May 31, 2016 Evening

Good evening. Partly sunny and 81 degrees this evening. There is a modest breeze and a dew point around 46, so it feels quite comfortable outside.

Definitely a nice day, walking down to the Park and Ride. Not a cloud in the sky, around 70 on our way up to 80. They’ve switched to the summer bus drivers, and it will be interesting if they’ll continue to provide a reliable 719 bus for the 5 pm evening service.

I tell you, were the heck did the holiday weekend go?
At least at this rate black fly season will quickly conclude. During the month of June, I’ll be on call or at least will need access to my email, so I have to plan trips were for the bulk of the weekend I’ll have decent cell service.

Thinking about a kayak trip out to the Hudson Islands State Park to camp for the weekend.
I did this trip a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. Also thinking of tent camping at Cole Hill State Forest, and pickup truck camping at Brookfield, Mason Lake, and/or Burnt Rossman in Schoharie County. There are a lot of places I have decent cell service.

After a weekend in the sun, swimming and enjoying it I’ve come to realize I need a good pair of swim goggles. I keep telling myself I should buy some, because I find it difficult with my eyes swimming underwater with the contacts in. I have to keep my eyes closed. Also, need a good pair of sunglasses. All things I’ve been thinking about for a while, but if I want to continue my career as a beach bum, they are kind of important (and not real expensive).

Also been thinking about getting a big semi-truck tire tube for floating in lakes I’ve wanted to get one for some time, but not sure where I could buy one. But then I realized I could probably find something like that on the internet, and have it shipped to my door. Well, maybe later in the month.

Ahh, the joys of summer … Have a good one.

May 31, 2016 Morning

As they say, the best weather happens after a long weekend. 70 degrees this morning under sunny skies. Dew point around 55 degrees so very comfortable. 80 degrees later with continued nice weather. Kind of cruel and unusual punishment after a nice weekend.
