Good morning! No rain yet, we but we know what’s coming. ⛈

Maybe we won’t get as much rain as up north, and no snow but it is hardly going to be a banner day. I do hope to do some hiking at Hollyhock or maybe Blodgett Hill.

Clouds and 50 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ There is a southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 11 pm. Then cold and windy tomorrow for Easter with clouds.

What can I say, Easter might be late 🐰 but that’s not guarantee of nice weather. I have a family obligation next weekend so I can’t get out of town, but maybe the following weekend I’m hoping. 😎 The thing is at this point the weather is only going to get warmer and nicer, although that also means the black flies will be awakening soon 🐜 and I want to get at least one spring weekend in the Adirondacks before the black flies are out.

I am heading to the transfer station to drop off my recyclables ♻️ and be green and things like that. I’ve sorted out everything carefully, put a nice bow on it, have my $6 ready, and will put everything in the proper dumpsters to be green. As dubious as I may be about it all, I really needed to empty my trash cans 🥫 of metals and glass so might as well recycle plastics too.

I am hoping that the rain will hold off for a few hours, 🌧 so I can enjoy a few hours in the woods 🐦 looking at the birds and enjoying the spring time weather, although I think sun will be hard to come by. But still Hollyhock is nice. I might do Blodgett Hill, it’s a much more vigorous hike, but it’s sort of out of the way compared to Hollyhock which is just down the road form the transfer station.

Yesterday I sanded and primed my truck. Next time I have a nice weekend I’ll sand the primer down with fine grain sand paper then use the duplicate color to cover it. 🛻 Doesn’t have to perfect but I want to slow the growth of the rust holes. That said, the areas I worked on last year really did stop the cancer ♋ in its tracks. Rust belt life sucks.

I spent most of the evening and night 🌃 reading a library book about Javascript. I’ve been using that language on and off since high school to build my blog 📚 but my knowledge is pretty vague of modern Javascript and the techniques widely used today with nodejs.

I should have gone for my walk 🚶 yesterday as it was a pretty nice day but in the evening it got dark and cloudy ⛅ and painting the truck, sorting recyclables ♻ and reading 📖 took the balance of the day. I still do pretty good most days for walking and I expect I will close out the month of April averaging more than 10,000 steps per day. 👣
