Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Six weeks to Average High is 55 🍂. Partly sunny, hazy from the wildfires 🔥 and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃

This morning I was running low on milk 🥛 but I made due with what I had with some cold coffee ☕ from yesterday. I like cold coffee, it’s nice and strong 💪🏻. Morning ain’t morning without milk. 🐮

Out for my morning walk 🚶🏻and it’s kind of odd with the haze with the haze from the wildfires out west. 🔥 It’s sunny but the skies are quite gray. Not the deep blue you would think of during late September on a low humidity day. Smell some wood smoke but I think it’s just from someone with a wood stove.

For some reason one of these my eyes 👀 was irritated and I lost one of my contacts out walking but I’ll put in a fresh one when I get home 🏡. Not a big deal but it limits my vision while walking.

I was looking at that picture 🖼 I posted of Dick Patrick from 1975, and I am thinking the long side burns need to return 💈 now that autumn is returning. So I’m to grow them back but maybe not as wild as Mr. Patrick. When I had sideburns in the spring, it was a lot less shaving.

Going to be a nice weekend. 👍🏻 Cool but sunny. I’m hoping to get up to the Adirondacks next weekend but this weekend I have a meeting in town 🌼so I’ll try to go hiking locally. I’m hoping next weekend though the leaves will be really good in the Adirondacks. 🍂
