks Trip - Day 3

After a relatively good sleep, I was up at 0515 and started teleworking at 0530. Eileen called at 0715 and we tried to work around her work stuff to make concrete plans.  We were not successful but I convinced her to let me take her dog (Mika) for a walk during the lunch hour.  Next, I took a break for breakfast in the hotel lobby (0800).  Afterwards, I kept busy with my job, despite having no meetings, all morning.  At 1130, I left the Scottish Inn and drove to Eileen's to pick up Mika so we could go for a walk.  I drove her to Hannawa Falls and I took her all the way from the Fire Station (trailhead) to the Sugar Island trailhead parking lot.  We played catch, practiced commands (for me) and generally had fun.  By the end, we'd walked close to four miles total (the last half on the road) and Mika seemed happy with all the exercise.  Also, it seemed like a Spring day (50s, river thawed, some patches of ice but mostly mud).  I dropped Mika off at Eileen's and then drove north on NY-56 to get some lunch at Arby's (1325).  Next, I returned to the hotel and continued teleworking until almost 1700.  Following up on an earlier offer I'd received from Eileen's daughter (Heidi), I was planning to go get Mika for another walk.  By then, however, she'd left for one with family and friends.  Instead, I drove to Eben's Hearth again and did the "2-4-2-sday" big beer challenge (mug club) again (also got an appetizer).  There were lots of Clarkson students hanging out there and I learned more about the Mug Club (done by school year).  Tried a "Lunchbox" cocktail (Coors, OJ, Southern Comfort and amaretto).  Done socializing at 1755, I returned to hotel and joined an webinar (for Connecticut River Conservancy) that was scheduled from 1800 to 1900.  Brenna called during this Zoom meeting (effectively ending it for me) and we ended up talking for 90 minutes.  After that, I went to Walmart to get some new sunglasses (the old ones had been crushed when I went skiing with my dad and I'd been unable to repair them). While there, I finished walking (inside/outside) my 10K steps (done at 2015).  Back at the hotel, I watched some movies and did some reading.  Went to bed at 2200.  Hope the weather is just as nice tomorrow!
