It was the morning before Christmas 🀢 πŸŽ… ❄️

One week until New Years Eve, might actually be cold and snowy for that. But foggy, damp and everything is kind of mush for this Christmas Eve up in the wilds of Madison County.

It was drizzle when I first awoke 🌧️ after heading to bed πŸ› early last night due to the rain. It tapered off early this morning but left everything a damp slushy mess. Eggs for breakfast were good, I’ve been poking around camp β›Ί sitting by the heater and slowly gathering firewood and chopping it up for the night ahead. πŸͺ΅πŸͺ“

I swear there are two types of winter days when camping. πŸŒ¬οΈβ˜ƒοΈ Bitterly cold but sunny and rainy and damp. Today is the later. It’s fine but the forecast was so much more optimistic a few days back. I was hoping for sun β˜€ today for a nice walk 🚢 in the woods and some Christmas Eve bird 🐦 watching. Tomorrow, Christmas might be slightly better but I have my doubts. It’s still nice to be away and it’s not real cold.

Yesterday I went down to Hamilton.πŸ¦†It was chilly at Woodman Pond and the Old Chenango Canal so I didn’t stay long or spend much time poking around the village. Instead I went to Price Chopper got a few extra groceries and headed over to Moscow Hill to set up camp β›Ί, have a nice lunch and gather firewood for the night to come. Drizzled a bit midday then snow and sleet in the evening and rain around 8 pm.

Foggy 🌁 but a bit cooler this morning for a while

Company picnic day, I’m hoping for not a washout. Going to be hot but it should be relatively cool down by the river, in the shade.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Fog 🌫 nd 69 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 67 degrees. The muggy weather ends Wednesday around noontime. πŸ˜“ Won’t be quite as hot for the weekend but still very muggy. I guess the mildew needs one more chance to attack the walls in my apartment.

Kiddos are heading back to school 🚸 and while I tried to get out early for the walk 🚢 it was kind of dark out and I wanted to start the pot of beans to bring to the picnic along with the chickpeas I had soaking and now are boiling for hummus this weekend. πŸ§‘β€πŸ³ I’m working from home this morning and then I’ll get sweet corn 🌽 at Stanton’s around noon time before heading to the picnic. 🧺 I might also get some canteloupe as I want some more good things to have to eat at the picnic and it’s inexpensive and what doesn’t go at the picnic I can bring home and eat. 🍈 I’m just worried about having enough good and healthy options at the picnic.

Today will have a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3pm. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds. β›ˆοΈ After the fog burns off, mostly sunny and hot β˜€οΈ, with a high of 92 degrees at 4pm. 14 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 72 at 11am.

A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. It was somewhat humid. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 96 was set in 1945.

It should be a nice day but hot. 😰 That said, the river breeze will be nice. I’m going up to visit and spend some time with Linda this evening – John Wolcott’s wife – as she has some old clothes for me to look at and I’m sure it’s tough with her husband’s passing. A lot of her old friends came to visit I’m sure for John and I don’t want her to feel totally cut off though the facility she lives in has a lot of good programs but it must be lonely. πŸ§“πŸ» Plus she has air conditioning there and by the time I get home it will be much cooler.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:55 pm with sun having an altitude of 53.5Β° from the due south horizon (-17.3Β° vs. 6/21).

Yesterday I reached out to my web hosting provider πŸ•Έto drop the nycowboy.org domain which I haven’t used for years but I couldn’t delete myself as it was the primary hosting domain. But now I can drop it and won’t need to pay for it’s renewal come late October. I decided to renew my web host but it’s gotten expensive with inflation but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that expensive.

Tonight will have showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before midnight. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds.

Last night I decided to cook up the asparagus πŸͺ΄ I got for camping πŸ• but didn’t use up and was starting to wilt. I cooked it up with peppers, pearl onions and using a can of mackerel 🐠 which turned out quite good. I tried to make chickpea flour with my food processor this morning but I couldn’t grind the dry chickpeas enough to create a fine flour. But I used it as a crust with the eggs this morning with a layer of pulverized tomatoes πŸ…, eggs 🍳, peppers, onions, garlic and parmesan cheese. Not too bad when finished off in the broiler.

Still hoping to get to Thacher Park this weekend on the Nature Bus 🚍. And spend the day riding, assuming it’s not too wet. And reading πŸ“–, relaxing in the hammock. It’s free and fun which is good with do many expenses lately. 🚡 Sunday I hope to visit mom and dad, assuming they’re up for that.

Daily Update – October 17, 2022

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again.

One step closer to 2023. And the future. Things are difficult with inflation and stock market down, but I know if I invest and minimize what I consume today, things will be better tomorrow.

Cloudy and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫️ Calm wind. The skies will clear tomorrow around 9 am. Maybe a cool morning to have the windows open but I like the fresh air.

Saturday I went out Five Rivers in the morning, 🐦 then over to Mr. Wolcott’s place in Colonie, poked around the Crossings with John for a while then went for a hike at Five Mile Waterworks πŸ¦† and the Pine Bush Trail 🌲 along there for a while until dusk.

