Good evening! Cloudy, damp and 61 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ Calm wind. The dew point is 60 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 9 am.

It was a pretty quiet day at work today, especially in the afternoon. 🤫 I worked from home all day and it rained a lot. I have a Zoom meeting tomorrow morning so I’ll probably drive down to there for a while. Watched some YouTube videos 📼I downloaded weeks ago after work and started to read but I couldn’t get into the book 📙 I got from the library. No big loss for sure.

That YouTube video on Justin Rhodes channel of the unassisted cattle birth 🐄 really is quite amazing video to watch 📺. I was also watching the Arms Family Homestead chase around pigs 🐽 that had gotten loose and NB88 chop down trees 🌲that were in risk of falling across his driveway 💥 during the winter. Yeah, I do watch videos sometimes but I don’t have commercials when I watch them at home 🏡 and I am sure most of commercial television is about glammer and not about shoveling poop 💩 or moving cows.

I remember that day well when I was at Moose River Plains.🍂It was a hot day but the leaves were all past peak at the higher elevation in the plains due to the cold snap earlier in that month. Very odd year for sure that September. No hurricanes at least. 🌀
