Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.
A census-designated place (CDP) has been established since 1980 by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating the population of what the census has defined as the boundaries of the urbanized area in and around Delmar. The population was 8,292 at the 2000 census, but it was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.
In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar hamlet or CDP) as one of the “Best Places to Live” in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called “Great American Towns.

After taking down camp drove down to Sled Harbor then a few miles further at Perkins Clearing. Looked at fishing in what I think was the Miami River, which looked like it might have some trout pools but decided against it when I saw how low the river was. Then tossed a line in the Jessup River until I lost the lure when the wind caught it and flew into a tree. Then I got yet another lure stuck in my shirt. The wind started to pick up and then some heavy rain. Drove home. The weather sucked this weekend.
Washed my truck, gassed it up. Went to my parents house for Sunday dinner. Went for my evening walk. Finished unpacking. Really quite tired for sure.
I’m not getting into that pitty party on Facebook about some obscure shooting in Orlando as a way to ram even more absurd gun control down our throats. Life is full of risks and freedom means some people will use it irresponsibly. Punish murders to the full extent of the law and seize their assets. You can’t punish people for thought crime. I really think that the left has really lost its mind in recent years. I’m really divided on the choice between Trump and Clinton. Buffoon versus scheming, dishonest politician.
Looking ahead, Fathers Day is in 1 week, September 11th is in 13 weeks and Christmas is in 28 weeks.

My camping gear is mostly packed. I think based on the forecast I might actually dig out the propane heater, to warm my butt up in the cold (seriously). They’re talking low 40s and windy at times this weekend. We’ll see. I have the propane for the stove, so I guess it’s just one more bag to bring it. Should be a nice weekend, despite the cool weather.
Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. I think there is hope for the weekend. Currently partly cloudy and 61 degrees in Delmar. Breezy, 16 mph breeze from the west-northwest. Generally pleasant right now.

The normal high for today is 76, so it will be about normal for this time of year. The record high of 93 happened back in 2011. That year was a pretty warm one for sure. If this summer is that warm, I plan to spend a lot of time at the Potholers. Which so far this summer hasn’t been real warm.

On this day in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy’s funeral takes place at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. While it’s true that many prime voters today can assassination of John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy in another decade there will be many fewer of them. It’s bound to change how people perceive politics. I think it’s wonderful that they have been doing so much documentation of the neighborhoods that disappeared with construction of the Empire State Plaza as few will remember a time before the plaza in another decade.
Good evening! Currently partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar. There is a west breeze at 14 mph. The dew point is a comfortable 51. It’s nice how long the nights are.

I think the cool weather will be refreshing. For the weekend with the cool temperatures, I don’t expect the black flies to be too bad for the weekend. We are rapidly moving past black fly season. With those long nights it will be nice in the Adirondacks this weekend . I may pick up some fireworks locally to light off and play with during the weekend.
I’ve started to thinking about mounting the solar panel permanently on the roof of my truck cap. Been thinking about how much sun the truck gets parked and then I would have ample power at camp while parked. I worry about leaks though by drilling through the truck cap roof, so I have some questions about doing it.
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Today is VCR day. Honestly, I like how my digital TV converter box automatically records the PBS Newshour each evening – but not on tape like the olden days.
Currently partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar.There is a south-southwest breeze at 9 mph. The dew point is a somewhat sticky 61. A lot of moisture in the air from last night. Not a terrible day but still pretty humid. I wish the bus had more air conditioning.

We made it to Tuesday, so step by step we are getting closer to the weekend. Looking forward to exploring the Miami River this weekend and doing some fishing.
Good evening! Currently clear and 66 degrees in Delmar. The spring peepers are relatively quiet tonight and a fairly sparse population of fireflies. The recently cut hay field at the farm down the road. The dew point has creeped up a bit with the coming rain but still is a comfortable 53.
Decided to head inside and retire to bed, while I watch the PBS Newshour that I taped earlier in the evening. I have to hear about the day’s follies of Donald Trump. I don’t really like Hillary but she isn’t likely to be as destructive as her GOP opponent. I guess the .22 ammo shortage will last four more years. Or maybe more ammunition manufacturers will open up in response to hoarders who fear yet another nutty president.
