Taken on Sunday September 27, 2020 at West Canada Lake Wilderness.A cup of black coffee and a few red seedless grapes and I’m off for my morning walk. Can’t complain I got a good night’s sleep with the lights out before nine. Listening to Paul Simon 1972 album and moving forward.
Good morning! Ease off that clutch pull the lever back and we’re in the second, that is Tuesday. Cloudy and damp, muggy around 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ There is a south breeze at 9 mph. ๐. The dew point is 68 degrees. The muggy weather ends tomorrow around 3 am. ๐
Last night that salmon ๐, spinach, onions were good. Adding that lemon juice and pepper makes such a difference. I was tired ๐ด but moved through Monday. ChatGPT is really good at work at summarizing articles when you are fried and don’t want to think ๐ค. It was bed ๐ after my bicycle ๐ฒ ride. A mountain bike on the asphalt of Delmar is kind of lame but get me some gravel or a logging haul road it’s pretty awesome. The banana oatmeal pancakes ๐ฅ of yesterday was good, I’m thinking spinach scrambled eggs ๐ณ for that extra punch today. I was good yesterday and I haven’t opened all they Greek yogurt that I bought on Sunday.

The high last year was 95 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1983.
I was hoping to ride to work today ๐ฒ but I’m afraid that it will rain again this evening. I’m thinking Wednesday will be better. Yesterday I walked 4.5 miles and rode 7.5 miles mostly down to the library to return my remaining library books as truth told I doubt I’ll get a chance to read them. ๐ Started to rain around 7:40 pm and I headed home but that was to be expected. Rode up to Font Grove which was about as far as I expected to get. Did the stairs up and down at work again.
Solar noon ๐ is at 1:02 pm with sun having an altitude of 63.6ยฐ from the due south horizon (-7.3ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐ starts at 7:29 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (287ยฐ). ๐ธ The sunset is in the west-northwest (293ยฐ) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:09 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 9 seconds with dusk around 8:38 pm, which is one minute and 19 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ The best time to look at the stars is after 9:18 pm.

I am still undecided about the weekend. โ I’m watching a potential clipper front that could make Saturday evening wet and I just got back from vacation. I’d like to visit John Wolcott potentially and maybe try riding in the Albany Pine Bush and the Erie Canal Trail. ๐ฒThat said summer is rapidly fading and I can’t take any days off during the week of August 20th as that’s when the other director is off. โบ I could do the Potholers ๐โโ๏ธ after my dentist appointment on Friday ๐ฆท but gas prices are up โฝ and that’s a long trip for two nights.
There are 2 months until Average High is 65 ๐ when the sun will be setting at 6:26 pm with dusk at 6:53 pm. What can I say, autumn is coming. ๐ Might want to check if the headlights are still working on your car as it will mean more driving after dark kind of like I did more than I wanted on vacation due to maximizing the days. ๐๏ธ Those were the days. Mine do. But I still don’t love driving after dark with the deer ๐ฆ, other car headlights and potholes.
Clouds hang over low.
Taken on Sunday May 3, 2015 at Auger Falls.I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way, plays the old record from Paul Simon 1972 album. My fortieth year is underway and my face is starting to look more like Mr. Simon in 1972. It’s a more mature look and it’s a sign I’ve grown healthier as I’ve lost fat in my cheeks.
Mostly cloudy, damp and around the freezing point in Delmar. โ There is a west breeze at 6 mph. ๐. The skies will clear around 3 pm.
I fully admit that I shouldn’t have left the windows open last night ๐ณ as it probably made for unnecessarily hard sleeping ๐ด as it was cold but I like a fresh air. I got to bed ๐ early around 8 pm though I listened to podcasts for a while. It’s just cold and so damp this morning.
I’m out and walking ๐ถ though it was closer to 6:20 then six am but I’m moving and getting it done. Sometimes it’s best to just put one foot before the other and not think much about it. ๐ฃ Yesterday was 7.8 mile day. Mother and Child reunion is a good song to get moving by.
