Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 61 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 41 degrees. The skies will clear around 10 pm. I’ve been watching the humidity meter this evening in my bedroom and it’s been creeping up. Only a few hours ago dew points where in the 30s.

I got most of my gear packed for camping this weekend. ⛺ The great debate between the Greens and the Adirondacks continue but the only difference really is if I bring worms and they my fishing 🎣 pole. If I do go to Vermont I want to camp somewhere more remote where I can listen to music without bothering the neighbors. Vermont I would probably hike down to Lye Brook Falls and maybe Stratton Mountain. Adirondacks I’d probably hike back to Simease Ponds although thats a pretty long hike. Also considering going up to Thirteenth Lake and hiking back to Hour Pond. Lots of options. Built a new hose to make it easier to fill my water tanks with less spillage from the bathroom sink. That’s good because I’ve been doing it in the kitchen since the landlord removed the tub faucet and that’s been a pain.

I made some edits to the code for my VMS display in my bedroom. 📟 It now pulls from both the clock chip and humidity sensor for calculating the indoor temperature for greater accuracy and uses a decimal value. It also resets the high and low temperature at midnight each day. It’s fun to monitor the indoor temperature, dewpoint and humidity, especially now with the windows open. ⬛My next step is to hook up the outside temperature sensor which mostly just requires me to figure out how to sneak the wires outside and position the sensor for an accurate estimate, especially in the winter when the windows are closed.⬜
