Good morning! Happy Thursday.

Sunny but already graying on this spring morning. 🌸 Rain showers are expected later. Things continue to green up but the snow and cold weather earlier in the week was a bit of a set back. Spring though is still coming.

Partly cloudy and 36 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ⛅ There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃.

Wednesday was a pretty ordinary Hump Day, 🐫 busy but reasonable. Pine Bush Presentation was interesting, a lot of that renewable technology is getting better, it’s less and less about marketing and more practical.

Yesterday, I got in 20,000 steps as I did my morning walk, walked down to Lincoln Park mid-day and then around Elm Avenue Park after work. 👣 That’s good I’ve been making up for the more lazy weekend that was. That said, some of it wasn’t my fault with the rain and cold most of the weekend.

Tonight I have the Pine Bush Hike, 🌲 so that’s even more of a chance for hiking to some more. Maye I’ll even hit 20,000 steps again today. I will have to see, I often like going for a hike after the main hike in the night time, which is the best time of day to hike in the Pine Bush.

This weekend I’m thinking I will put on the red paint over the primer on my truck. 🛻 It would be good to cover over the rust paint which looks ugly. Sunday might be a good day for that as it will be warm and dry. And then walk out to Five Rivers.

Compared to recent years, spring is running late in Albany. 🌷 Looking at the long range, it seems like it’s no rush to get here though I tend to think we are past the frost point in Albany and that significant snow is unlikely until autumn.
