John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.
Remarkably warm and nice for November. But alas I’ve been busy with work, but I have been trying to work outdoors as much as possible and will go down to the town park before dark.
Partly cloudy and 73 degrees in Delmar. ⛅ There is a south breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 22 mph 💨💨💨. The dew point is 58 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Wednesday around 3 am. ☃️
Been kind of a busy day with work leading up to Tuesday, 👨💻 but I’ve been able to either work from home or the library and automate things a bit to help out a bit. In the evening I will probably walk down to the park for a little while until dusk. I might also early vote today, although I’m thinking at this point I’ll probably just wait until Election Day. Probably be up really early on Election Day to see the Lunar Eclipse 🌒 and as such might be a good thing to vote in the morning.
If not for the rain on Sunday 🌦 this would have been the weekend to remote work on Friday and then had gone camping today, though truth be told I’d probably buy having to do a million work things like I have. Plus the library isn’t nearby where I camp so I’d be using more mobile bandwidth. 🤳 I’ll still probably end up burning up a lot of hot spot data but I’m not that concerned as it resets next weekend, and most evenings I just use my phone and leave my laptop in the office.
More clouds push in especially late on Saturday, but we trade that in for weather in the 70s and a low temperature of only 62 for the night. Right now it looks like we might have good weather for the lunar eclipse.
Saturday I probably will have to work part of the day — down at the library — but I also want to head out to Five Rivers before dark and go shopping and maybe wash my truck as it needs to be washed from last week. Been so busy, haven’t really had time for that. Sunday going out to the folks house for Sunday lunch, so I don’t have to drive home int the dark.
The real long range for Veterans Day Weekend doesn’t look real nice, but it’s my last time to get out camping before rifle season in the southern zone. Maybe I’ll do a trip in December but it depends how well my truck is working and whether or not I have to serve on a jury any particular week. I am on-call throughout the month of December for Jury duty after deferring both my state and federal jury until January and December respectively. I figure one way or another I’ll end up serving. I guess it’s my one chance to vote no and stand up to government abuse.

Maybe not as warm this morning 🌅 but we are still looking at 67 degrees by afternoon but it will cool down in the evening with the early sunset 🌇.
Out walking 🚶 the Plaza this morning but I am looking forward to next week when I can walk before work with the time change. While so far this week I’ve gotten my steps 👣 in every day and a little above what is absolutely necessary, I really prefer to walk in Delmar where things aren’t as dirty as the city.
Yesterday I thought about early voting after work 🗳 but I’m still really undecided. I almost feel like skipping this one out though I haven’t missed a election since 2010 primary. I have very mixed feelings about the major party candidates and voting third party is not an option unless I write one it. I have a lot of questions about my identity and what I believe these days.
