Good evening. Currently 47 degrees and mild. This evening will be fairly cloudy but still not bad to sit outside with a jacket on. We are only looking for a low around 42 degrees tonight. Mild weather continues for the foreseeable future with 59 degrees and partly cloudy on Friday. Upper 50s for highs through the weekend then rain but continued warm for Monday.

I’m strongly thinking about heading to Southern Vermont this weekend. Not too far but next weekend I’ll be stuck in town for the Save the Pine Bush Hike. I’d like to do some hiking and camping. Maybe some plinking too. I hate driving NY 7 through Troy but I been a lot of other places lately and would prefer to hold off the next trip to the Adirondacks until after Christmas. I have to get a haircut Saturday morning and refill the propane, but other than that I could leave pretty early. I don’t need any food or supplies, well except for one thing that I can pick up at the store when I go this evening.

Good morning. A fairly warm morning at 47 degrees but also a bit rainy but at this point things are clearing out. We might even see some sun on this quite mild Thursday. Might even hit 50 degrees. Already some blue skies to the north.

I have a lot of things I should do this weekend but I still almost want to head out of town while the weather is still warm. We will see. That said, it looks like the mild December weather will be with us for a while. I wouldn’t mind some snow eventually for lean-to camping. I need to get a haircut and refill propane tank among other things like continuing to clean my apartment. I would also like to get mapping working again on my laptop.

Got to bed at a reasonable hour, so hopefully I’ll be more awake at work today. I should have gotten coffee yesterday because I was so tired. I should have just opened that god awful instant coffee that is multiple decades old on my desk. Going to be a another busy day in the office but I’m hopeful I will have a lot more energy.

Have a great day! Tomorrow is Friday.