Sunday I was going to go to Thacher Park πŸ‚ but unsure how long the sun would be out, I decided instead just to do another hike out to Five Rivers via Meads Lane. I spent several hours poking around Van Dyke Preserve and Five Rivers. And it just was one of those days that started out gray and foggy, and I couldn’t get moving. I do think I missed out on some pretty leaves, but I just didn’t want to drive or deal with crowds, especially when I could walk to Five Rivers and it would save money. πŸ‘£ I guess I can’t complain too much, though after seeing other people’s photos from Thacher Park πŸ“· I really wish I had driven up there and just walked out to Five Rivers. I do feel like I am missing out on fall. Plus I still have questions about the reliability my of truck.

Maybe next weekend I’ll head up to Thacher Park. πŸ• Or maybe I’ll head out of town to camp. I am not sure, I am considering my options based on the weather, how busy I am with work and how well my truck is running. I am thinking maybe Madison County, but I might wait until November for that trip. Rensselearville State Forest is close but I’ve been up there a lot lately. Maybe there are other options — the thing is I will need cell service all weekend long as it’s another working weekend.

January 13, 2021 Morning

Good morning! Happy Make Your Dream Come True Day 🏑 ! Camel dairyman everywhere will note the fast let down on this Hump Day. Five weeks to 5:30 PM Sunset πŸŒ‡ . Red skies in the morning, with a few breaks of sun in the south, around 26 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind.There is a dusting of snow on the ground. β˜ƒ Things will start to thaw out at around 11 am. 🌑️

Today will be mostly cloudy πŸŒ₯, with a high of 37 degrees at 1pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 23rd. Calm wind becoming south around 6 mph in the afternoon. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 40 degrees. The record high of 71 was set in 1932. 13.1 inches of snow fell back in 1964.❄

I was certainly hoping for much nicer weather today, πŸŒ₯ but those red skies while pretty this morning are not optimistic. It’s cool but not so cold at least this morning. πŸ₯ž Pancakes this morning for breakfast, then I want to take a quick shower 🚿, go for my morning walk, 🚢 and then get ready for the morning meeting in a bit. πŸ’Ό

Yesterday, I missed my morning walk, 🚢 and I was cranky all day because of that fact. The weather was pretty miserable all day yesterday, and by afternoon I got chilled through, mainly because I ended up laying in bed πŸ› watching session and answering emails from my cellphone. I probably should have been at my desk. I ended up turning on the little electric heat and falling asleep for a half hour when it was quite toasty. I’ll have to check the Kill-a-Watt meter I have it plugged in to see how much energy I’ve used, but electricity is cheap and probably much cheaper then heating the whole apartment up to a reasonable temperature. Coal and gas fired grid power is remarkably cheap. 🏭

Out walking this morning is actually remarkably nice πŸŒ₯ but oddly damp and maybe a little bit foggy 🌁 in the sense that the air is quite damp. I think the dampness is the most noticeable reason why it has felt cold lately. Maybe I’m just happy 😊 to be do my morning walk 🚢🏻 today.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:05 pm with sun having an altitude of 26Β° from the due south horizon (-44.9Β° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 12.3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour πŸ… starts at 4:01 pm with the sun in the southwest (234Β°). πŸ“Έ The sunset is in the west-southwest (241Β°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:45 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 19 seconds with dusk around 5:16 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. πŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent πŸŒ’ Moon in the west-southwest (238Β°) at an altitude of 1Β° from the horizon, 236,779 miles away. πŸš€ Assuming you are at a high enough elevation to see it at all. The best time to look at the stars is after 5:52 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 6 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 22 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 31 seconds over yesterday.

At some point I need to get to the grocery store πŸ›’ but I don’t know when I will do that as I usually like to combine that trip with going to the library to get videos, podcasts, large GIS files πŸ“‚ and updates for the computer πŸ–₯. I should also reserve some library books πŸ“š too. I also need to figure out a day to head into the office 🏒 to do paperwork. 🚍 I’m a bit hesitant to take the bus with the Corona but I don’t want to deal with parking πŸ…Ώ especially with street closures and protests especially if I go in on a Saturday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of snow after 4am. Mostly cloudy 🌨, with a low of 29 degrees at 2am. 15 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 24th. South wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2020, we had partly cloudy skies. It got down to 36 degrees. The record low of -24 occurred back in 1957.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. πŸ˜• Saturday, rain and snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 37. Typical average high for the weekend is 30 degrees.

I was hoping to get up to the Adirondacks this long weekend β›Ί but I don’t think that’s likely with the current forecast of snow 🌨 on Saturday and clouds on Sunday up north. I had my hopes but winter can be tough. But at this point it’s less than two months until spring.

🌹🌻🌼Only 66 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

As previously noted, next Wednesday is Inauguration Day βœ… when the sun will be setting at 4:53 pm with dusk at 5:24 pm. On that day in 2020, we had sunny and temperatures between 22 and 9 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 30 degrees. We hit a record high of 53 back in 2006.
