I bet the teats on that camel in Vermont is cold this morning 🐪

Maybe it’s just a heavy dew this morning but boy is it cold. Suns a rising quickly but it was hard to get out of bed with the cold.

Good morning! What day is it? A Frosty Hump Day, of course. Mostly clear and 32 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 Calm wind.

Hopefully this Wednesday won’t have a fast let down like like a camel has. 🥛 Regardless I’m moving but not that quick, as I do my morning walk 🚶. 8.2 miles walked yesterday.

Today will have a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 4pm. Increasing clouds 🌞, with a high of 58 degrees at 2pm.

I can’t believe how cold ❄ it’s been lately. My office 🏢 felt cold yesterday and I have had to wear my hoodie both for my morning and evening walks. Maybe I was spoiled after those 80 degrees days earlier in April. El Nino is coming this summer 🏖 so they’re predicting a hot one. I just want my hot coffee ☕ when I get back inside.

Yesterday evening the Voorheesville bus 🚍 never came. I waited and waited assuming it was running late like the other five riders, some going to Voorheesville but it never came. Ended up waiting and taking the local home. 🚏 Then I gave the riders parked at the Elm Ave Park and Ride a ride over in my big jacked up truck. 🛻 And of course the local was running late too so I didn’t end up having dinner until 6:45 and I was hungry.
