Good evening! Mostly clear and 79 degrees in Delmar. Calm wind. The dew point is 67 degrees. The muggy weather ends Sunday around 11 pm. 😓

Definitely a really muggy evening tonight, sitting out back next to the fan with a cold glass of orange juice. 🍊 I have the firefly light running, lots of stars above and the moon has only recently set below the tree line out back here.

I went to Stewart’s and picked up some milk so I’ll have it with the cold coffee in my refrigerator in the morning.☕ Not leaving the coffee on my stove any more as I think the coffee in the heat may get mildewy and it’s better cold at any rate.

Picked up my contacts today but my glasses weren’t in yet. 👓 Well that sucks, I’ll have to make another trip but I think they are open on Saturdays and late one night or another to pick them up. Maybe I can get a bus up there one night when they come in and just pick them up. At least I have the contacts. I’m surprised they didn’t give me a free contact container or solution sample this time. Maybe I didn’t wait enough, but I was annoyed that I was going to have to come back for the glasses.

I ended up going down to the library and working on several memos and other things for work. 📚 Time went by quickly at the library but it was well air conditioning now that they fixed their new unit, and they had internet for which I lack at home.

With the heat and humidity, mildew has become a problem again both in the kitchen and the bathroom of my apartment. 🚿 Got the bleach out and scrubbed things down good. Its always been a problem the eleven years I’ve rented the unit, but I like the location as there is so much I can walk to nearby without dealing with the winos and pick pockets they have in the city. 👺Maybe air conditioning would help but that’s not a technology I believe in. I’d rather just sit out back on a hot old August night like tonight.

Right now, I’m not sure what to think about the weekend. 😕 Saturday, a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Cloudy, with a high near 79. Northwest wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Maximum dew point of 68 at 7am. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Maximum dew point of 62 at 1pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 80 degrees.

I think I will take it by ear, and decide on Saturday morning if I want to head out of town. ⛺ If I do head out I’ll probably not go too far but I want to enjoy my remaining summer before it’s gone. If I stay in town, maybe I’ll finally build a board with the voltage regulator to use my ESP32 Module I bought in the spring. But I don’t know, I think I’d rather have a nice night in the wilderness especially if Sunday looks nice
