Always happens this way. Too bad it’s too early in the year that swimming pools aren’t open and I’m stuck in town with work, gas prices, and everything else going on. Black flies are bad up north and thunderstorms are expected later. I guess I could slap the kayak on my truck and go for a paddle on the Hudson River, but I don’t like dealing with tides, and that costs money with gas and everything being so expensive these days.

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Going to be the first hot summer day of the summer. 😎
Already starting to get to be a real hot day with lots of humidity. With gas prices and thunderstorms expected later I don’t think I will drive anywhere, though I’m thinking of packing some water and heading out to Five Rivers later. I don’t expect to see much wildlife, but I like to get my steps in.
Partly sunny and 75 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 64 degrees.
In some ways this week turned out nicer weather-wise then expected 🌤 but it is a lot more muggy then I would have guessed by earlier predictions. But I am enjoying sitting by the fan at home, experimenting with some new ways process GIS data in R. I really enjoy working with the rich functions with good defaults in R — lately I’ve been switching much of my legacy PHP and Python code over to R. 💻Hadley Wickman really is a super brilliant person and his contributions to the tidyverse just make it the perfect tool to do so much with data.
I should go out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center before the thunderstorms ⛈️ but it’s hot and I like sitting by the fan. I like walking 🚶 and getting my steps in and I just don’t want to burn gas ⛽ with fuel prices these days. It would be nice to make it to June without having gased up since before my April trip to the Adirondacks. 🅿 I haven’t started my truck since last Sunday, saves fuel when it’s not running.
Yesterday being Friday the 13th, 💵 I decided against investing my tax refund. The responsible thing would be to get more bonds but I sure like chasing those returns that stocks produce, even though I fully expect markets to drop significantly over the next few months. But I doubt any losses are permanent and I’m in for the long haul. And if some of the losses become permanent the gains over the past decade will all but make up for it.
It always hits you how hot and muggy summers are 😰, although I’m sure some of it is being spoiled from the air conditioning office 🏢 downtown. Past two years it was a lot of hot and sweaty days working out of my truck at the library 📚. I could go to the library today and work inside to beat the heat but ever since the pandemic it’s not the same. Not sure if the muzzles 😷 are still required at the library though if I was walking around there I would probably wear mine.
