Good evening! Mostly cloudy but some breaks in the clouds so you can see the moon and 57 degrees inside my bedroom in Delmar, NY according to the display. 🌃There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 46 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 7 am.
Almost a bit cool to be sitting outside but I still like the fresh air and watching the faint artificial firefly lights dance on the lawn and the trees. Just sitting back listening to some music, ruminating about the day that was. I mean I have to use some of that free solar power I got today or otherwise tomorrow’s sunlight will just be discarded by solar controller. 🌝I checked and despite the clouds and rain the panel was still topping off the battery. It’s kind of pretty and calming but the damn motor in the firefly light is so noisy. 🐸Fine when you have headphones on but it does kind of disturb the peace.
Today wasn’t a half bad day at work. I expected a long day but that was not to be, I caught the five o’clock express bus home.💼 Moreover tomorrow is not a session day so no need to dress up. Going to be a nice morning tomorrow so I may try to get an early start😎 and walk down to the express bus.
Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 4am. Patchy fog after 3am. Otherwise, cloudy☁ , with a low of 56 degrees at 2am. Seven degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 55 at 5am. South wind 5 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2017, we had cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1967.
Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous Moon 🌔 with 62% illuminated. The moon will set at 2:37 am. The Flower Moon 🌕 is on Monday night with mostly clear skies. Definitely can smell the lilacs out back. The sun will rise at 5:25 am with the first light at 4:52 am, which is 48 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 9 hours and 6 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 43 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny ☀, with a high of 81 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 55 at 6am. Northwest wind 8 to 15 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 73 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1964.
Made some Macaroni and Cheese for dinner with a bunch of broccoli. A little bit more high calorie than I normally eat at home but I wanted a change. I get tired of having to find easy to cook meals with low packaging waste that is affordable. I guess I should take another look at the store and get more creative. I always try to have a big portion of vegetables in every meal.
Tonight I went down to the library and uploaded a few new Google Maps to the blog and another chart. I admit that I should do a lot more of that but I’ve gotten tired of that as I’ve mapped and graphed much of what I can get off interesting public data. I should do more digging bit I’m lazy.🐷 Maybe I should come up with some more. At least I have some things ready for the next few days and after which I will either have to make more or dig in the archives for past things folks have long forgotten.
Well, at least three first half of Memorial Day Weekend looks nice.😾 Saturday, a chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 85. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 63 at 6pm. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Maximum dew point of 60 at 1pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 72 degrees.
I think I’m going camping in the Adirondacks but where is to be decided. Still thinking about the Wells or Speculator area but with it going to be so warm Saturday, Pisceo Powley seems quite appealing too. ⛺Fishing opportunities are better in Wells though under the dam. Might come back Sunday if it’s a complete washout. Decided to skip kayaking for this trip, I’d rather just park the truck for the weekend, and walk everywhere from camp to save gas, especially now that I expect the solar panel to keep things charged. Plus I get tired of driving all the time.
Got a bunch of books out of the library to read over the long weekend. I plan to spend much of my weekend reading. I really don’t read enough these days. 📚 You can learn much from a good book. Having a smartphone is kind of a big distraction although at least I don’t have regular internet or television at home.
In four weeks on June 19 the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm,🌄 which is 18 minutes and 7 seconds later then tonight. Almost the latest sunset of the year. In 2017 on that day, we had thunderstorm, thunderstorm rain, rain, mist, mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 83 and 68 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 79 and 58 degrees. The record high of 94 degrees was set back in 1995.
Decided to buy another six of those FC 16 Max7219 modules from China,🎎 this time in green. I want to build a third large VMS display to use downstairs or for other projects. 💻Set me back $27 as the green modules are somewhat more expensive than the red ones. They also make blue ones but they are even more expensive as they have a different forward voltage than the standard red or even green ones. There may be cheaper LED displays available but these are big enough to be easily read across the room, don’t use much power and can be powered over USB and are well supported by Arduino libraries.
Looking ahead, 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ is in 2 weeks, Average High is 80 🏖 is a month away, Election Day 2018 🗳️ is in 24 weeks, Thanksgiving 🦃 is in 6 months, Christmas 🎅 is in 31 weeks, New Years Day 2019 🎉 is in 32 weeks, 36th Birthday 🎉 is in 36 weeks and Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 128 weeks.
🇺🇸🦅Only 2 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

Going to warm up and be sunny by mid week. Maybe hit 90. I’ll see what the impact of the landlord cutting all of the various trees in the yard will be, although honestly I think that by the time I get home most nights the sun will be below the tree line. Not going to be really humid this week although possibly some more muggy air could push in on Thursday. Have to watch it.
Next weekend looks like it might be perfect weather-wise. Next Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 71. Maximum dew point of 46 at 6pm. Next Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 70. Maximum dew point of 54 at 7pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 71 degrees. Too bad that’s the weekend I have to work. More than a little annoyed but work is important as pays for ammunition, beer, gasoline, jacked up trucks and guns. But maybe it will be a pattern lasting for most of the summer. I’m hoping for some really nice summer weekends.
In four weeks on June 11 the sun will be setting at 8:33 pm, which is 22 minutes and 56 seconds later then tonight.

