Good evening! Currently cloudy and 55 degrees in Delmar. There is a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph.

Mostly cloudy tonight, with a low around 50. Northwest wind 14 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. The normal low for tonight is 56, so it will be about six degrees above normal. The record low of 38 occured back in 1974.

Tonight we have a First Quarter Moon with 50% illuminated. The moon will rise around 12:28 pm and will set around 2:17 am. June’s Strawberry Moon is on Monday, June 20th.

Tomorrow the sun will rise at 5:16 am with the first light at 4:42 am, which is 2 seconds earlier then today.

Partly sunny and cool for Monday. Look for a high near 70. Northwest wind 15 to 17 mph. The normal high for Monday is 77, so it will be pretty cool for this time of year. The record high of 94 happened back in 1892.

The warm up occurs Tuesday with seasonal temperatures and ample sunshine. Going to be a nice week weather wise.

After taking down camp drove down to Sled Harbor then a few miles further at Perkins Clearing. Looked at fishing in what I think was the Miami River, which looked like it might have some trout pools but decided against it when I saw how low the river was. Then tossed a line in the Jessup River until I lost the lure when the wind caught it and flew into a tree. Then I got yet another lure stuck in my shirt. The wind started to pick up and then some heavy rain. Drove home. The weather sucked this weekend.

Washed my truck, gassed it up. Went to my parents house for Sunday dinner. Went for my evening walk. Finished unpacking. Really quite tired for sure.

I’m not getting into that pitty party on Facebook about some obscure shooting in Orlando as a way to ram even more absurd gun control down our throats. Life is full of risks and freedom means some people will use it irresponsibly. Punish murders to the full extent of the law and seize their assets. You can’t punish people for thought crime. I really think that the left has really lost its mind in recent years. I’m really divided on the choice between Trump and Clinton. Buffoon versus scheming, dishonest politician.

Looking ahead, Fathers Day is in 1 week, September 11th is in 13 weeks and Christmas is in 28 weeks.

I hope you had a good weekend. Sleep well.

“Misery, wretchedness, ennui and the devil — I’ve got to spend another evening in Albany. Of all the miserable, wretched, second-class, one-horse towns, this is the most miserable.”
