Good evening! Rain and 67 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 62 degrees. For a while it was really pouring this evening. Seems like we will get a good inch or two out of this storm. I’m sure the farmers will love that. 🚜 The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

I picked up Big Red and he has had his oil changed and tires rotated. 🚘 It needed to be done, not a big deal, fairly convient with the buses downtown. Did not get soaked walking up Wolf Road as the heaviest rain held off until I got home. Made some pasta for dinner, been feeling a bit congested with a migraine again this evening. I think I’m allergic to Mondays. 😧I probably should have ridden the exercise bike or worked on other projects but I didn’t feel that great.

Tomorrow is the work picnic 🍔 assuming I’m not stuck in the office until late. 🏢 It might be a nice night for the picnic but I do expect a long day tomorrow with Green Light 🚦 expected to pass the assembly tomorrow. Free hot dogs and beer always are good. I’ll walk back and catch the 13 to the 18 at Lark and go home rather than driving. 🚙 I discovered when my parents were in the hospital that usually the 18 and 13 are scheduled for easy transfers on Lark all day long. Sucks to have to back downtown but that’s the best way to transfer.

By the following weekend, school 🚸 will be done for the kiddies, and most of the pools and beaches will be open for swimming 🏊. Getting out of town for this weekend doesn’t seem promising but there are many things that I can do around town including fishing and kayaking. 🎣 It’s the third Saturday of June. I expect late nights on Thursday and maybe Saturday so I don’t know how I’d fine time to get out of town this weekend. But it’s good to save money 💵 as bills have proven tighter this month than expected.

I got the battery pack 🔋 that I had mom order for me on Amazon. It’s charging now. This week I’m going to wire an always on socket inside my truck specifically for keeping that charged along with hooking up the shunt and meter to the solar panel so I can monitor how much electricity is actually getting produced. I also want to hook up that other wire for the second accessory battery so it’s protected by the low voltage disconnected ⚡ which is important while camping or when we have many cloudy days or an equipment malfunction.