As you can see who follow me on Facebook, I’m reconnected between the blog and the Facebook site. I hate messing with the Facebook API which always seems to be changing and breaking things unnecessarily. Still image previews are broken, I got to research that further.
I’ve been researching adding preview images for graphics and Google Maps that I make but that requires a screenshot be rendered and that is a bit more difficult than might appear at first glance. That said it’s in my long term list of coding projects.
More charts and maps of school funding data coming up this week for you to play with as our local school district votes come up. It’s important to participate in our democratic process so get out and vote on Tuesday.

Grooving along, living in the new world with Oliver Anthony
Songs about about of populism and nostalgia dominate the radio while people think back to the simpler more innocent times of the 2000s and 2010s when Climate Change induced storms didn’t lead the news headlines a leading presidential candidate wasn’t an octonian or an multi time indicted felon. As we count down the days until America turns 250 with all the signs and banners to be erected and days to be celebrated with fireworks and picnics.
Good morning! Happy Thursday. Mostly cloudy and 58 degrees in Delmar for the morning walk. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. The skies will clear Saturday around 4 am.
Woke up early ⏰ as I was asleep early at nine 9⃣ and made an omelet with chopped zucchini and tomatoes that I ran through the food processor with garlic and onion. Added a little bit of milk and corn starch to make the egg extra fluffy. Breakfast first then the walk. Normally I prefer the other order but it was dark out early.
Today will have a chance of showers, mainly between noon and 3pm. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 69 degrees at 2pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 28th. Maximum dew point of 61 at 2pm. South wind 6 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. It was humid. The high last year was 86 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1947.
Maybe it won’t be a wash out today🌧️ but I think it probably best to take the bus 🚍 in today to work as it likely will be rain by evening. I’ve also noticed a numbness in my finger tips 🖕 and that’s a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome developing in my hands 👐 by putting too much weight on them and pinching the nerves. Not as bad yesterday as I was more careful about putting so much weight on them heading home climbing that big hill out of gorge but I got to be careful about pinching the nerves and causing permanent damage needing surgery.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:59 pm with sun having an altitude of 58.5° from the due south horizon (-12.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:07 pm with the sun in the west (280°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (286°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:45 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 1 seconds with dusk around 8:13 pm, which is one minute and 36 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon in the south-southwest (194°) at an altitude of 20° from the horizon, 234,641 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:51 pm.

Yesterday I rode out to Voorheesville 🚂 along the rail trail and spent a little bit of time out at the park 🏞 with a book before it got dark out. 25 miles ridden and 4 miles walked yesterday. Today I doubt 🤷♂️ I’ll do much riding today but I’ll walk five miles plus do the stairs at the office. As previously noted, I was in bed before 9 PM and didn’t bother to watch the Republican debate. 🐘 It’s not like I plan to vote for any candidates, as I’m an enrolled Democrat and I think I prefer Biden over any of the GOP candidates, not that I’m a big lover of Biden either but he does seem to be doing some meaningful things on the environment and climate change — to say nothing of labor and civil rights. Maybe he’s the best option, but I’ll cast my protest vote come November 2024, as New York is almost certain to go blue regardless of my vote. 💙
Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond, 🎤 might be rocking the country charts, with it’s anti-establishment critical view of what’s happening in our government, but he also has a pretty good mixture of other songs worth listening to even if you don’t like his controversial lyrics for putting the government in a bad light. 🏰 I was listening to more of his songs, and really enjoying it. There is a lot of other good artists over at RadioWV.
Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms likely, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 2am. 🌧 Low of 63 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal.

New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It was humid. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 35 occurred back in 1940.
Been researching how to bake bread 🍞 as I am thinking from fresh homemade bread would be good come this winter, and I could make it with less oil and sugar then many of the commercial breads. Not looking at recipes that much, but trying to learn how all the ingredients play together and alternative forms of bread, especially whole grains and oatmeal. 🌿 Thinking it would be good with a good split-pea or other homemade soup, or dipped in extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Already using balsamic vinegar for acidity in many of my foods, it really gives a lot of meals a lot of extra flavor.
Back in 1967, the Yippies of Abbie Hoffman’s Youth International Party temporarily disrupts trading at the New York Stock Exchange by throwing dollar bills from the viewing gallery, 💵 🤡 💸 causing trading to cease as brokers scramble to grab them. As they say, it’s all about the money. Or something like that Dan Halloran said in his bid to sell the NYC Mayorship. 👩⚖️ Money matters a lot, it’s a way to get a lot of things done.
Weekend forecast is improving. ☺ Saturday, a slight chance of showers between 8am and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 77.

