Vermont drought status from Green Mountain National Forest’s Hapgood Pond. Has become Hapgood Puddle. Brand new fishing pier at right

Update: I spent it hanging out with my kid, bbqing, and shooting my sister-in-law’s AR-15. Usually not a gun person but, like any craft you don’t do, there’s beauty in spending time joining experienced hobbyists do what they love.

Of all the random skills I picked up running a town, driving a road grader remains the most fun (fully regret not accepting the excavator training offer in hindsight)
