Good evening! Light rain and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 52 degrees. The skies will clear Sunday around 11 pm. Just for the end of the weekend.

I got home, had dinner and rode the exercise bike for a while 🚲, almost an hour and a half. I rode while listening to Marketplace through my laptop and the radio adapter, then I watched a YouTube video I had downloaded on orienteering with a compass. For a lot of people that’s quaint with cellphone GPS 🌐 but I know most of the time I’m in the woods I use paper maps and just use visible landmarks to orient myself although sometimes I’ll use the compass but that’s rare. I went for my evening walk 🚶 and it started to rain 💦which meant I got wet on my way home. Then I retired to bed and read 📖 for a while. I’m tired 😴 and going to sleep shortly.
