You know it’s going to be hot when they start the news cast talking about global warming and how hot it’s going to be.
Mostly cloudy and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 66 degrees. The muggy weather ends tomorrow around 7 pm. 😓
Right now while it’s a bit muggy 😰 it’s not bad for the morning walk 🚶 though I tried to get out walking as close to six o’clock this morning as possible before it warms up. That said, tomorrow is going to be truly hot day. 🌅
I went to the store yesterday 🛒 and stocked up on groceries and supplies as I was running very low and wanted to make sure I had plenty of cold things to eat and shorts for wearing. Not sure if I’ll have my truck this weekend back from the repair shop 🛠 so I wanted to be stocked up. Got everything but rubber cement to fix the leak in my swimming tube, but I can patch that next week before vacation. 🏖
Madea big pot of coffee ☕ before the morning walk so it can cool off by the time I get home and I can ice it down. I don’t like drinking coffee before my morning and walk for obvious reasons.
I want to clip my hair ✂ when I get home so it won’t be quite so hot. If it’s really hot 🔥 I might stay late at work to finish up some things and then take the local home to avoid the walk. Maybe bring my laptop and go down to the library 📚 after work.

We definitely need the rain it’s been so dry most of the summer. On Bennett Hill a lot of the smaller bushes are dying off and dropping leaves. Grass is browning up, hay growing slowly.
After today, especially come Wednesday its going to be just plain hot.

Cloudy and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ Calm wind. The dew point is 67 degrees. Definitely muggy. The skies will clear tomorrow around 4 am. Then hot.
Back to work today. 🏢 Weekends always seem to come and go so quickly. 🚶 Figure get out early waking before the rain, especially as I expect it to be wet come the time I’m heading down to the express bus and will end up taking the local bus to work.
By yesterday evening it cooled down enough 😰 that I was able to hike up Bennett Hill after visiting my parents for Sunday dinner. 🌭 It was a nice hike, I went slowly up the hill not to get too hot and enjoyed cooling off at Bathtub Springs.
Got the new battery 🔋 in my laptop and it is working good. I should have replaced the bad one a few months ago, it was running dangerously hot at times and was all bulged out when I replaced it.

With the heat and humidity expected today, it’s going to be a hot one.
Partly sunny ☀ and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees. A lot of haze this morning with the humidity though it’s helping to keep things a bit cooler to start out the day.
Out for my morning walk 🚶 around 6:30 before it gets really hot. 😰 After breakfast I will head to Walmart and I need to get an apartment key 🗝 made as I broke my one the other day.
Yesterday I took the Nature Bus 🚍 out to Thatcher Park 🏞. It was a nice day with a good breeze. I like the Nature Bus not just because it’s free but also it puts you on a set schedule, otherwise I know I would end up not getting such an early start. I go wish I had stayed until the last bus at 6:20 though that’s kind of a long day. Hiked the Bear Trail and the loop around back, then read 📖 for a couple of hours.
Got the laptop battery 🔋 I ordered in the mail and had it installed in ten minutes. It’s good as the old battery wasn’t holding any charge and would shut off as soon as unplugged. The replacement was only $20 for a generic battery, as I wasn’t going to get an OEM battery as my laptop is nearly seven years old now and quite beat up. 💻
Been working on processing weather data 🌤️ in R studio for making maps – specifically maps of current temperature and dew point using raster interpolation and extraction. Seems silly but there is a lot of useful projects I can do with the technique in R.
Heading out to the parents house for Sunday dinner later. 🍽️ Kind of a hot and sticky day but maybe later this evening I’ll hike Bennett Hill to get my steps 👣 in for the day.
Summer vacation is a week and a half away. 🏖 Should be a nice, quiet trip once you I get my truck repaired on Friday. 🛠 I don’t plan a very adventurous vacation, although at least gas prices ⛽ have backed down somewhat in recent weeks. I want to leave early on that Friday. Looking forward to getting away.
