Had a nice day off and spent some time at a great spot for any automobile aficionados with a friend. If haven’t been to the Northeast Car Museum, you need to find the time to go. #daysoffwellspent #carnuts #upstateny #exploreny (at Northeast Classic Car Museum)

Hammer time. Ruger Hammer. Cold anvil , warm heart. #olderiecanalstatepark #itsablacksmiththing #roundinghammer #blacksmithshop #metalsmith #anvillove #thorogoodboots (at Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum)

So I’m such a lucky guy. A friend of the museum and I were having a discussion about beer and I mentioned that I usually don’t go for flavored sweet stuff , but when in Virginia I have enjoyed a wonderful Porter with a distinctive name. She said she would keep an eye out for it and maybe bring some back. Well , tonight I will enjoy one of my favorite beers. #sweetbabyjesus #thankfulbeerdudes #beermakesmehappy #imatellyouhowireallyfeel #itsabeerthing (at Kenwood University)

Taking this out for a spin after a while resting. I received this for my 20 th Birthday ....... 43 yrs ago 🙄. That’s right , original owner since new. I love this old friend. #seikolover #vintagetimepiece #watchesofinstagram #watchibsession (at Kenwood University)

Tonight’s dinner courtesy of Henry’s Farm Stand. Their pork chops over hickory coals and roasted Delicata squash, peppers , and cauliflower. Good food from a good place. #madisoncountyfarms #goodfoodgoodsource #henrysfarmstand #ilovewhereilive #thankfulforthefarmers (at Oneida Community Golf Club)

Bikes along the Erie. Not all are in good order. Some need to be re-tired #olderiecanalstatepark #blackandwhitephoto #blackandwhitechallenge (at Old Erie Canal State Park)

Farmers work is never done. But it creates these textures I love. #madisoncountyny #farmland #cornformiles #thislandisourland #thankgodimacountryboy (at Stockbridge, New York)
