October 26, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Despite the dark morning, I’m up and going. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ I think it’s a pay week, so good motivation to get going. ๐Ÿ’ต Plus next week we get to sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด in one more hour with the time change. ๐Ÿ•’ Five weeks to Cyber Monday ๐Ÿ›๏ธ and Beaver Moon ๐ŸŒ•. Rain showers and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ There is a southeast breeze at 5 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 8 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Kind of a chilly, wet morning but I woke up early and got some coffee โ˜• going. A very dark for one more Monday until we set the clock back for extra daylight in the morning but very dark evenings ๐ŸŒƒ ahead. Happens every year. That’s called changing the way time, something all the cranks hate but I don’t like going to work in the dark. ๐Ÿฎ I had to walk to the store this morning to get milk ๐Ÿฅ› for the coffee. One benefit to living in the land of the suburbanite.

It’s a rainy morning โ˜” with the drizzle but I’m out for my morning walk๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธbecause I didn’t get out last night. One advantage to walking in the rain, no joggers ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธto run you over.

Soon I expect to be working downtown every day, so on days I don’t have to wear my suit ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ, I hope to be taking the express bus ๐ŸšŒ downtown. The walk to the park and ride ๐Ÿšhelps to clear my mind. Plus, it’s a one stop trip from the Park and Ride to the Emperors Plaza. ๐Ÿš„ On a nice day, the views of the mountains and Plaza are nice.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Saturday, sunny, with a high near 48. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 53. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Typical average high for the weekend is 54 degrees.

I am looking at the weekend forecast ๐Ÿ”ญ ๐ŸŒž but the real question ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ is when will the rain and snow ๐ŸŒจ depart on Friday and how truly cold โ„ will it be for camping if I go out to Brookfield and do some small game hunting ๐Ÿฟ ๐Ÿ”ซ and enjoying the woods. ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ
