74 degrees and kind of muggy and cloudy tonight. So far Delmar has missed the rain but with a storm cell bearing down on the Heldebergs we might catch the next batch of stormy weather. I’d say the best chance for rain is late when the temperature drops to 66 degrees and gets close to the dewpoint. Sunny around 6:15 with clouds creeping in mid-morning. Around 70 for your morning commute.

Pretty quiet day at work and after dinner laid in bed with a book. My ankle is gradually getting better but it’s going to take time. I feel awful missing my evening walk that I’ve done for years, but I understand my ankle has to recover before I can get out and do a lot of walking. Still not the same stuck at home all of the time. Looking at the new bus schedule, I will be able to get down to the library and back in evenings with ease should the weather be inclement. The bus doesn’t stop right in front of the library but it still cuts a 6/10th mile walk to 2/10th mile walk and provides ample choices especially for heading down there. Most nights I will still walk when I’m better to the library as I like the exercise after dinner.

As much as I’d like to go swimming and go camping next week, I know that is a bad idea while I still recover. The following weekend – Labor Day weekend – I’m leaning towards Moose River Plains, mostly spent with a good book at camp. I kind of want to go to the Trappers and Sportsman Expo at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds Labor Day Weekend like I had long planned but with my ankle I don’t know if that is still on the agenda. Piseco-Powley Road or North Lake Reservoir would be a lot closer, but if I only attend one day I could visit on the way north. I will see what I feel like in another week and a half.
