Good morning! Happy Last Day of Session 🏛! Or so the sign in my bedroom says which is only as intelligent as my programming makes it. I wonder what happens when the session countdown rolls over tomorrow, ⏳I doubt it will cause a buffer overflow and crash but it might roll over and display a random value for days remaining.

Cloudy, muggy and 67 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 63 degrees. Hello muggy weather, welcome back to Albany. Please don’t delay on your departure. That’s a reference to the humidity to be clear. 😂 The skies will clear Friday around 3 pm. Less humid for the weekend or so I’m told.

Yesterday was a long day at work. 🏢 Got in at nine, left at eleven pm. In the evening I did run home and get Big Red and I was able to drive home right at eleven and be in bed by 11:30 after finishing off the bottle of Finger Lakes wine 🍷 that I got from Finger Lakes wino day at the well of the LOB. I’m not much of wine drinking redneck but it was free alcohol. I just hate how much room those bottles take up in the recycling bin as that means eventually another trip to the transfer station. ♻ Discovered that I had spilled stuff on my jacket this morning after I got on the bus 🚍 but I have another jacket in the office to wear over at session. 👔Nine am session so I took the early bus into the city.

New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 83 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 1995.

A picture perfect weekend to kick off our summer. 😎 What a refreshing change? Saturday, sunny, with a high near 76. Maximum dew point of 52 at 8pm. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 81. Maximum dew point of 58 at 8pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 80 degrees. Might even be a bit cold for swimming 🏊?

I would like to get up to the Adirondacks ⛺ but at this point I don’t think it’s a realistic option. I’m just not going to get packed and ready for the weekend. But an overnight trip to Schoharie and the Mine Kill pool with some fishing 🎣 and day hiking is a good alternative.

Looking ahead, there are 8 weeks until Altamont Fair Opens 🎡 when the sun will be setting at 7:58 pm with dusk at 8:28 pm. On that day in 2018, we had humid, partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 85 and 71 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 81 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1988.
