June 16, 2017 9 AM Update
Good morning! It is about 61 degrees under cloudy skies with a few sprinkles as I walked down to the Park and Ride this morning. More rain expected later, I don’t expect it to get much about 69 degrees today. I think I just beat the rain walking down to the express bus. I’m sure it will be wetter soon, based on the radar. I did bring my rain coat for later. Much hotter come Saturday, although I’m not expecting much of a washout for the weekend.
The sun will set at 8:35 pm with dusk around 9:10 pm, which is 21 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy conditions and 65 degrees. The dew point will be 62 degrees. There will be a south-southeast breeze at 8 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, an increase of 17 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will have a chance of showers. Patchy fog after 2am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low of 61 degrees at 4am. Four degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 62 at 6pm. South wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2016, it got down to 56 degrees with mostly sunny skies. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1954.
Got home and watched the PBS Newshour Live last night.Β It was actually a much more informative coverage tonight, rather then just gore and sex appeal. Maybe they didn’t obligated to cover flashy stories tonight, and got more into the meat of the serious policy discussions going on, and our president’s continuing ethical problems.
The rain stopped and I walked down to the library.Β Started making up some maps but didn’t get real far on that. Maybe more tonight. Ended up watching a video on one of the farming channels that I follow on Youtube. It’s just quite interesting all of the things and technologies that farmers nowadays use to produce food and fiber.
Then I got watching videos on off-grid cabins and mini-houses. In part because I’ve gotten into 12 volt wiring, and in part because I hate how overly complicated and energy wasteful modern housing, I’m just fascinated by the technology. I would rather own more land and much less house, and be able to manage my energy generation and consumption myself, along with water and waste disposal. I’m not somebody who loses much sleep about a piece of plastic wrapper tossed into a fire, especially compared to the multi-national owned landfills that are corporate alternative. Fresh eggs are good too.
Sat out back for a whileΒ playing on my phone and doing some reading. My truck accessory battery has kept a good charge all week, despite using the fan quite a bit and the truck cap lights. LED lighting technology is quite energy efficient, and the fan doesn’t use that much power. By the low voltage disconnect protecting against battery abuse, I am also allowing the battery to charge quicker and not become damaged. The next time I go driving somewhere, the charge in the accessory battery will be fully restored.
On this day in 1911, IBM founded as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company in Endicott, New York. Today it’s continuing to create jobs in the form of environmental remediation for all the hazardous solvents that leaked out of the chip manufacturing plants in Endicott, poisoning many families drinking water in the region. Technology is the gift that keeps giving in the form of toxic byproducts. God only knows how much toxic chemicals are leaking out at the SUNY NanoTech laboratories in the Albany Pine Bush, but we can guess even the smartest scientists only have a hint of what nasties they are releasing into the air and water.
Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until National Nude Day when the sun will be setting at 8:31 pm with dusk at 9:05 pm. On that day in 2016, we had thunderstorm, rain, partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 87 and 73 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 83 degrees. We hit a record high of 99 back in 1995. Skinny dipping in mid-summer is always fun in the creek. Heck, even this weekend might be warm enough to spend in a creek after dark.
Still studying getting a campstove reflector oven.Β I have found that Coleman Camp Oven that I was looking at on Amazon for $32 with two day shipping. Ebay has a mix of new and used/old ones — I would consider getting an older model, as the steel probably is a bit higher quality — but it seems like they are actually more expensive when you consider shipping. I might end up buying new. The reviews seem pretty good, although they do suggest putting some kind of pizza stone or thermal mass under what your baking for better heat dispersion, and to use a stand-alone oven thermometer over the built in one. Maybe I can get that at Wally World. As much as I like my Dutch Oven, it’s such a pain to get it the right temperature, especially with a wood fire, and it’s heavy and bulky to carry around to camp. The propane stove in contrast, you just push the pilot light button, set the heat and it works. It won’t be automatic temperature control, like a real oven, but should work decently for corn bread, fresh muffins, and cookies.
Saturday I am going to get my hair cut then go to the Gas Up.Β My hair is so long and shaggy, it needs to be cut.Β It’s going to be a hot day, but not too stormy. I could set my tent up in the woods and spend the night out camping Saturday night, but at this point I’m leaning against it, as I don’t want to have to set up a tent and load all the gear. But then again, I won’t be far from Cotton Hill and Dutch Hollow State Forests, so I could change my mind. I still haven’t put my camping gear away from last weekend. I also want to permanently wire the color changing lights in my truck cap to a switch, rather the cigarette lighter port it’s currently in, for ease of switching on and off. Should be a good weekend.
It was a pretty smooth commute in, although it’s starting to rain now. Well, I’m almost to work. Have a great day!
April 5, 2017 Morning
Good morning! The rain is gone but clouds are lingering for a while around 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Damp outside and chilly inside from last night’s rain. My heat is turned off. The skies will clear around 3 pm.
