I didn’t expect to spend my whole day here in the office but so be it. Just kind of a long day, although a busy one so time went by quickly. I guess I will be back tomorrow too🏢. Parking didn’t seem too bad today downtown,🚏 so hopefully it won’t be too bad tomorrow with day two of Tulip Festival 🌷when I come back in. I can’t take the bus in tomorrow as the service shuts down early on Sundays. So much for working on the solar panel tomorrow. 😟At least I’m not missing a weekend where it would be nice for camping.

I tell you this has been a lough year in many ways. I guess rewarding on the sense that I’m coming one day closer to my dreams and investing in my future but the days have been long:mrgreen:. I do feel confident in what I do after years of experience but it’s dragged on. Family members are getting older and I’m getting increasingly gray👴. But the best is yet to come. I’m just really tired tonight.

Maybe in the morning before I go back into the office, I’ll have to go for a walk somewhere nice. Maybe Five Rivers Environmental Education Center or maybe that preserve along the river that is just south of Rensselaer. 🏃I really need to stretch my legs after spending all day in the office. 🌺🌼🌿 Plus tomorrow is expected to be a beautiful day.

In four weeks on June 9 the sun will be setting at 8:32 pm,🌄 which is 24 minutes and 8 seconds later then tonight. In 2017 on that day, we had partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 79 and 57 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 76 and 55 degrees. The record high of 100 degrees was set back in 1933.

Looking ahead, Veterans Day Observed (Monday) 🇺🇸 is in 6 months. Strangely enough I kind of look forward to the peace and quiet of November once again, even if means colder weather and short days.

🇺🇸🦅Only 12 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
