Good morning! Monday’s come back around again for this first week of May. 🌷 Not going to be a real nice week but we are getting caught up on the rain ☔. Two weeks to Average High is 70 🐮. Mostly cloudy and 51 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 49 degrees. The skies will clear Thursday around 2 am.

Not a terrible morning, 🥞 had a nice breakfast with pancakes and lots of frozen pineapple. Out for my morning walk now. 😷 Its nice that being fully vaccinated 💉 that I don’t have to wear my muzzle any more outdoors. Yes, I’m aware that means life returning back closer to normal although truth be told, I think the world has changed.

Finally got my shorts and t-shirts out yesterday. 👕 Mainly because I was running low on clothes, but also because it’s finally got warm enough to be a bit more comfortable and save on the amount of wash I have. 🚿 I am looking forward to the nicer weather, although not so much the really hot weather of summer, although I expect I will be working in office more in coming weeks, and I’ll have to try to plan my weeks so I’m in the office on the really sweltering days. 🏢

Yesterday, I went out for a walk at Papscannane Island Nature Preserve 🐦 and saw a lot of birds. I like going down to the river that way. It’s not too far from home. This time I didn’t go to Aldis 🏪 mainly because I needed some supplies from Walmart, so that’s where I ended up shopping. 🍓 Got lots of good frozen fruit for my pancakes and shit. Didn’t have any last week, as I didn’t get any before going camping as you can’t really have frozen things up at camp. 🍽 Then I went out to the folks house for dinner.

Last night, in five seconds the dog last night shredded my freebee ball cap I got from work. 🧢 I wasn’t happy about that. Then he had my camera bag and camera in his mouth, but I pulled it out of that and yelled at him. 😠 What an ass. 🐶 People ask why I hate pets so much — mainly because you can’t eat them and they are dead weight. It was kind of a nice hat but I think I will have to get a Carhartt one at Tractor Supply.

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after 3pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 63 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 27th.

Partly sunny, with a high near 61. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 42 at 7pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 67 degrees. Not sure if I am going to get out of town this weekend. 🏡 I’ve been thinking about a Central NY trip, as there won’t be the black flies there but maybe not this weekend.

Been thinking about reducing my data plan down, 📱 now that I am going to be working downtown more. 🏢 I was going to fully get rid of the 20 gb hot spot and unlimited mobile data come the expiration I three weeks with the nicer weather, the library fully reopening and work returning to full time downtown. Not sure if all those things will be true by then, I will revalue as time draws nearer. One option I’m considering is to save ten or 12 bucks by going to the 10 gb Hotspot plan with the unlimited mobile. I’m just not sure if Zoom is going away tomorrow.

Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until the average high is 70, and it’s Pack Rat Day 🐀 when the sun will be setting at 8:13 pm with dusk at 8:45 pm. Good day for a bonfire, get rid of all that accumulated burnable junk — the burn ban will be over, so get your big bonfire on. 🔥 Hot enough fire, that plastic crap doesn’t smell one bit. You didn’t hear that from me, I’m totally blaming the TikTok. 📼 On that day in 2020, we had mostly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 74 and 54 degrees. We hit a record high of 92 back in 2017.
