Good evening! Cloudy and 37 degrees in City of Albany. There is a west-northwest breeze at 15 mph. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime. I went home to pick up some dinner and my truck, and it was dang cold waiting out for the bus, especially with that wind whipping around. Bus was running late, but I made it home and back downtown within in hour. With my smartphone, I was never out of contact, especially when I was on the bus and not driving.

Decided to catch the bus to work. We’ll see how things go later on tonight, I might swing by home later and get Big Red or make alternative arrangements. Hopefully it won’t be that long of a day. I just so hate driving in the city. I’m willing to wait a half hour for the bus them fight traffic downtown. Plus I can’t blog or play on my smartphone when driving, so using my fossil fuel burner to go downtown is a waste of time. I like having that quiet time to my self when I’m on the bus in the morning and afternoon.

I am pretty sure that I will be staying in town for Easter Weekend based on the latest forecast and because I have a lot of shit to get done because everything has gotten all backed up because I’ve been at work so much lately. That and I’m planning on going on vacation either that Tuesday evening or Wednesday day after Easter. I got to that wiring done by then and the new battery in. Plus I think it’s going to rain next weekend. Which is good because the week is going to be fairly warm and sunny, and until things green up, I don’t want things to dry out too much. Camping would suck if I couldn’t have a nice big fire every night.

As previously noted, next Friday is Good Friday when the sun will be setting at 7:37 pm with dusk at 8:06 pm. On that day in 2016, we had sunny skies and temperatures between 58 and 31 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 58 degrees. We hit a record high of 83 back in 1968.
