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.
Good morning on this Foggy Thursday. Got fairly chilly last night, a point I noticed as I failed to make my bed last night, so I was sleeping above the covers. Even if it gets chilly next month, I doubt I will turn on the heat before November. Currently, 58 degrees.
Today is going to be another warm day with the mercury heading up to 85 degrees. Right now we’ve reached the high dewpoint of the day, for the rest of the day look for a comfortable dewpoint in the upper 50s. Sunny once the fog burns off.
Tomorrow I’m off to Lewis County through Monday for a long weekend. Probably spend most of it in the greater Lowville area, between Whetstone Gulf, Otter Creek, Independence River, and Smith Road in Number Four. Bringing the kayak, will paddle Whetstone Reservoir if all goes well. Maybe fish the Black River and do some target shooting. I will take pictures both with my phone and the Digital SLR camera. As I will most likely have cell service most of the weekend I will post pictures throughout.
Good morning on this rainy Sunday. We caught up on the rain deficit with some portions of the Catskills getting 3-6 inches of rain last night. No serious flooding due to recent dry weather The damp conditions hang on through Monday, with clouds and times of showers expected throughout the day with a high only around 70. Currently 64 degrees and cloudy but the clouds may part briefly this morning before clouding up again.
Today will be wet. That’s how NOAA would describe it with showers and thunderstorms likely before 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 2pm and 3pm, then scattered showers and thunderstorms after 3pm. Wunderground says thunderstorms may bring hail. But other than that, it’s damp outside.
Yesterday I went to the Barber Shop and got a haircut and walked down to the library. Thought about going to the park but decided with the impending rain not to walk down there. Did get somewhat wet walking back from the library the spent the evening listening to podcasts. Today I will probably go out to Indian Ladder Farms and get some cider and donuts. Too bad this weekend is such a washout but next week looks nice once we get past Monday.
Good evening. 63 degrees and light rain. Look for the rain to clear out tonight and drop a few more degrees before sunrise at 6:30 AM. Clouds and 65 degrees for the morning commute, and 78 degrees with clearing late. Rain showers are back for Saturday and Sunday. The weekend forecast has gotten wetter then predicted earlier but that’s good as we need rain.
This evening I drove down to Adams Station Apartments and voted. I then walked down to the library, wasted some time on the Internet and walked home. Little drizzle both ways but walking is so liberating. My ankle continues to get stronger. Watching the election results come in on my Smartphone.
Ordered a Bluetooth dongle to connect to my desk/camp speakers or truck. They are pretty cheap now, but I went for a $20 model that had better reviews. My truck can connect to my phone with Bluetooth but it only has Bluetooth 1.0 so the sound quality is low for podcasts much less music. The dongle is Bluetooth 4.0 for high quality audio and has a standard audio out to hook to my speakers or the audio in on my truck. As my phone has FM radio, I can also play and control the FM radio audio through my phone. I came across these dongles on Car and Track magazine, and when I saw the price, I said it was worth a try. I like playing music through my desk speakers at camp but wished I could still use my phone wireless. Now I will be able. Technology is cool.
I picked it up last week for $178. Here it is still in the box. It's a nice little 22LR, not the fanciest gun ever, but it is fun to shoot and doesn't kick much. Not that much has changed since it's been unboxed, although I did oil it up, after I left it my truck while camping the first night I had it and it started to rust. Marvelous gun metal.
