Elm Ave Park and Ride

Good morning! Happy Hump Day ☀

Not a half bad morning. Caught the earlier express bus doing walks around the Plaza before work.

Mostly sunny but a bit chilly at 35 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☀ Calm wind.

Yesterday I got my steps in 👣 but declined to go to the store. 🛏 Retired to be pretty early as it was a fairly cool evening and I didn’t want to use electricity unnecessarily. Another dark morning, looking forward to the time change except for the dark walk home from the express bus.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. 🌄

Moving forward on this week. Yesterday was nutty but not insanely busy. Often that’s the best one can hope for. Another day, another dollar invested for a better tomorrow.

After a rainy night the sun is rising though the clouds and its going to be a nice day but cool. ☀ We are at 44 degrees in Delmar heading up to 57 later in the day with more sun. Sunset this evening is at 6:08 pm. Only a few more weeks until November 6 with the time change. But that will make it easier to walk before work especially at 6:45 am.

Yesterday I went to the laundromat and washed my clothes. 👖 I don’t mind, they have free Wi-Fi there that I can use from my truck. But when my parents are around I still often wash them there. Beats though the cost of owning and maintaining a washing machine. Rained on and off pretty hard at times. But then it stopped when I got home.

Didn’t get my steps 👣 in yesterday. I got working on a GIS project yesterday and missed the time to leave for the express bus. Only had time for a lunchtime walk and while I did walk home from the express only ended up with 5,405 for the day. It’s hard with the mornings so dark and busy long days at work. Took the earlier express bus in today 🚍 and are walking 🚶 the Plaza now so hopefully I’ll make my steps goal for today.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! 😎

Last nice certainly was wet. But it’s rapidly clearing this morning but things are still dark out early.

Partly cloudy and 54 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ⛅ There is a north breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 51 degrees. The skies will clear around 9 am.

I didn’t think the flu and COVID-vaccine was bad. 💉 Maybe it’s because I’m getting so used to have shots and things injected into my body, but also the needles they use these days are so fine it’s barely a prick. I don’t feel a thing this time — my arms aren’t sore, I don’t feel sick or anything. Really much better with the latest booster compared to before. Maybe it’s because I’m just used to it but I didn’t have any side-effects.

The rain was so heavy 🌧 when I ran into the store and the pharmacy, and I got completely soaked. Hopefully I won’t get the flu from getting so wet. As soon as I got home I changed into dry clothes and went to bed. Well, after having some dinner from what I cooked up at home. 🍏 My pantry was kind of bare, because I avoided a trip to the store to double up with the flu shot. I would have preferred to walk down to the pharmacy, but not in the pouring rain.

I guess we are catching up on the rain, ☔ and it’s nice that it’s not lasting into the weekend. If I wasn’t so darn busy I’d probably think it’s a nice weekend to head out of town. But it’s good I’m going to head up to Colonie and visit Mr. Wolcott and do some hiking in the Pine Bush. 🌳 Based on the amount of color from my office window, it looks like it’s getting quite pretty outside downtown now.
