Good evening. Currently partly cloudy and 26 degrees in Albany. Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 14. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable after midnight.

Tonight we have a waxing crescent moon, setting at 7:21 pm. Tuesday will be a chance of snow, mainly after 10am. Cloudy, with a high near 32. South wind 8 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

The long weekend is starting to look fairly nice, but seasonably cold. I’m looking at heading up to the Adirondacks and camping along the East Branch of the Sacandaga River. Right now they don’t have a lot of snow there, but week the lake effect and continued cold, they may have a foot. That’s fine, I just need to dig out a place a long the road to park, and I’ll hike back to the campsite. Looking forward to getting camping next weekend.

Big Red has been running great since I got the new battery in it. Which is good because it’s been a real pain not having a reliable car, and much too long of an ordeal. The cigarette light voltage meter reads lower with the new battery, but it’s constant and starts with ease. I’ve noticed no issues. I wonder if the old battery was reading so high, because it was taking only a surface charge causing it sit high. 12.55 seems lower then normal, but there is probably a small amount of voltage drop between the battery and cigarette lighter. Unplug it,

Besides the great pasta spill this morning, things have gone pretty well this morning. It’s been a productive day.
