Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Six weeks to Primary Day 🗳️. With the state’s paid time off to vote law, I’ll have an excuse to get to a work late after voting at the library. Here’s a shocker, cloudy, damp and 42 degrees ☁ in the land of socialist Elsmere. The organic kale socialism type, the kind widely used embraced as long as it doesn’t involve higher taxes on the upper middle class. There is a north-northeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear tomorrow around 7 am.

I have to fix up the Save the Pine Bush display 🌲for the Lupine Festival this weekend. Yeap that’s happening this weekend and it should be a good event. Hopefully we will have lots of volunteers to join me so I won’t be sitting at the table all alone all day. I’m gathering up photos now, I’ll run off materials for the booth later on this week.

Today will rain, mainly after 3pm. 🌧 High of 49 degrees at 5pm. 20 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 27th. Northeast wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Almost didn’t bring an umbrella but I knew that to be foolish. 💦 New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 77 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1900.

The sun will set at 8:10 pm with dusk around 8:42 pm, which is one minute and 3 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 47 degrees.

It became sticky as the night progressed. It got down to 56 degrees. The record low of 31 occurred back in 1977.

Looking forward to Memorial Day Weekend 😎 especially if it looks like it will be warm and sunny. We might break out of the current pattern by then but who knows. A some point summer will be here. I was thinking that the Gas Up antique tractor festival 🚜 in Gallupville is only about a month away at this point. Might be fun to do that and then hammock camp ⛺ in the wilderness.

One month 📅 from now will be Flag Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:34 pm with dusk at 9:09 pm. I’ll have to get my big flag out. Hopefully the sun will shine by then.

Good morning! Happy Mothers Day 👩‍! Time for some motherly love and Frank Zappa records. 😍 Five weeks to Fathers Day 👨. Cloudy, damp and 47 degrees ☁ There is a east breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Wednesday around 11 am. Maybe. That said the 8-14 day outlook suggests warm and dry weather for Memorial Day Weekend but things are subject to change.

Its kind a damp morning as was predicted but the rain seems done. 💦 Laying back in the hammock, had some eggs 🍳, warmed up my hands by the heater. I did turn on the truck for a while because the starting battery 🔋was around 12.51 volts. Probably not required but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

In a bit I’m going to finish taking down camp and head fishing. 🎣 Later on I will probably go for a walk down to Rockwood Lake then head home. I think the rain is done for the day here. ☔
