Yeah I totally get what you mean about the weather throwing off the schedule. We had planned to go up to the lake this past weekend but ended up staying local and just doing some day hikes instead. The trails were surprisingly quiet for this time of year which was nice. We saw a family of deer near the ridge trail and the fall colors are just starting to pop at the higher elevations. I think next weekend might be the peak for foliage so we might try to get back out there. The air was crisp and clean 0ZQ3YUFQwPH and honestly I needed the reset after a busy week at work. Let me know if you want to try that loop trail I mentioned last time. I checked the conditions and it's all clear with no washouts. We could bring sandwiches and make a proper day of it. Just let me know what day works for you and I'll clear my schedule. Also I finally got around to organizing the garage shelves last weekend and found some old camping gear we should probably replace before next summer. Nothing urgent but the tent poles have seen better days.

I also started looking into that new coffee shop that opened near the park. A friend said they have a really good pour-over and the atmosphere is great for reading. Might check it out this weekend if the weather holds.

I was telling my brother about that documentary you recommended and he actually studied the same subject in college so we ended up having a really interesting discussion about it over dinner. He pointed out some things I hadn't considered about the timeline of events and how they were presented. I love when a film opens up that kind of dialogue afterward. Anyway I finally finished the book you lent me and I really enjoyed the second half more than the first. The pacing picked up significantly once the main character left the city. I can see why you thought I'd like it. I left it on your porch this morning with a little note. Let me know when you want to grab coffee and discuss it properly because I have some thoughts about the ending that I'd love to talk through with someone who's read it.

Also I tried that recipe you sent over last week and it turned out really well even though I had to substitute a couple of ingredients. The store was out of the fresh herbs so I used dried instead and it still worked. I'll send you a photo of how it came out.
