John Boyd Thacher State Park

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.

Daily Update – August 29, 2022

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again.

Back to work on this final Monday of August. Going to be a hot one, but I’ll be in my air conditioned office most of the day so it doesn’t matter. Then when I get home, I really need to stop beating around the bush and go shopping for food and gas for my big jacked up truck. I haven’t gotten gas since I was last in Watkins Glen on summer vacation, as I’ve mostly been staying home the past few weeks.

Partly sunny and 77 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 68 degrees. The muggy weather ends Wednesday around 3 pm. 😓

Camped over at folks house 🏡 last night. It was a nice night though hot and muggy enough I ran the fan all night long. ⚛

Today is truly a Monday. 🤪 The morning started out better two weeks ago when I almost hit a fawh 🦌 on my way back from my parents house 🏡 but the emails 📧 started rolling in at eight 8⃣ AM and then when getting on the bus 🚍 I accidentally dropped my phone 📱 trying to email and board the bus at the same time.

Fortunately my phone screen wasn’t damaged but I’ve ordered a replacement screen protector as the one I installed after getting my phone cracked and I took it off a few weeks ago. 🤳 Wake up call as they say. And here’s another email. What a headache work is these days. 🤯 At least I’m making good money, saving and investing it. Better days ahead.

Good morning! Happy Sunday.

I am surprised at what a cloudy start there is for this Sunday. Might be nicer out later though.

Mostly cloudy and 72 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 64 degrees. The skies will clear around 4 pm.

To make Schenectady easier to spell, I support using the English translation, “City Beyond the Pines”. 🌲🌲 🐦🦉 🦋🌲🌲

An obvious benefit – less Thruway signage needed, people will know when they are approaching their exit at least heading Westbound.

At least Schenectady is easier to spell than Skahnéhtati, the proper spelling.
