Good evening! Rain and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Breezy, ️17 mph breeze from the south-southeast 🌬 with gusts up to 30 mph 💨💨💨. The dew point is 50 degrees.

The Lyme Disease round 2 is no joke and I’m going to call the doctor on the morning 😷 and figure out this telemedicine thing. I wanted to wait for the bulls eye but I’m so achy and sore and pulled that big gorged tick on Tuesday. 🐜 I guess round 2 of Lyme hits a lot harder. I didn’t even think about my evening walk. I just hope come morning I won’t be too stiff and sore to climb the stairs. I’m sure once I get on doxycline I’ll be fine 💊 but this is pretty awful.

I’d like to get up to the Adirondacks this weekend for some social distancing ⛺ but with the Lyme disease and the mud and particularly the rain that is going to last through Friday night I don’t see it happening. Going to be a nice weekend so I’ll have to figure out what I can do closer to home. Weather is only going to improve as summer approaches and once I make up my mind on the screen house for camping I’ll have a black fly free zone for enjoying a long weekend camping.
