Weather Update – September 29, 2021

There is a noticeable uptick in trucks hauling nitrogen lately 🍏

That’s a sign of autumn as apple orchards are big users of nitrogen to store apples for the coming year as they are harvested for the year. 🍎 Hopefully there isn’t the big shortages this year caused by COVID patients but I’m sure apple growers are still paying through the nose 👃. Already dairies, especially in the high country are in full out chop mode for silage 🌽 and the fantastic smells that represents 🐮 except when they are cleaning out old bunks and get into the real fermented stuff. 💩

Should be an absolutely beautiful autumn day 🍂 after a bit of a cold start this morning, not a cloud in the sky. The leaves are just starting to turn in Delmar. The silly political lawn signs are out. I actually don’t get why people get so excited about politics, I think it’s better to focus on improving your own life rather than your community. 👥 Live in a place that suits your values and beliefs.

I am thinking about taking Friday off to go to the Adirondacks and hike Pillsbury Mountain ⛰ although I’m watching that forecast on Sunday. But right now it looks like it could be a very nice weekend. 🍂

Good Morning – September 29, 2021

|

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. 🐪

I woke up this morning and my bedroom was cold. First time in a long time, not used to it being so cool in the morning. I guess that always happens this time of year. I heard it was National Coffee Day, and like most morning I partake with a good amount of milk in my freshly made peculator coffee. ☕

Mostly sunny and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ Calm wind. Chilly start to the morning!

I’ve gotten used to taking the express bus 🚍 so quickly, not rushing out of bed for the morning walk 🚶. I still end up getting my 10,000 steps in between the walk to and from the park and ride, along with my evening walk as long as I walk around a bit during my lunch break. It’s good because the mornings are so dark these days. 🌅

The express bus is lightly trafficked these days 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 the riders from Voorheesville were mostly older and have since retired or moved on to other jobs and ways of commuting since the pandemic. Time marches on, I’m glad they have the express bus stop 🚏 but I wonder if its sustainable with such relatively low ridership. The local is fine but I prefer the express.

With the early bus, I get in pretty early, so I am thinking on nice mornings like this I might walk laps around the Plaza Roadway 🚶‍♀️ and get some more steps in, maybe enjoy the sunshine before work. I do kind of miss my old morning walk, but the express bus sure is nice to catch in the morning, without the craziness of city traffic.

It looks like I can’t schedule my appoint for the tires more then two weeks out, ⚫ but if I decide to go with Mavis Discount Tire, then they can get the tires shipped to them and installed in three days, but I will schedule sooner then that. American Auto Glass seemed to have a fairly similar schedule. Also considering Tire Rack, the online retailer, which would offer the most choices, although they don’t have the Nitto Tires I like. But if I go with Mavis, my only choice is the BFGs, which I don’t think are great tires, but they are the more affordable option, and my truck is getting old, so they should last the length of the truck.

I think my trip to West Viriginia is still on for the end of the October, probably through Election Day. 🗳 I’ll have to make sure that I early vote, assuming it’s not too crazy the first week. 🍁 The leaves will be gone from the higher elevations — like Canaan Heights — but it still should be quite nice to get away for a week. ⛺ I haven’t taken those days off yet, but I don’t anticipate they will be difficult to get off due to being the time of year it is.
