Good afternoon! Sunny and 77 degrees at the Bennett Hill Preserve. 🌞 There is a north breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 45 degrees.

Earlier today I participated in the National Trails Day event at Holt Preserve. 😊Now I’m hiking Bennett Hill on this beautiful but maybe a bit cool day for swimming day in June. 🏊 After working on the trails I went straight home and washed off with lots of soap 🚿 in hopes of avoiding getting poison ivy.

Tonight will be clear 🌃, with a low of 52 degrees at 5am. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 1st. Maximum dew point of 46 at 6am. North wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 37 occurred back in 1977.

The sun will set at 8:31 pm with dusk around 9:06 pm, which is 36 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 68 degrees. There will be a north breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 13 minutes of daytime, an increase of 50 seconds over yesterday.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 81 degrees at 4pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 26th. Maximum dew point of 53 at 4pm. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 100 was set in 1933.

On this day in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy’s funeral takes place at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. 😔 Certainly a very different time back then.

I got the replacement hammock in the mail. It didnt come with straps so I’m using the straps from the other hammock. Seems fairly similar in construction but a third of the price. I’ll see how it works out. 😴

Fixed the display errors I sometimes get at home by resetting the microprocessor every full loop of the messages. ➿Seems to do the trick, simple enough, just one line of code. It could be a loose connection but I think it might also just be random glitches in the code.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Average High is 80 🏖 when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:12 pm. On that day in 2018, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 81 and 50 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 80 degrees. We hit a record high of 95 back in 1954.
