Good evening! Sitting out back listening to Get Together from the Youngbloods. That song was recorded a half century ago and became a hit during the summer of 1967. It was the summer of love, when Newark and Detroit went up in flames, starting tonight, 1967. Going to be much more hot and humid tomorrow. 

Tonight is quite pleasant with partly  clear skies and 75 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 7 mph. The breeze is nice when it picks up. The dew point is 63 degrees. Still a pretty warm evening, and slowly but surely the dew point is creeping up. 

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low of 65 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal. South wind around 8 mph. Maximum dew point of 64 at 6am. The record low of 45 occurred back in 1939. Waxing Gibbous Moon tonight with 60% illuminated. The moon will set around 2:44 am. The Full “Buck” Moon is on Tuesday, July 19th.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny, with a high of 91 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees above normal. South wind 7 to 16 mph. Maximum dew point of 69 at 4pm. The record high of 96 was set in 1894. The sun will rise at 5:29 am with the first light at 4:55 am, which is 48 seconds later then yesterday.

0.4 inch of rain expected between Wednesday 8pm and Friday 7pm. Within the next four days, a total of 0.4 inches of rain is expected. We have some muggy weather coming up. Wednesday 8am – Friday 3pm. Maximum temperature will be 91 degrees, a heat index reaching 97, and a maximum dew point of 72. Friday 7pm – Friday 10pm. Maximum temperature will be 86 degrees, a heat index reaching 88, and a maximum dew point of 65. Definitely going to not be pleasant sleeping for the next few days.

Tomorrow I have my eye doctor appointment then I plan to wash the mud off of my truck and clean it up a bit inside. Then I’ll drop off at the mechanic to get the air conditioning checked and have the transmission and transfer case fluid changed. I’m also going to top off the brake fluid which isn’t low but could be a little closer to the max line. I checked the brakes and they should be good for vacation and beyond. I try to pretty gentle on my brakes. They may go another year or more before needing replacement. 

Work continues to be crazy, but if I can make it less than two weeks, I’ll be spending my days soaking in the rays, poolside and enjoying nice long evenings in the Finger Lakes. I can’t wait.
