Good evening. Currently overcast and 24 degrees in Albany.
Tonight we have a Waxing Cresent Moon with 32% illuminated. It will set at 9:43 pm. Tonight we will have a chance of snow showers before 7pm, then a slight chance of snow showers after 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 10. South wind 6 to 8 mph becoming west after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Cold night but with the lighter
In four weeks on March 11 the sun will be setting at 5:57 pm, which is 34 minutes later then today. There are 3 months, 18 days until Memorial Day. when the sun will be setting at 8:25 pm. I look forward to those summer nights.
Crazy fast bus driver is getting me home quickly. I didn’t get my GPS app open fast enough on my phone to clock the bus speed but the driver was moving. I want to get a screenshot clocking the bus speeding. I should be home on time or early, which is nice on a Friday. Hey, if the driver doesn’t crash I’m not complaining.
Filed my taxes today. The feds are sending me a check for $600 and I owe the state $200. Not too bad, although my market investments only saw a capital gain of $50, although they did pay reinvested dividends of around $3k. Not a great year in the markets last year but things will turn around. Oh, well. I feel less broke now.
I finally got stuff straightened out with National Grid and are back in their auto-pay plan. Kind of a pain in the ass but it finally worked itself out. Probably dinged my credit but I’m not planning on buying anything on credit for a while.
It’s going to be a cold weekend. Oh well. No big plans. I probably will mostly stay in town, work on some code, get my flu shot, and maybe go to the Adirondacks Outdoors Expo. We will see.
