Weather Update – August 5, 2021
Still chewing over the weekend, but it seems like summer weather returns tomorrow… 🏖
I mean I really have the time that I could take off this weekend for Monday but I’m not happy with the amount of clouds ☁️ expected for Saturday. The clouds suggest that it would be a better day to catch the Nature Bus 🐸 to Thacher Park. But only a few more days that the swimming pool at Mine Kill will be open before Labor Day. Certainly the Nature Bus option would be more budget friendly.
My fear is that this summer will end much like that legendary summer of 1953, in other words ungodly hot. ☀ I really don’t want to be within 50 miles of Albany if the temperatures hit the triple digits as I don’t have air conditioning. I am just watching as that high pressure strengthens, and noting the record highs they’ve had out west this year.

Good Morning – August 5, 2021
Good morning on this Thursday! Happy Work Like a Dog Day 🐩 !
LOL 😂 It’s the dog 🐶 days of summer, about the only thing I’m going to be doing is doing like a dog dog is lapping up cold beer 🍻 and I don’t drink at home any more.
Mostly cloudy and 61 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 59 degrees. Another cool morning before the heat builds back in. Summer returns soon, or so I’m a told.
Out for the morning walk 🚶🏻. Not sure if I will keep doing the morning walk if the express bus stop 🚏 returns at the Park and Ride, as then many days a week I’ll be walking down there plus come September into October the mornings are much darker. But I like the exercise and the Park and Ride walk is only about a mile.
That said, I noticed my balance is dropping on my bus card 💳 and I’m going to have to refill that soon, as it’s getting down there and I don’t want to run out of money on it. Maybe today. Still haven’t been able to fix the auto fill but at least now the buses tell you how much fare remains after boarding.
