8-14 Day Outlook โ€“ Wednesday January 19

Maybe the 8-14 day outlook is a sign the Ground Hog will see his shadow? ๐Ÿป

Certainly it seems like the thermostat will be stuck on the coldest position for the next few weeks in the Albany-area. But it is January. Unusual that we get so much cold weather in Albany, especially with the climate warming so much these days.

Weather Update โ€“ January 19, 2022

Cold but sunny ๐ŸŒž after today

Maybe early March weather today but by evening the mercury will feel colder because of the wind. Then it just looks like a lot of cold but not much snow for the foreseeable future. Looks like another cold weekend, might be okay for a hike out to Five Rivers if I bundle up but probably not much more.

Voters shift to preferring Republicans over Democrats : NPR

Gallup: Voters shift to preferring Republicans over Democrats : NPR

A new Gallup analysis examined how Americans' partisan preferences shifted over the course of the year 2021, with findings that indicate momentum for Republicans heading into this midterm election year.

Gallup found that Americans' partisan preferences were relatively stable when looking at the entire year 2021. But when the year was broken down into quarters, there was a discernible shift. In the first quarter of 2021, Democrats had a 9-point advantage over Republicans, but by the final quarter of the year that had shifted sharply to a 5-point Republican advantage, according to Gallup's aggregate data.

 

Good Morning โ€“ January 19, 2022

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

Mostly cloudy and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There are 5 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at around 11 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

It looks like we will get a break from the cold โ„ today, so I turned down the heat. Iโ€™ll probably want it back up tomorrow or certainly Friday but itโ€™s going to be 38 later so best to give it a break. I wasnโ€™t happy with my electric bill last month, โ™จ so Iโ€™m trying to keep the heat down on warmer days. Iโ€™ve tried to plug air leaks in my apartment anyway I can but itโ€™s just falling apart โ€“ energy prices are going up. I canโ€™t wait until I own my own land and can heat with wood.

Got to bed early last night ๐Ÿ› at little after eight 8โƒฃ and my evening walk ๐Ÿšถ. I was up around 5:30 this morning, had an early breakfast and soon Iโ€™ll iron my shirt ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผand shower ๐Ÿšฟ. Taking the local in as itโ€™s a dress up day for work. ๐Ÿš Tomorrow is my teeth cleaning before work.

Ordered my taxpayer funded Biden Care Test Kit yesterday, ๐Ÿ˜ท and Iโ€™ll believe it when it arrives although i figure it probably wonโ€™t work or when it comes it will be after the pandemic is over. But it was free and itโ€™s paper and plastic, and if it doesnโ€™t work out it will be a good fire starter. ๐Ÿ”ฅ I figure itโ€™s good to have an expired test kit handy for next winter to see if I have the COVID and need to go to an official testing site so I can charge against pandemic leave, assuming such things exist next year. ๐Ÿ™„

Yesterday was pay day ๐Ÿ’ฐ and itโ€™s nice making the big bucks until it goes out the door the next day. ๐Ÿ’ธ I tell you with the prices of everything these days, money just doesnโ€™t last long. But then again I keep trying to save and invest money so some day I can own my own land, have that hobby farm, off grid property etc.

Now that Iโ€™m making decent money โ€“ if I consider unrealized investment gains and dividends โ€“ itโ€™s well over six digits each year its finally a chance to get ahead financially. ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Some people want a fancy house, Iโ€™d rather have a rundown, simple place with lots of acerage where I can have fires, livestock, shoot guns and ride four wheelers.
