Weather Update – May 28, 2022
The week ahead … ð
Things should be improving after this morning, Sunday looks quite nice with the heat coming in on Monday. I am thinking about walking ðķ out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center later.
Sunday looks like too nice of a day to waste but with gas prices â― what they are I doubt I’ll be heading far from home. Been thinking about possibly kayaking ðķ in the Hudson River from Albany to Troy then Sunday and on Monday heading out to the folks house, maybe doing some paddling on Lawson Lake as it will probably be too hot for much hiking. ð°
It seems like the work load this week is lighter than expected ð so I could have headed out of town but I figure save whatever fuel I can for summer trips. ðĒ Next week will be super busy in the office so I doubt I’ll get up north next weekend âš but I’m hoping by the following week for a three or four days. By then the worse of black flies season ð will be over and the water ðĶ temperatures not so cold.

Daily Update – May 28, 2022
Good afternoon! Happy Memorial Day Weekend ðšðļ
Not the greatest start to Memorial Day Weekend, it’s been kind of rainy on and off all morning. No real heavy rain but still hardly a banner weekend. But they say it will improve and even be hot come Sunday.
Rain showers, clouds and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. â There is a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph. ð. The dew point is 61 degrees. The skies will clear around 4 pm.
I got to leave work at two on Friday ð which made me wish I had headed out of town as it seems like a quiet weekend. Got home, took a nap. I’ve been getting up at 5:30 am with the sunrise ð but not getting to bed as early as I should. But alas summer is not over yet.
Last night I went down to the library ð for the first time in months. With my smartphone ðą and the unlimited data plan I’m hard pressed to need the Wi-Fi much any more. After getting the SD card ðģ issue resolved, my music ðķ and apps working I’m very happy with my new phone, like it more than the old one. And heck only $35.
This morning I’m doing some reading ð and learning about spatial data with R. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to use the redist package in R to do maximum gerrymandering mostly for fun. Also been trying to learn more about spatial correlation and how to find patterns in R. ðĨ
Later on if it’s not too stormy â I am thinking about hiking out to Five Rivers. ðĶ With gas prices at five dollars a gallon ðļ I’m trying to leave Big Red ðŧ parked as much as possible. I want to save the gas money for summer months when I can spend all weekend out of town. Plus I’m due for an oil ðĒ change fairly soon.
And knowing how busy and crazy ðĪŠ next week will be at work I’m in no rush to do much of anything this weekend besides taking it slow. But I know once I get past this week things will be so much quieter for at least a few weeks. Then I know the craziness of the even year autumn won’t be far away.
This weekend hasn’t proven as busy as I feared âš and I could have headed north or to the Greens. ð But it all comes back to five dollar gas. I don’t know why I fear the pump so much – I make good money ðĩ these days but I also feel like with the money it’s a great opportunity to save and invest, especially with the markets down and stocks and bonds becoming more affordable. ð
I just know personal restraint and hard work today ð§ðŧâðž means a better tomorrow. I see within ten to fifteen years owning my own land, looking out on livestock grazing ðŪ ðū living a life based on reality rather than escape. A life that doesn’t require a vacation. ð Now really is the best time to take advantage of what i have and work hard. That sometimes means passing up on adventures.
In Four Weeks on June, 24, 2022
In Four Weeks …
In four weeks on June 24 the sun will be setting in the northwest (304°) at 8:38 pm,ð which is 14 minutes and 57 seconds later then today. In 2021 on that day, we had mostly sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 76 and 45 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 82 and 60 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 1943.
Weather Update – May 27, 2022
Hot dang come Memorial Day ð
And then cooler for the next weekend. Probably doesn’t matter much as I’ll be in the office ðĒ though I will definitely want to do my walk early then. Then cool for next weekend. Maybe it will be the following week for getting out of town. Saves gas. â―

Daily Update – May 27, 2022
Good morning! Happy Memorial Day Weekend Friday ! ðšðļ
No rain yet but its coming. That’s just how the dice ðē seem to roll these days and then hot come next week.
Overcast and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. â There is a south breeze at 8 mph. ð. The dew point is 60 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 pm.
Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a real nice day, â so I’m out walking ðķ early to beat the day. If I was heading out of town I would be finishing up my packing so it’s nice that I don’t have to do that. Maybe next week.
Cloudy this morning âïļ and you can feel the humidity building in. I will definitely need my rain coat later, and who knows about the evening walk. Out at six o’clock walking just because it’s coolest and calmest then. I could do the Plaza but with the earlier express bus ð being so problematic time wise this seems like a good alternative.
Yesterday got home at six 6âĢ o’clock in the evening and then went to the town park for a while and read ð. I have this library book on the history of meteorology I’ve been reading on and off.
I had to reformat my SD card ðģ but now I’m able to move podcasts and apps to it so I’m mostly happy with my new phone ðą now that my apps restored. I do need to copy over my music ðķ, I tried using the USB cable and that was too slow to move 30 gigs of music over. I’ll have to do it directly with the SD card.
Everything now has transferred over pretty well. ðĪģ I always worry that when they make you buy an extra month of service with the new phone they won’t properly credit it on your account, but it was a seamless process this time like last time. The extra month credit just shows up in my account, so I shouldn’t get billed in June. So the net cost of the new phone is just $35 not $90 because I won’t be paying for the service next month. Didn’t even have to activate the new phone — I just swapped the sim cards, and additional time was automatically credited to my account. So I’m happy it all worked out. now that I have my apps on my phone, I’m am pretty happy with them too.