Today will be mostly cloudy mixing with more sunshine come the afternoon, with a high of 57 degrees at 4pm. Three degrees above normal. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 10 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies and a high of 36 degrees. The record high of 82 was set in 1928. 1.1 inches of snow fell back in 1914.
The sun will set at 7:26 pm with dusk around 7:55 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 12 hours and 58 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 51 seconds over yesterday. Almost 13 hours a day. Tomorrow.
Tonight will have a chance of rain, mainly after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low of 40 degrees at 5am. Six degrees above normal. Maximum wind chill around 33 at 5am; Southeast wind 5 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. More rain tomorrow. In 2016, it got down to 17 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. The record low of 14 occurred back in 1943.
Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until Average High is 60 when the sun will be setting at 7:42 pm with dusk at 8:12 pm. On that day in 2016, we had rain and temperatures between 65 and 44 degrees. We hit a record high of 92 back in 1976.
That rain we got last night was good, especially in light of the warm and dry weather expected next week. It might reach 77 degrees with a stiff dry breeze on next Tuesday, and thats wildfire weather but the heavy rains of late should help. The lack of freezing temperatures should make the grass green up a lot in the city with rain. Might be a bit farther away in the mountains though. That said I hope the woods doesn’t get too dried up because I want to be able to have a big ass campfire and burn shit when I’m up in woods. I hate living in the city.
Just a good ole boy… Making their way the only way they now how. I’m just glad in the Trump era we can now watch Dukes of Hazard Again.
Ended up walking down to the library last night. It wasn’t raining much on the walk down there but on the way back I was glad I brought my umbrella and rain coat. Raining fairly hard but things weren’t that flooded on the sidewalks and without the wind I remained fairly dry.
More waffles this morning. I couldn’t get the whole grain waffle mix at Hannaford on Saturday so I’m going to have to get to Shoprite. They have a nice selection of waffle mixes. I am going to need to get shopping on Thursday I guess because I really didn’t get enough supplies at Hannaford. I guess I can make it to the weekend but it will be stretching it.
Bought two new, inexpensive flags for camp. One is an Earth (Blue Marble) and the other is a Gadsden (Don’t Tread on Me Flag). I’m sure the later will horrify my liberal friends but that’s okay because I’ve always kind of liked the Tea Party message of defending the second amendment, individual empowerment and less government interference with the lives of private citizens. I guess my views are closer to Malcom X and Huey Newton then Donald Trump or Paul Ryan but I couldn’t find an inexpensive Black Panther flag that I liked. The Panthers Flag while nice isn’t as pretty as the yellow tea party flag. I thought about getting a Molon Labe flag but I didn’t like the colors or the military undertones. I’m not a war monger but I believe in citizen empowerment and the right of self defense and self reliance. Red white and blue 4×6 foot American flag goes well with the yellow 3×5 Gadsden flag and the 3×5 blue marble earth flag. I need not explain why I have an Earth flag, except that I believe in conservation and protecting our planet, even while i enjoy slinging mud in my big jacked up truck. I’m more concerned with air pollution from coal power plants and large landfills then marginal farmers in the mountains grazing cattle and rednecks burning trash and riding quads in the woods. Right now they are hung in my bedroom and look quite nice. I forgot how enormous my American flag really is, especially when it’s not hung high in the big wilderness but in my tiny apartment. The colors complement well.
Now just to finish wiring up the truck cap and inverter and replace the accessory battery so I can have another great summer camping with all those colorful flags in many great backcountry campsites. I also need to replace one of the propane hoses that sprung a leak and ever so frighteningly was leaking liquid propane until I turned off the lantern and tank as quickly as I safely could. Many great summer adventures are ahead. 51 days from now will be the start of Memorial Day Weekend.
Today I’m driving Big Red into work. Going to be a long day with final budget passage but hopefully not that late into the early morning, but I’ll bring a pillow so I can get some sleep on the office and take some five hours energy shots to wake up when it’s time to drive home. As long as I get a few hours of sleep and I have a energy shot and Frank Zappa’s Peaches En Regeta cued up I should be fine. I could leave Big Red home and take the bus but if we are released at 1 AM, I want to get home and sleep in my bed. Next year I’ll have the option of paying like $15 and the security of taking an Uber or Lyft home.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Schoharie Creek Thruway Bridge disaster. I was still a preschooler when it happened but I vaguely remember hearing about it and seeing it on my grandfather’s television. You can still see the scars of the emergency temporary bypass driving along NY 5S they built after the bridge collapsed and people had to detour onto an old rail bridge. Kind of a sad story, but we learned how to build better bridges. I have some graphs, videos and maps on the status of New York’s bridges that I will share later today.
Ordered another pair of dress pants online that I’m on the fence about returning. They are super comfortable but seem a bit more casual than what I normally wear with my blazer. I have to think about it more. I might return them or I might not. They are I think mostly cotton and I worry they might shrink when I wash them and the color doesn’t quite match. I do have free returns and they came with a pre printed return label so I might send them back. I’ll have to think about it some more.
