Good evening! Partly clear and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 am.

Spent some time working on some new maps for the blog. 📝 And fixing and improving some code maybe also watching a YouTube video in the background that I previously downloaded. 💻 I’ve been trying to stay off of the internet more lately, although I did go down to the library for a bit. Also I got to dig through some more government data as I’d like to make more graphs 📊 for the blog in the coming weeks. Wanted to clean the bathroom 🚿 but that didn’t happen nor did I spend much time studying the map of West Virginia in preparation for my vacation in less than three weeks now.

I was going to go out for my evening walk 🚶 but it gets dark early and I’m not that big of a fan of walking after dark these days. I worry a bit about stepping funny in the dark streets especially out back of the high school and injuring my ankle. That would really ruin my trip. Shopping didn’t happen either but I didn’t really need anything right away – I might be able to hold off until Thursday then buy groceries for the weekend before I head up north.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers before 1am. Patchy fog after 11pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 56 degrees at 6am.

Sounds like a nice day. ☺ I’m still thinking about hiking Windham High Peak tomorrow 🗻 but it depends on how early a start I get. Otherwise I’ll just do Bennett Hill on my way out to my parents house. I like to do at least one mountain now to get the blood pumping each week in preparation for day hikes at Dolly Sods. 🚶

When I was over at my sisters house she has all those big TV 📺 and computers. It’s just not my thing. I do have a fairly big computer monitor but I don’t mind not having internet at home. It makes it easier to code and work without distraction. I have zero interest in all that commercial stuff. Its nice just having that away from home. Saves a lot of money too.

Good morning! Happy Friday the 13th 👿! I decided to wear my black shirt to celebrate 🎉, mainly because that’s the one I had ready to go this morning.👕 It really wans’t that intentional at all, I kind of like the black shirt, especially on the cooler days. It’s the whole Garth Brooks look, for when you want a good ride cowboy. 🤠 Sunny and 53 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. Calm wind. The dew point is 47 degrees. 😎 Nice fall morning. 🍂

So far everything this morning is going smoothly. 🚍 I caught the express bus downtown on this most sunny of mornings. Having increased problems with waking my phone up 📱, I’ve had the same phone for about two years now and I think the button on the back wearing out. Eventually I’ll probably have to replace it. I thought about actually painting the case as it’s gotten pretty worn down color wise and is more white than black these days.🖌️

That said, except for my evening walk, I’ll probably stay home this evening, 🚶 lest I fall and break my ankle or get hit by a truck or something less then fun.🙇 I have some Youtube I’ve downloaded that I want to watch 📽 and maybe I’ll make up some more maps. You know, gotta catch up with the latest updates of people chopping silage, and working on their trucks. 🐮 Lately, I’ve been doing my evening walk earlier, 🏃as I find it’s awful dark walking at 9 PM at night, and I kind of like seeing the landscape, especially walking past Sunset Farm and Heldebergs on evenings doing my walk. That said, even at 6:45 PM, it’s already starting to get dark most nights.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 72 degrees at 3pm. One degree below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 16th. Maximum dew point of 47 at 8am.

I am thinking this would be a nice day for a hike again in the Catskills. Not sure where, I would like to hike somewhere not too far from home. Maybe Windham High Peak? Been a few years since I’ve climbed that.

One month 📅 from now the Average High is 60 🍂 when the sun will be setting at 6:17 pm with dusk at 6:45 pm. Autumn will be well underway, and it will be my October vacation. I am hoping the leaves will be good then in West Virginia, going the week earlier, as they are often gone in the higher elevations by Columbus Day Weekend. I still got to take off that week, I think I will request it today.
