Good evening! Rain and 46 degrees in Dormansville, NY. ☔ Breezy, ️17 mph breeze from the west-northwest 🌬 with gusts up to 29 mph 💨💨💨. Definitely can hear the wind roar around the truck cap tonight. Moon 🎑 is peaking out a bit through the clouds. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

While the truck cap is warm 🚚 the wind really is loud 🍃 tonight. I am far enough away from trees I’m not really wor about one coming down. 🌲🌳

It looks like they got snow ⛄ in the High Country of West Virginia last night. Not a lot but maybe it’s good I went there last week rather than this week. Parents are making out okay on the cruise but apparently it’s been choppy with the Nor ‘Easter with the waves 🌊. Looks like nice weather for the rest of the week for them.

Starting battery 🔋 voltage looked a bit low on my truck but it’s creeped back up and I’m not that worried as the accessory batteries will still be charged enough in the morning in case it needs an additional boost. It will be fine I’m sure.

That On the Farm video I posted earlier 🐮 about wood chips livestock composting is kind of neat. Sucks that YouTube has banned videos of people working with and processing meat. I know Pennsylvania does a lot of road kill deer carcass composting. Composting certainly is better than just burial as you don’t loose the nutrients.

I have this rash on my face that looks like poison ivy. 🌿 Maybe I touched something out back. Not sure but I think it’s healing. Annoying though where it is.
