We do burnouts for about 30 minutes until the truck just canโt do any more, overheated motor, boiling coolant, axles on fire ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ #CLOUDMAKERS Music from Epidemic Sound.
New Hampshire State Representative Kathyrn Stack has introduced legislation, House Bill 1504, to establish a committee to study a ban on recreational trapping. The committee would be required to begin meeting within 45 days of the enactment of the law and to submit its recommendations to the legislature by Nov. 1, 2020.
Committee members will be made up of two senators and three representatives. The panel will be empowered to seek information from any individual or organization with information relevant to the committeeโs objective. Sportsmen and women can expect to see a flood of animal-rights and anti-trapping propaganda if this is enacted. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department was created to study and implement the best wildlife management practices to conserve wildlife and habitat while providing recreational opportunities to New Hampshire sportsmen. It employs the stateโs top wildlife biologists who have consistently found that recreational trapping is of public benefit. House Bill 1504 would circumvent this process.
Good evening! Clear and 14 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. . There are 15 inches of snow on the ground. ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 1 pm.
I have to say it wasnโt the busiest day ever but after the snow storm came out went and then that late night at work Iโm rather tired. Fixing the skis was the big thing and I probably wasted too much time watch the YouTube lately. Iโm happy though I think Iโve worked out most of the major problems with the blog, especially the speed issue which has been bugging me for some time.
Feeling a bit stiff and sore this evening. I thought that was the Lyme and the doxycline was to take care of that. Not terrible but maybe itโs also all the time I spent on the exercise bike or the near slipping a few times on the black ice . Iโve been trying to carefully follow the antibiotics schedule but sometimes it varies when I can do it and it can be tough on my stomach to take it empty stomach.
I went for my evening walk and while it was cool it want too bad wearing gloves and moving. My goatee iced up a bit but with a calm breeze it didnโt seem super cold for December. Iโve certainly been out walking on much colder evenings.
Tonight will be mostly clear , with a low of 7 degrees at 3am. 17 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 7 at 4am; Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 14 degrees. The record low of -3 occurred back in 1902.
Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous Moon with 90% illuminated. The moon will set at 3:13 am. The Cold Moon is on Wednesday night with mostly cloudy skies expected. The sun will rise at 7:11 am with the first light at 6:39 am, which is 57 seconds later than yesterday. Tonight will have 14 hours and 50 minutes of darkness, an increase of one minute and 2 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be mostly sunny , with a high of 36 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 14th. Light south wind increasing to 9 to 14 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 30 degrees. The record high of 58 was set in 1927. 4.3 inches of snow fell back in 2001.
I did flip the switch to pull power from the solar panel to the starting battery so I should be in good shape to start Big Red come the morning although I wonder if I should have disconnected the switch before dark to keep the batteries from fighting. But we should have plenty of sun come the morning. Red is free of snow although Iโve not started him since the car wash on last Sunday morning. He looks so nice and clean compared to most cars on the road but alas tomorrow I have to go to the store and my parents house for Sunday dinner so heโll get dirty again. But then it will rain Monday, helping to wash away some of the salt.
Looking forward to getting that voltage sensitive relay switch from China and being able to use that to automatically connect the starting battery when the solar panel is putting out enough energy to charge it. It will make it easier and totally eliminate the guess work on when to flip the switch, keeping the batteries better balanced. I could envision a lot of useful projects with a voltage sensitive switch, especially when I have my off grid property eventually.
The skis and ski boots have been sealed and the glue has hardened on the one ski whose tip was broken so that I should be ready to go come the morning. I think Iโm going to drive to Elsmere and do the rail trail in the morning and go shopping after that. The best part of the day will be in the morning tomorrow as clouds ahead of the rain are expected to push in come Sunday evening. Looking at quite a bit of rain and snow melt Monday into Tuesday, places that often flood in the spring time might flood. Iโm definitely going to need the rain coat come Monday and might take the local to work.
John Wolcott wants to know if I can come over this week. I got to think about it some more but not Thursday as I have to bake a cake or something for the work holiday party on Thursday night. I probably should figure out what I want to cook so I can buy the ingredients tomorrow while Iโm at the store.
I am toying with the idea :idea: of requesting December 30th off work, as I have New Yearโs Eve and Day off as holidays. I am thinking it would be fun to toast the new year in the wilderness, possibly if we got a nice run of weather out in the Finger Lakes or somewhere else nice. I could ask and maybe Iโll get it. Who knows though itโs likely to be crappy snowy weather. I miss nightโs in the wilderness โ I had such fun last year.
In four weeks on January 4 the sun will be setting at 4:35 pm, which is 12 minutes and 57 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy skies , mild temperatures between 43 and 30 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 31 and 15 degrees. Last year after a cold November and early December, the second half of the month was relatively mild. The record high of 64 degrees was set back in 1950.
Looking ahead, 4:30 PM Sunset is in 3 weeks, Winnie the Pooh Day is in 6 weeks, 5 PM Sunset is in 7 weeks, February is in 8 weeks, Save the Pine Bush Turns 42 is in 2 months, Average High is 50 is in 16 weeks, 7:30 PM Sunset is in 4 months, Average High is 60 is in 19 weeks, Flower Moon is in 5 months, Average High is 70 is in 23 weeks, Memorial Day Weekend Starts is in 24 weeks.
