Well offically at least, though in a few hours it will really feel like it with the muggers returning, assaulting you as soon as you step outside of a non air conditioned building. And I’ll be like I’m morally superior for not having air conditioning at home while working in an air conditioned office all day and taking my big jacked up well air conditioned truck to the Adirondacks I camp every time it gets truly hot out.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Mostly cloudy and 61 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 57 degrees. The skies will clear Sunday around 10 am.

Feeling good this morning as I got to bed 🛏 by 8 pm last night. It feels werid going to bed with the sun still being up but lately I’ve been getting deprived of sleep as I’m often up at the five o’clock hour and many nights I’m up pushing ten o’clock as it’s not real dark until 9 pm and I’m out walking 🚶.

Oatmeal 🥣 this morning with fruit but I’ll also add a spoonful 🥄 of Greek yogurt and some white beans to boost fiber and protein levels to avoid the blood sugar crash mid morning and the cravings to eat more food. Plus I’m trying to use up the white beans so I can cook up the red kidney beans over the weekend as they are so good with a little bit of maple syrup or mashed and cooked with eggs. 🥚

Today will have isolated showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 81 degrees at 3pm. Typical for today. The muggers are expected as the day continues. Maximum dew point of 68 at 6pm. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 73 degrees. The record high of 96 was set in 1888.

Going to be hot and humid by afternoon but I’m ready for it. 😰 Worse comes to worse I’ll delay my evening walk and can do laps in the Plaza at lunchtime. I’ll have to get my big fan ⚛️ out of my crawl space but that’s fine as I have to put away my Big Buddy heater and the screen tent. 🎪 Summer returns again.

Got a co-payment bill for my blood 🆎 work after my physical a few weeks back. I guess I expected that $25 fee but it’s just a reminder that your free yearly health screening isn’t just that. So much of the medical industry is rather scammy, they don’t tell you much as they assault you with paperwork. Being able to study the online health records though is nice. 🔎 All my numbers are very good, especially sodium levels, cholesterol LDL to HDL though some might be I’m still relatively young, eat a pfairly good diet and have lost quire a bit of weight. 🏋️ Blood sugar was in the normal range but slightly elevated as I eat breakfast before the blood draw. White blood cells was a bit low but it might have been the sample due to delay noted in processing but the actual infection fighting components were good. Honestly at this point my goal 🥅 is to avoid doctors 🧑‍⚕️🏥 as much as possible.

Tonight we are looking at scattered showers and thunderstorms. 🌩 Mostly cloudy, with a low around 66. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Sunset will be around 8:38 PM, one of the latest for the year. 🌆 Muggy with dew points in the heading up to the upper 60s by afternoon.

This evening probably after walking 🛒 I should probably go to the grocery store although I could wait if I am going to see John tomorrow. I emailed 📧 Linda and haven’t heard back but I could stock up at Market 32 after visiting them and the Albany Pine Bush. 🌲🌲I kind of do want to get a scale tough at Walmart so I can better monitor my weight. Also I need some more under shirts as I’m pretty much out of clean ones and I would like to have XL sized ones that fit better.

Saturday it looks like showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80.  🌦 South wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Maybe not the nicest Saturday ever but we could use the rain. Muggy still with dewpoints pushing 70 at times.

I am hoping to get a bicycle tomorrow, 🚲 as I want to start to biking back and forth to work, as many days as possible both for health and saving money. Plus being able to get around town better. I was thinking some days I could bike out to Five Rivers before work, then take the rail trail downtown from there. I just keep putting this off but I really should bite the bullet tomorrow if there is a bike I like.

Sunday will have scattered showers before 11am, then scattered showers and thunderstorms between 11am and 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 83.  🌦 South wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Not as wet, with rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
