Weather Update – August 15, 2022
I think hope of the drought ending soon isn’t in this week’s forecast 🤔
At least not so hot this week with ample sunshine. Maybe it’s a chance to get better at getting my steps in every day. I just feel better, less achy and more energetic when I walk.
It looks like it will be a decent weekend to get out of town, maybe the last chance to spend a Saturday totally off the grid until November. No emails or work one day would be nice.
Labor Day Weekend I might head up to the Spectulator area but it would be a working trip as I’m sure I’ll be busy. Might want to hike up Pillsbury Mountain Labor Day Saturday after dark to see the fire towers all lit up.
Looking below at the chart, you can see how much daylight we are losing in the plunge. But as God takes away, come April and May he will bring it back along with a ton of black flies.

Daily Update – August 15, 2022
Good morning! The second half of August come back around again. 🌻
How fast the seasons come and go. As did the weekend. But I’m hoping to get out of town this weekend and I might take off Friday.
Partly sunny and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 Calm wind. The dew point is 53 degrees.
A nice cool start to the morning. 😁 I though there was going to be clouds and rain showers this morning but I was wrong about that. Out for my morning walk 🚶 at six am which is the best way to assure me that I get my steps 👣 in. Since vacation I’ve been averaging 11k or 12k a day over the week but it’s not been every day like I was doing back in June.
Yesterday I did an evening 🌃 hike up Bennett Hill after Sunday dinner at the folks house 👪. Very clear evening but it got dark quickly. The 9:15 pm dusk 🌆 is all but a memory now. In a few weeks even the morning walk 🚶 at six o’clock will need to be postponed until the time change in eleven weeks unless I want to walk in darkness in the morning.
Besides getting milk ☕ for my coffee I really should get to the store 🏬 and get groceries and wash my truck. 🛻 While Red will get dusty heading out of town on Friday I’d rather wash him down and get any caked on mud off, which I should have done last week but I was busy.
