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 afternoon! Sunny and 77 degrees at the Bennett Hill Preserve. 🌞 There is a north breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 45 degrees.
Earlier today I participated in the National Trails Day event at Holt Preserve. 😊Now I’m hiking Bennett Hill on this beautiful but maybe a bit cool day for swimming day in June. 🏊 After working on the trails I went straight home and washed off with lots of soap 🚿 in hopes of avoiding getting poison ivy.

On this day in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy’s funeral takes place at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. 😔 Certainly a very different time back then.
I got the replacement hammock in the mail. It didnt come with straps so I’m using the straps from the other hammock. Seems fairly similar in construction but a third of the price. I’ll see how it works out. 😴
Fixed the display errors I sometimes get at home by resetting the microprocessor every full loop of the messages. ➿Seems to do the trick, simple enough, just one line of code. It could be a loose connection but I think it might also just be random glitches in the code.

Good morning! Today 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️. Two weeks to Last Day of Session 🏛. Maybe there is hope. Looking forward summer and getting out of town. But not this weekend. I noticed that there is still three weekends after this weekend in June so I’ll still have a chance to get out at least once in June. Hopefully once it warms up and the water isn’t so cold and the black flies are done. 🏊 The Mine Kill pool opens in two and half weeks on June 22nd.🏖 That could be a fun weekend, hiking in the Catskills, swimming, fishing, and camping up at Burnt-Rossman.
Partly cloudy and 61 degrees at the Elsmere. NY. ☁ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 2 pm. It was a pretty cloudy day but it seems like we’ve had some more clearing. Maybe it will be a day that is kind of gray with haze in the sky then a real cloudy and dark day, but I brought my umbrella — ran upstairs for it –which ensures no rain today.☔

I decided against getting a USB flashlight that I could charge in my truck, although it looks like there are lots of options. 🔦 I really have quite a bit of flashlights, and those LED flashlight batteries last quite a long time. I really should switch over to rechargable batteries though — I some mains have chargers around — and it looks like they make buck-converter based USB chargers or even 12 volt that I could use for easy plugging into my truck. Still haven’t decided on the hammock. Maybe tonight — as I sure would like to have it if I go camping next weekend, especially if I do end up going up to that site up in Perkins Clearing where I was on Labor Day last year.💤
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Last Day of Session 🏛 when the sun will be setting at 8:36 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm.

Typically, the high temperature is 79 degrees. We hit a record high of 94 back in 1995.
This evening I’m hoping to get out for my evening walk, but it all depends on the timing of the thunderstorms.⛈ I expect in two weeks I’ll be getting home earlier much more regularly. I really haven’t spent much time at the park after work, 📗 because I’ve either been at work or it’s been cold and rainy in the evening. 🏞
