Good morning! What day is it? A beautiful early spring Hump Day, of course. 🌷Four weeks to May 🕊. Partly sunny and 38 degrees down at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. Calm wind. Pleasant 😌 morning. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 3 am. ☃️
This morning, not being a session day, I walked down to the express bus station 🚉 and are now riding into work. A fairly mild day, the heat was off in my apartment but it was quite comfortable waking up. 🌞 Waffles with blueberries and raspberries this morning. ☕ With a good cup of fresh coffee, a good start to the morning. I was feeling pretty rested, finally caught up after the Big April Fools joke known as working for 24 hours straight.
Today will have isolated showers after 3pm. Mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 61 degrees at 2pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 20th.

Today looks like it will be an awful nice early April day. Maybe not quite warm enough to leave the windows open at home 🏡 but I’m certainly going to walk 🚶 during my lunch break. Going to be windy by mid afternoon and the temperature will drop a bit but the air is expected to be pretty dry. I got the email from the national weather service office today about the Red Flag 🚩 Warning ⚠ due to the high fire 🔥 risk that is common in the spring time. I guess if you burning stuff up in the woods, like having a campfire, you should be careful,.
This afternoon after work I’m heading over to John Wolcott’s house to continue sorting his historical files 📂. Probably stay until around dusk 🌆 and catch the 7:30 bus 🚍 home. No more late nights or session this week at work. The legislators all booked out of town yesterday. I packed some Save the Pine Bush Dinner lasagna 🍛to heat up and eat before leaving work tonight. Seems like a fitting thing.
The sun will set at 7:23 pm with dusk around 7:52 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 53 degrees.

Yesterday morning was crazy 😜 too as the bus was packed with exchange students heading downtown and I had some client issues to address over the phone 📱 on the bus. The evening commute – I got out a five – was much easier. Fairly smooth commute home, not too much traffic. Not quite nice enough though yesterday to go down tot he park.
Yesterday after work I went down to the library for an hour to work on the blog and a few other things. 📝 Been really busy at work, I’ve not had the time to even briefly update ☑ my blog from time to time on my phone. I skipped my evening walk 🚶 because I was tired. I did however ride the bike 🚲 for a while but stopped as I don’t have any more interesting YouTube videos that I’ve downloaded.
Sunday looks like the best day of the weekend, although maybe not for fishing as it will be quite sunny 🎣. Saturday, rain likely before 8am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 59.

Typical average high for the weekend is 54 degrees.
No camping ⛺ this weekend as I’m going to my niece’s three year old birthday 🎂 party on Saturday but Sunday sure looks nice, although maybe too sunny for good trout fishing. Maybe early morning or evening in a deeper valley? I don’t know. I do need to get some night crawlers for sure. 🐛 A nice hike would be good too.🚶 The following week I should go to the transfer station and then start loading my camping gear back in the truck. Still hoping for decent weather for the Easter holiday weekend. 🐰
