 Sunny Day Looking South West Towards the Catskills

April 26, 2023 Morning

I bet the teats on that camel in Vermont is cold this morning ๐Ÿช

Maybe it’s just a heavy dew this morning but boy is it cold. Suns a rising quickly but it was hard to get out of bed with the cold.

Good morning! What day is it? A Frosty Hump Day, of course. Mostly clear and 32 degrees in Delmar, NY. ๐ŸŒ… Calm wind.

Hopefully this Wednesday won’t have a fast let down like like a camel has. ๐Ÿฅ› Regardless I’m moving but not that quick, as I do my morning walk ๐Ÿšถ. 8.2 miles walked yesterday.

Today will have a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Increasing clouds ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 58 degrees at 2pm.

I can’t believe how cold โ„ it’s been lately. My office ๐Ÿข felt cold yesterday and I have had to wear my hoodie both for my morning and evening walks. Maybe I was spoiled after those 80 degrees days earlier in April. El Nino is coming this summer ๐Ÿ– so they’re predicting a hot one. I just want my hot coffee โ˜• when I get back inside.

Today will have 13 hours and 55 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 37 seconds over yesterday.

Yesterday evening the Voorheesville bus ๐Ÿš never came. I waited and waited assuming it was running late like the other five riders, some going to Voorheesville but it never came. Ended up waiting and taking the local home. ๐Ÿš Then I gave the riders parked at the Elm Ave Park and Ride a ride over in my big jacked up truck. ๐Ÿ›ป And of course the local was running late too so I didn’t end up having dinner until 6:45 and I was hungry.

Good morning! Happy Sunday. โ˜บ

Mostly cloudy and 39 degrees in Delmar as I walk down to Norman’s Kills Falls. โ›… There is a southwest breeze at 10 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. A bit chilly and damp this morning but it will improve later on.

I was impressed that I walked 65.3 miles last week and I’m at mile 200 for the month. ๐Ÿšถ It feels good as is quiting processed foods and processed sugars. The worse thing is reducing the pushers that keep trying to push the crap down your throat. Now I finally understand what the DARE program was about, resisting that crap friends and families try to ram down your throat. ๐Ÿ‘ It’s only doughnuts ๐Ÿฉ, what’s wrong with shooting a little heroin, I mean sugar once and a while.

While I was hoping to hike the rail trail ๐Ÿš‚ without getting runover by yuppies ๐Ÿƒ I knew that was unlikely. It will be a complete orgy of yuppie shit later on but I hope to be off the trail by then and eating either lunch or hiking Bennett Hill by then.

Yesterday was a cold and snowy day. ๐ŸŒจ Not a lot of snow but clouds are and flurries most of the day. I did my usual walk ๐Ÿšถ out Meads Lane and Five Rivers Environmental Education. It was cold at times. And I did some research on machine learning techniques to predict various things. ๐Ÿค–

Probably didn’t need to go for a walk ๐Ÿšถ tonight but extra steps are good and I like walking. Helps pass the time and it’s healthy.

The big forty is what’s on my mind tonight. ๐ŸŽ‚ I mean I know it’s just a number and most people eventually hit it but it’s not something you ever give much thought about when you are young. The day will come and go like all do, and what matters is what you make of it as one step towards the future ๐Ÿ”ฎ but it’s such a big number. Been doing a lot of reading about the meaning of turning forty and I guess the best thing about being in your forties is you don’t give a rats ass what others think about you not that I ever really did.

I went to the library for the first time in several weeks ๐Ÿ“š mostly to use the internet, I didn’t get any books out. The library since the pandemic seems so much more crowded than the past. With my unlimited phone plan I mostly just use my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ but for coding purposes and data intensive things it’s best to go to the library. Plus cell service lately has been unreliable locally since the storm yesterday.

At 8 PM, the moon was in the west-southwest (244ยฐ) at an altitude of 30ยฐ from the horizon, some 234,343 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. ๐Ÿš€ Can’t see it through the clouds.

I filled up the water ๐Ÿ’ฆ container and loaded up the propane tank to be filled after I go to the dentist and then I plan to head up to the woods to ski ๐ŸŽฟ and camp โ›บ on my final day of being in my thirties. I just sleep better and are happier in the woods. ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ But first the evening walk ๐Ÿšถ. Also may need more coffee โ˜• before I run out.

Franklin Roosevelt's Car

January 26, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Snow fog, cloudy and one degree above freezing for the morning walk. ๐ŸŒซ There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There are 5 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ We ended up getting less rain than expected and no snow over night. So things melted but there is still snow around. Things will freeze again tonight. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Kind of damp and chilly for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถbut the lack of ice is nice. Reminds me of the snowy icy day camping at East Otto State Forest in November or that day camping in December in the Vanderwhacker wilderness. Lots of slop for snow. Dawn is now 6:45 which means that except for the cloudest days the start of the walk isn’t pitch black.

Today was a breakfast reheat morning ๐Ÿฅž which meant it was a quick and easy start to the morning and I set my alarm โฐ 10 minutes earlier to ensure that I maintain my schedule. I like my calorie reduction program it saves so much food and money ๐Ÿ’ต. With inflation every dollar is precious, especially if I can invest it while the market is down.

Today will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a high of 40 degrees at 11am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 28th. West wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became snow by afternoon. The high last year was 24 degrees. The record high of 59 was set in 1950. 8.5 inches of snow fell back in 1949.โ„

Taking the express bus ๐Ÿš in as today isn’t a session day. Looks like they’re running the big articulated bus this morning ๐Ÿšwhich means that the driver will likely leave right on time or even a bit early as those pusher buses are slower to drive through traffic. So I have to put my phone down, shower ๐Ÿšฟ quickly leave right on time for the express.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 28.6ยฐ from the due south horizon (-42.2ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 11 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 4:18 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (238ยฐ). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (245ยฐ) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:01 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 12 seconds with dusk around 5:30 pm, which is one minute and 17 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the First Quarter ๐ŸŒ“ Moon in the south-southwest (204ยฐ) at an altitude of 48ยฐ from the horizon, 234,063 miles away. ๐Ÿš€ The best time to look at the stars is after 6:05 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies ๐ŸŒƒ and temperatures around 33 degrees. The wind chill around sunset will be 22. โ˜ƒ๏ธ Breezy, 17 mph breeze from the west with gusts up to 29mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 50 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 10 seconds over today.

I got milk ๐Ÿฅ› at Stewart’s yesterday and was disappointed that the expiration date is a week from Friday. Compared to the grocery store that’s good but it’s not as fresh as it used to be. Plus with my calorie reduction program I’m not drinking as much milk as it once did.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a low of 24 degrees at 4am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 8th.

Clouds and mild for the weekend ๐ŸŒฅ Saturday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. South wind 10 to 14 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Sunday, a chance of snow before 10am, then a chance of rain and snow between 10am and 1pm, then a chance of rain after 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.