Daily Update – April 1, 2022
Good morning! Happy Trout Season 🎣
River levels have to be raging after last night’s rain. But trout season isn’t a one day affair and indeed it’s April so don’t be fooled.
After last night’s heavy rain, just cloudy ☁️and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️
It wouldn’t be a bad day for fishing 🎣 if not for the high water levels and the fact that I have to work today. Friday often is the busiest day of the year where I work. 🏢 That said most of this week has been a bit of a busy week. I guess it makes up for all of the downtime earlier on.
Last night I got home around 6 🏡 had a quick dinner 🍲 but the rain arrived before I could go for my evening walk. So I sat on the tailgate of my pick up 🛻 and watched the rain come in before it really started to pour. Then I retired to bed around seven 7⃣. I was tired as I keep waking up earlier and earlier. I honestly thought 💭 it was going to be a much longer night at work.
Definitely a good rain storm last night 🌧️, probably good for a few inches of rain and lots of sewer overflows in the cities. We ended up with above average precipitation for the month of March due to the rain.
I thought about going out to Rennselearville to fish and camp over night this weekend but water levels are high, going to be windy and very sunny on Saturday. ☀ Plus I’m thinking of going up north or maybe to Central NY either thr following weekend or maybe Easter Weekend. ⛺
It might be another stay at home 🏡 weekend. Probably too cold to paint Big Red but that’s fine. I get tired from the work week and like to rest on Saturday. Then maybe take a walk out to Five Rivers. 🐦 Then maybe finish up my home work for the GIS class down at the library. 📚
I was thinking about going to the transfer station ♻ to drop off cans 🥫 and bottles but I might wait as I’m the about seeing if there is some garbage or e-waste that I can purge. I haven’t taken anything to the transfer station as garbage on about ten years, preferring to burn or recycle most of it with an occasional gas station garbage can. But you sometimes end up with things like broken metal chairs or a broken snow shovel that don’t fit into any of those categories nicely. It’s nice when you don’t generate much garbage but you end up with a lot of broken shit. 🗑
Been researching Park and Ride lots in Schenectady and bus schedules 🚍 as that might be a convenient alternative to facing rush hour traffic getting out of the city when heading up to the Adirondacks this summer. There is that CDTA 531 express to Saint Lukes and Woodlawn Park and Ride plus the limited stop CDTA 905. 🚏I hate driving the Thruway at rush hour and while I would have to get an earlier start, most of the traffic would be going the opposite way plus I wouldn’t have to find street parking in Albany. Another possibility I saw was that CDTA is taking over or at least chartering Brown’s Amsterdam routes so I might be able to even park there. 🅿
I don’t know about you but I’m glad April has returned. 🌷 The greening up of things is always nice as is getting out of town ⛺ and sleeping 😴 with the windows open 🔳. I’m sure with the rain last night and the relatively mild forecast for the week ahead it should accelerate the rate spring arrives. As much as I hate the black flies it’s nice to have nights in the wilderness by the fire with a cold beer 🔥. And I’m really looking forward to laying in a lazy river with that big black truck intertube. ⚫
November 17, 2020 Morning
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Two weeks to December 🎄. Cloudy and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ There is a south-southwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 5 pm.
This is the middle of November 🦃 so cool and cloudy weather is to be expected. 🌥 Out for my morning walk 🚶🏻, and it’s cool and gray but generally pleasant for the second half of November. A week from today will be the Tuesday before Thanksgiving 🦃. Listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s Cloudy.
Not AN ILLEGAL! At least when it comes to my truck. I got my new registration sticker on my truck 📜 and my truck passed inspection but I have to go back to the shop for the sticker later in the week. Annoying that they haven’t gotten the stickers after the November 3rd rush but they said it would take two minutes to get the inspection finished later in the week but everything looked good. At any rate, it buys me time ⌚. At some point I’ll have to make a decision about the tires and probably the worn struts and the wheel bearing that I think is going although it might just be the wear noise of the tires.
Been doing a lot of research on internet options for January should the pandemic continue along for remote work 💻 from home. I am thinking if I can reduce my data service on my phone 📱 I can cover at least some of the cost. I just don’t think it’s practical to work in my truck from the library when it’s negative 20 out and I don’t want to screw up my good job because I’m so damn stubborn about technology. 🙄My phone plan expires in December, so I could cut down the data plan to save money there. I’ll probably have to reduce my monthly savings goals but I don’t want to kill the golden cow 🐮. At any rate, I would get the most basic and cheapest plan if I had to get it.
Plus it would be a heck of a lot easier than using the USB cable 🔌 to transfer files 📂 between my phone 📲 and the laptop 💻 whenever I need a file between the two. It works but it’s kind of cumbersome to say the least. Plus then I could build smart 🧠 devices using microprocessors to pull data from the internet. On the other hand, I would miss my walks to the library and the park 🏞 to get podcasts and other files.
I am working on a new chart 📊 uploader for the blog that will allow me to directly upload CSV files saved from Open Office or Microsoft Excel and use them as graphs on the blog. That means I can create new graphs directly from my phone or any other computer 🖥 I may be on.
Those Kinzua and Allegheny Reservoir aerial photos 🗺 I’ve been going through are quite interesting, I am going to do some more work on them and eventually post some historical comparisons. 📚 Neat stuff.
Today will have a chance of rain and snow before 10am, then a chance of rain between 10am and 5pm, then a slight chance of rain and snow after 5pm. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a high of 42 degrees at 2pm. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 29th. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 38 degrees. The record high of 73 was set in 1928. 2.8 inches of snow fell back in 1992.❄
Today I decided to do the virtual meeting route from the library 💻 rather than go downtown in part because I feel a bit congested in my nose. 👃🏻 I’m sure it’s just allergies now that windows are closed but everybody else will believe it’s the Corona 👾 even though I haven’t been drinking 🍻 at all lately and have been mostly anti-social. 🗣️
Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:41 am with sun having an altitude of 28.3° from the due south horizon (-42.6° vs. 6/21).

