Good evening! Partly cloudy and 59 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. Big Waning Gibbous out there to the east. The dew point is 50 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

My plan for the weekend is to hook up the new relay for the CB radio and dash camera and do some kayak fishing on Thompsons Lake I think. This weekend I am not planning on heading out of town. Been out of town too much lately and just want to relax a bit.
