September 10, 2015 evening

|

Good evening. 63 degrees and light rain. Look for the rain to clear out tonight and drop a few more degrees before sunrise at 6:30 AM. Clouds and 65 degrees for the morning commute, and 78 degrees with clearing late. Rain showers are back for Saturday and Sunday. The weekend forecast has gotten wetter then predicted earlier but that’s good as we need rain.

This evening I drove down to Adams Station Apartments and voted. I then walked down to the library, wasted some time on the Internet and walked home. Little drizzle both ways but walking is so liberating. My ankle continues to get stronger. Watching the election results come in on my Smartphone.

Ordered a Bluetooth dongle to connect to my desk/camp speakers or truck. They are pretty cheap now, but I went for a $20 model that had better reviews. My truck can connect to my phone with Bluetooth but it only has Bluetooth 1.0 so the sound quality is low for podcasts much less music. The dongle is Bluetooth 4.0 for high quality audio and has a standard audio out to hook to my speakers or the audio in on my truck. As my phone has FM radio, I can also play and control the FM radio audio through my phone. I came across these dongles on Car and Track magazine, and when I saw the price, I said it was worth a try. I like playing music through my desk speakers at camp but wished I could still use my phone wireless. Now I will be able. Technology is cool.

Remington 597 22lr

I picked it up last week for $178. Here it is still in the box. It's a nice little 22LR, not the fanciest gun ever, but it is fun to shoot and doesn't kick much. Not that much has changed since it's been unboxed, although I did oil it up, after I left it my truck while camping the first night I had it and it started to rust. Marvelous gun metal.

Below the Dam

No real color at this elevation on Labor Day. But I'm sure in a few weeks it will be spectacular.

September 10, 2015 afternoon

|

Good afternoon. Drizzle and 70 degrees this afternoon. Heavy traffic with delays on I-787 leaving the city. Crash near 9W overpass.

For getting out and voting this evening, look for rain showers for a few more hours. Sunset at 7:14 PM. Then clouds, and clearing by morning. 78 degrees tomorrow. Rain showers on Saturday.

A week from Friday, September 18th the sun will set for the first time before 7 PM as we rapidly head into fall. Cooler weather and shorter days remind us that summer can’t last and autumn must take over.