At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 39 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 40 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 4 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 23 degrees at 5am. Eight degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around December 10th. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph. In 2019, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 32 degrees. The record low of 10 occurred back in 1972.
Tomorrow is going to be bitterly cold ❄. I am not prepared for winter ☃️ but I have to admit that for the morning walk and evening walk 🧣I wore my heavy Carhartt. I will have to leave the heat turned up tonight before bed so things don’t get too cold by mid night.
A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 53. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 55. Typical average high for the weekend is 46 degrees.
This weekend I will probably stay in town, 🏡 just because next weekend after Thanksgiving I might do a three day Buy Nothing Weekend trip to the Adirondacks. Sure I could probably work remotely from the library on that following in Speculator but the sun sets early this time of year. And I don’t want to drive home from the Adirondacks during the rut in the darkness.
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until December 🎄 when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm. On that day in 2019, we had snow and temperatures between 28 and 17 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 41 degrees. We hit a record high of 67 back in 1934.
August 6, 2020 Morning
Good morning! Happy Thursday. Partly cloudy and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌥️Calm wind. The dew point is 58 degrees. After a quite cloudy morning it’s clearing out a bit.
Today I’m working on getting packed for my trip out to the Finger Lakes. ⛺ I was thinking originally about leaving tomorrow before work but I think I will actually go after work. It looks like it’s going to be pretty cloudy and icky tomorrow actually. I would work remotely from camp tomorrow but I don’t want to work in the rain if I can and I’ll avoid it. I actually have quite a bit of stuff to do tomorrow.
Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 79 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around August 24th. Maximum dew point of 59 at 10am. West wind 3 to 5 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became rain by afternoon. It was very sticky. The high last year was 84 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1900.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:02 pm with sun having an altitude of 63.9° from the due south horizon (-6.9° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.9 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:31 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (287°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (294°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:10 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 9 seconds with dusk around 8:40 pm, which is one minute and 18 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:20 pm.

I realize cleaning up my blog yesterday I accidentally deleted the code that makes the charts display so it’s been noticed but I don’t know if there’s been no charts on the blog today. 📝 I also fix some other mistakes and issues with the blog. I don’t know if I can go to the library to update the blog out there but I won’t be able to use my phone because because it probably is closed through the Coronavirus. that’s it still good to get away and I shouldn’t have to work next week because I actually had the really the days off.
Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 80. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Maximum dew point of 67 at 10am. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 86. Maximum dew point of 65 at 10am. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees.
After Friday it should be a pretty nice weekend. ☺ But I’m still thinking I’ll probably leave Friday as that breaks up the trip to the Finger Lakes and gives me more chances to stop. 🚘 I’m thinking of taking the mid state route this time down NY 13 through Cortland and Ithaca this time, maybe stopping at a few parks and scenic visits. 🏞 I’m not totally set on the route yet.
