Good morning! Happy Tuesday. 🌄

Already noticing how much later the sun is rising though it’s still a pretty nice morning.

Partly sunny and 58 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ Calm wind. The dew point is 56 degrees.

Out walking 🚶 at six o’clock as I find it makes the day go so much smoother. I get my steps 👣 in earlier which means that they are more likely to get done and I don’t drag so much getting started. Then I come home and have breakfast 🥞 take a shower 🚿 and then catch the later express bus 🚍 downtown.

I was in bed 🛏 before nine which seems early but I sleep so much better when I’m in bed at nine and get up at six o’clock. It also helps to manage the daylight so much more efficiently especially as we head into the dark time of the year. Once it gets cold, I can crawl under the electric heated blanket and stay warm without big bills.

Monday was busy but relatively sane. 🏢 What needed to get done got done at work in an orderly way. 🛒 I got to the grocery store and stocked my pantry. I should be good until I get the weekend. I wanted to wash my truck 🛻 but the wash bay was closed. Doesn’t matter, truck will get dirty this weekend. ♻ I returned my beer cans and dwelled on how empty my trash cans are. 🔥 I try to avoid buying things in metal or glass except for beer.

I early voted yesterday on my walk home from the express. 🗳 Only one race locally with a primary, the Congressional with Rar vs Zip or whatever you want to call the man from Amsterdam who lives in the same place as his mom and dad. I like Tonko and Amsterdam more generally, but who knows besides myself who I voted for.

I am still thinking about heading north this weekend, maybe the last time to Piseco Powley 🏊‍♂️ and the Potholers this year. The rest of the summer into the autumn, trips will likely involve a degree of remote work so I’ll have to camp ⛺ places with cell service. 📱

Been going through my blog logs 📜 trying to come up with some ideas for blog posts based on searches. 🔎You know things like maps and coordinate data for places to camp or hike. Some of it is QGIS stuff but it’s hard to resist the power of R for doing geospatial things.
