Andy | May 5, 2022

Attention black flies, warm and sunny weather ☀

The real heat doesn’t occur until next week but they will be waking in mass over the coming weeks at least in the Adirondacks and Greens. But it should be nice locally. I should put away the heated blanket and the electric space heater and get the big fan out of crawl space. And make sure I have ice cubes in the freezer to freshen my drinks. Some point I’ll have to get my inner tube out of attic and reinflate it but that’s a few days off before I’ll be using that.

Daily Update – May 5, 2022

Good morning! Happy Cinco de Mayo that Mexican beer company wants you to know 🇲🇽

LOL I know what today’s demographic map of the day should be. Burritos 🌯 and beer 🍻 are so good but have you seen the price of ground beef lately? Not cheap. I still remember when I was working remote and burned a hole in my brand new screen tent. Summer 2020, good times during the pandemic.

Mostly cloudy and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 7 morningam.

Out walking 🚶 at six thirty this morning again before breakfast 🥣. The earlier start means a lot less traffic and smelly smoking cars parked around the High School 🚸. People forget how nasty and polluting cars are until you have to walk past them idling in the morning. Plus with that heat wave building its going to be the best time to walk next week.

Yesterday alternated between busy and quiet at work. 🏢 Got home at quarter to seven which in the grand scheme of things isn’t that bad. Today through the weekend I expect will be much busier at work but I should be able to work remotely on Saturday. 💻 Sunday I’ll be at the Save the Pine Bush booth at the tulip 🌷 festival.

Since adding the step tracking app to my phone, I’ve boosted my monthly step counts by nearly 33% 👣

Since adding the step tracking app to my phone, I’ve boosted my monthly step counts by nearly 33% 👣

It turns out that having set goals, measuring them and watching them every day really does improve one’s effort towards a goal. Walking may not make me thin, but it does feel good and is important to maintaining good health. Not only does it get my legs moving, it also keeps my mind sharp and gets me out of the hose every morning and evening enjoying the seasons and nature.

The 10,000 step per day goal is not above and beyond what the internet doctors recommend, but it does feel like a reasonable compromise between all things. But surprisingly until I started counting them I didn’t really have a good idea of how many steps I was doing every day. And now with that step counter, counting every day, I feel all the more important to get in my 10,000 steps. Any day I can’t get the record of at least 10,000 steps I feel like I’ve failed, so it’s a powerful motivation to get out and walk more each day.

Amazing the power of just a silly number.
