Good morning! Vacation has come around Monday’s come back around again. Wednesday morning I get my teeth cleaned. Next Monday is Work Like a Dog Day 🐩. Although because I’ve been gone for a week I wouldn’t be surprised if this week will be a work like a dog day. 🐶 Partly sunny ☀ and 72 degrees at the Valero. Calm wind. The dew point is 67 degrees. We have a big stretch of hot and humid weather coming up this week. The muggy weather ends Thursday around 11 am. 😓

So it’s back to work today, 💼 which is good because work buys beer, guns, ammunition and all things fun including eventually owning my own where I can have fires 🔥 ride four wheelers, shoot guns 🔫 and drink beer every night. 🍻 They sure like their fires in Western Pennsylvania redneck country. It’s a good life. I do wish I spent more time in Allegany County NY and Pennsylvania on vacation. Oil country has a distinctive smell from the crude oil to the cow manure and silage to good old fashioned smoldering trash burn barrels.

Today will have isolated showers and thunderstorms after 1pm as it’s going to be hot and humid. ⚡ Otherwise sunny 🌞, with a high of 89 degrees at 4pm. Seven degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 70 at 11am. Southwest wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 81 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1894.

This evening it’s back to the routine – of working on the Save the Pine Bush project 🌲and then Thursday night its over to John Wolcott house. 📰📑🔎. I also have to go shopping for supplies, especially toilet paper 🚽 and maybe some food. I might also have to replace my headphones 🎧which are finally starting to fall apart after like eight months of heavy use. I’m tough on shit like that.

The sun will set at 8:18 pm with dusk around 8:50 pm, which is one minute and 5 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, watch out for thunderstorms 🌩 and temperatures around 80 degrees. The dew point will be 69 degrees. There will be a southwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 33 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 6 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have isolated showers and thunderstorms before 9pm. Partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 70 degrees at 3am. Eight degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 69 at 8pm. South wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1968.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Maximum dew point of 66 at 4pm. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 85. Maximum dew point of 64 at 11am. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees.

I am leaning towards going up to the Potholers and Piseco Powley Road this weekend. ⛺ Suprisingly enough I haven’t been up there yet this year. It looks like it will be a hot and sunny summer weekend and there is no guarantee that there are an unlimited amount of them left before autumn rolls around. I mean in a month, the sun will be setting at around 7:30 and the average high will be in the upper 70s.

As previously noted, next Monday is Work Like a Dog Day 🐩 when the sun will be setting at 8:10 pm with dusk at 8:41 pm. On that day in 2018, we had hot, humid, sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 90 and 63 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 82 degrees. We hit a record high of 99 back in 1955.