Hearing on the radio about yet another massive industrial solar facility. I think it’s just madness to invest in these dubious large solar farms when it better to add the land to the state forests or wildlife management areas. Or sell development rights of these farms to prevent suburbanite developments. We have existing fossil plants that can be run at a higher capacity level and engage in more energy efficiency. I’m all for roof top solar panels and wind turbines but covering the land with semiconductor panels just doesn’t make much sense to me. At least the politicians aren’t advocating for a coal fired power plant there and a coal ash landfill.

November 16, 2016 6 PM Update
Good evening! Today was a dreary day, kind of a cold, wet miserable day to be traveling, taking down and setting up camp. Rain showers and 47 degrees in Chautauqua Gorge State Forest. There is a west breeze at 14 mph. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.
Camping tonight at Chautauqua Gorge, which is much less scenic and impressive then you might think but I wanted to visit Chautauqua County as its been years since I’ve been out here. The shelters and especially campsite eight is quite nice. It should be quite pretty tomorrow.
Checked out Cattaraugus State Forest, including one of the designated campsites, which really isn’t that impressive. But it chewed up some time as the cold rain came down. Then drove part of the Cattaraugus Amish Trail down to Cherry Creek. It was kind of interesting to see all the Amish farms, although they really are all over rural New York. Then Waze took me on a rather lengthy and crazy route to Chautauqua Gorge, running me up to Fredonia. Rain and fog didn’t give me much of a view as I traversed the vast countryside of Northern Chautauqua County.
I misplaced my card reader, so I am unable to upload most of my photos. I think I’d rather upload higher resolution photos then the Instagram ones. I usually like to take them on my stand alone camera then transfer them to the phone or upload them to the blog directly.
So the next few days will likely be very text heavy with few new photo or map posts…
I bought a second MicroSD card for the dashboard camera, as I was low on space and the first part of vacation drive was starting get overwritten on the card. While I won’t keep all the hours of dash cam video, I want to keep and share on YouTube the most scenic parts of the trip. It would be fun to look back at my drive and the memories of the trip. Often it’s hard to get photos of the most scenic and interesting parts of the trip but I still want to revisit the trip later on.
Tonight will have patchy fog after 1am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy with occasional showers, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low of 39 degrees at 5am. The stars are starting to come out. Eight degrees above normal. A bit breezy with a west wind 8 to 13 mph becoming light northwest after midnight. One year ago, mostly clear with a low around 26. The record low of 7 occurred back in 1972.
Waning Gibbous Moon tonight with 80% illuminated. The moon will rise around 6:22 pm. The Last Quarter Moon is on Sunday night with chance of snow showers expected. The Full βColdβ Moon is in 4 weeks. I’m sure it will be cold.
Tomorrow will have patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high of 56 degrees at 1pm. Nine degrees above normal. Should be a nice day. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the morning. Last year, mostly sunny with a high around 48. The record high of 73 was set in 1928. There was 2.8 inches of snow back in 1992.
Tomorrow I think I will explore a few places in Chautauqua County, maybe Chautauqua Lake, some of the state forests, maybe go up to Lake Erie. I was originally going to spend two nights camping here, but being that I want to be fairly far east come Saturday morning so I can avoid accumulating snow
Friday might reach 70 degrees under sunny skies. I will probably be in Pennsylvania on Friday. I’m thinking about but aren’t certain about going down to the Elk Country in Pennsylvania to see the elk. They are probably out grazing with the coming bad weather. I could camp at the Austin Dam Campground. Or maybe I could camp at the campground in Wellsboro. Both are $10 and get me halfway across the state. I wouldn’t mind a good walk along the Pine Creek rail trail. That would be less driving. I could overnight in New York State but I’d rather not be in the woods the night before Big Game season.
Then the weather goes down hill for the weekend. Saturday, showers likely, mainly after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 53. Windy. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. I will probably head home on Saturday, leaving early in the morning. Probably will truck cap camp rather than setting up a hot tent so I can get an early start.
Sunday, snow showers or possibly snow. Some models show 6-8 inches of snow. I certainly don’t want to deal with that in the back country. High near 35. Windy. Chance of precipitation is 80%. I think that weather is best spent at home. Plus I have a lot of dirty gear to clean and put away.
Typical average high for the weekend is 47 degrees.
Then Monday it’s back to work at my old job in Albany. I will enjoy taking the bus downtown in the morning and the time it gives me to think and blog. I have a great view of the Capitol and downtown from my office. I do need to shave. I haven’t shaved since I left last week and I have a pretty good beard at this point. Right now it looks pretty outlaw like with thick stubble on my face.
In four weeks on December 14 the sun will be setting at 4:47 pm, which is 8 minutes earlier then tonight. The average high is 36 degrees, and the record for that date is 63 degrees was set back in 1901.
