May 14, 2018 Morning
Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. I think that should be an impeachable offense. DΓ©jΓ Β Moo, the feeling I’ve seen this bull before.Β Two weeks to Memorial Day πΊπΈ. Coming fast. Mostly cloudy and 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. β There is a south breeze at 6 mph. π. The dew point is 48 degrees. The skies will clear around 11 am.
Today will be partly sunny π , with a high of 75 degrees at 3pm. Once the sun comes out, it will be quite nice. I know I will be walking outside to the Capitol to get fresh air later on.Β Six degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 55 at 4pm. Southwest wind around 7 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 60 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1900.
The sun will set at 8:10 pm with dusk around 8:42 pm, which is one minute and 3 seconds later than yesterday. π At sunset, look for partly clear skies and 68 degrees. The dew point will be 56 degrees. Definitely if I get out of work this evening early enough I’ll go down to the park. Otherwise I might There will be a south-southwest breeze at 7 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 37 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 5 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will have a slight chance of showers after 1am. Mostly cloudy β, with a low of 59 degrees at 3am. 12 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 59 at 6am. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2017, we had light rain in the evening with a few breaks in clouds by early morning. It got down to 50 degrees. The record low of 31 occurred back in 1977.
Frozen cherries on waffles is a nice change.π I like blueberries but this is a nice change. I found a big bag yesterday at Hannaford. I also have some bananas that are rapidly going bad that I should use for breakfast soon. I also bought generic ChexΒ π² for a snack but I might have that for breakfast too in the next few weeks.
Did some more cleaning. It seems like I’m always tracking mud in my apartment and spilling shit. I hate carpet.Β I still like the idea, half seriously of having a gutter track like a barn to shovel all the crap into. π©Β Or at least tile or hardwood floors. And much less of a vapor barrier leakage and mildew problem like my apartment. And a fire pit or burn barrel to burn all the junk up.π₯
Picked up my dry cleaning. I have to admit my second jacket that I’ve been wearing since I dropped the other one off is starting to wear out.Β π΄I think it’s almost ten years old now.Β Been a good jacket that I’ve worn for years but threads are starting to look warm and some of the fabric looks like it got too hot when cleaned at some point.Β Maybe next year I’ll buy a new jacket. And shoes.
Big Red seems fine. It drives perfectly fine so I’m thinking I was just noticing the ordinary sway on State Street last night. I was tired and I may have noticed the shitty pavement more then usual. I’ve been playing with it, cornering hard a few times, parallel parking it, and driving it around with the windows down and it’s handling normally with no noises or evidence of problems.πΒ I inspected the components and looked for things loose. None noticed. It’s something I’ll keep a watch on. When I mount the solar panel I’m the truck cap I want to try some rough roads at any rate to confirm its mounted tightly. I’ll look for handling issues there. I don’t want to get stranded but I also don’t want to spend money until I have a dang good reason to do so.
Want to pick up some more groceries after work. I forgot to buy dish soap, laundry detergent and cheese. π§That’s fine I’ll go past a supermarket in the evening as I have to drive home from the park and ride.π
Tired didn’t get to bed until after 11. Slept into 7:30 but still was a long weekend stuck in the office. I should have gotten to bed earlier but so be it. I think it will be a fairly quiet day at work and hopefully I won’t be stuck in the office too late.π΄
Still thinking of taking Thursday and Friday off. I just want to take some time to get away from work after all these long days at work. πAnd maybe work on hooking up the solar panel. I’m thinking it will be fairly quiet the second half of the week so I should be able to get those days off. Memorial Day Weekend people have already taken off those days.
Most of this week looks to be cloudy.Β βSome sun this afternoon maybe, but I’m not looking forward to much blue skies. That’s why I’m not sure how nice the weekend will be. But it would be nice to get away if the weekend is decent, otherwise we are already butting up against Memorial Day Weekend.
Schoharie for the weekend?Β If the weather is nice I’m thinking about heading out there, doing some hiking in the Northern Catskills.πΆΒ Then maybe the cliffs of Middleburg and Vromans Nose.π I don’t know if there is much at the farm stands at this point, but Schoharie is always a nice drive. Look forward to Mine Kill pool open in a little over a month.πΒ Maybe do some fishing in the Schoharie Creek and camp at Burnt-Rossman Hills. I’ve heard they’ve renovated Betty Brook Road over the past year.
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Memorial Day πΊπΈ when the sun will be setting at 8:23 pm with dusk at 8:57 pm. On that day in 2017, we had cloudy skies and temperatures between 74 and 60 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 73 degrees. We hit a record high of 93 back in 2016.
