Good morning! Happy Friday, Sixty Days until Election Day. 🗳
Don’t ask how I know. Busy times this morning. And the bus is running late, as school is back in session. Apparently they are short on bus drivers, so the driver is doing the school run, then heading out to park and ride. At least he’s a fast driver, so we are making up time.
Mostly sunny and 56 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 😎 Calm wind. The dew point is 56 degrees.
It’s a Friday and like most weeks it just flew by. 🐦 Time goes by so quickly these days with work and everything else. Sunday doesn’t look like it will be real nice so I think it will be a stay at home weekend taking the Nature Bus to Thacher Park 🏞 on Saturday. I think I want to do the big loop around Thompsons Lake Hamlet and then up to North Point. A good fifteen mile hike will make up for all the days I’ve missed in recent weeks especially the lazy Labor Day Weekend.
I got a federal jury summons in the mail on Tuesday ✉ but I was able to request a deferment until December because of work and wanting to travel in October. 🎃 I did the jury survey in February, I’m surprised only now they’re reaching out to me. December is a good month for me to do jury duty if I have too. Federal jury duty sounds like fun – they provide free water and snacks plus a per deim of $50 regardless of employment and milage reimbursement. 🏛️ Plus I usually don’t do as much camping in December although this year I’ve been thinking more about camping at Rennselearville State Forest.
Next weekend I might head out of town ⛺ although I’m not sure if with things being so mild it will be peak colors 🍁 in the Spectulator area. Maybe I should wait an extra weekend. But with gas prices falling well below $4 if the weather is good next week I might do an overnight trip and hike the beautiful Catskill Scenic Trail. It could be rainy next week, only time will tell. 🤷♂️
Rain showers this morning, but hard to say how much. 🌧
Probably not going to end the drought, but every little bit helps. With the rain and clouds around this morning and the later sunrise, it was super dark this morning.

Not the nicest day but cool enough that I was able to the light reinstalled in the outdoor fixture that has the hornets nest.
Clouds and 71 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☁️ Calm wind. The dew point is 68 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 4 am.
We had clouds yesterday but no rain. 🌧️ Muggy though by afternoon especially when the sun ☀ came out and made things extra steamy. Today the chances of rain look somewhat better though still not great. At least it’s been somewhat wetter in the Adirondacks so if I have a fire 🔥 up north the risk won’t be that great. I’m sure the water 💦 levels will be low in the Potholers though.
I tell you when I get to my age, the weeks don’t last nearly as long. Seasons come and go at the blink of the eye. Partly sunny and 67 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☀ Calm wind. The dew point is 61 degrees.
