Good evening! The weekend is all but over. Back to work tomorrow. Cloudy and 39 degrees in Delmar. There is a east breeze at 7 mph. The next few days will be stormy and cloudy. The skies will clear Wednesday around 3 am.

Got everything I needed done this weekend. I’m good on supplies and don’t expect to drive anywheres before next weekend. It might be slick Monday night or maybe just all rain, but the bus will get me home. Lead the Pine Bush hike, which turned out to be a bust with only me there. But I had the supplies I needed. Washed my truck, went out to my parents house for Sunday dinner. Clothes are washed and put away. Ready to go to work tomorrow.
