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.

With the heat and humidity expected today, it’s going to be a hot one.
Partly sunny ☀ and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees. A lot of haze this morning with the humidity though it’s helping to keep things a bit cooler to start out the day.
Out for my morning walk 🚶 around 6:30 before it gets really hot. 😰 After breakfast I will head to Walmart and I need to get an apartment key 🗝 made as I broke my one the other day.
Yesterday I took the Nature Bus 🚍 out to Thatcher Park 🏞. It was a nice day with a good breeze. I like the Nature Bus not just because it’s free but also it puts you on a set schedule, otherwise I know I would end up not getting such an early start. I go wish I had stayed until the last bus at 6:20 though that’s kind of a long day. Hiked the Bear Trail and the loop around back, then read 📖 for a couple of hours.
Got the laptop battery 🔋 I ordered in the mail and had it installed in ten minutes. It’s good as the old battery wasn’t holding any charge and would shut off as soon as unplugged. The replacement was only $20 for a generic battery, as I wasn’t going to get an OEM battery as my laptop is nearly seven years old now and quite beat up. 💻
Been working on processing weather data 🌤️ in R studio for making maps – specifically maps of current temperature and dew point using raster interpolation and extraction. Seems silly but there is a lot of useful projects I can do with the technique in R.
Heading out to the parents house for Sunday dinner later. 🍽️ Kind of a hot and sticky day but maybe later this evening I’ll hike Bennett Hill to get my steps 👣 in for the day.
Summer vacation is a week and a half away. 🏖 Should be a nice, quiet trip once you I get my truck repaired on Friday. 🛠 I don’t plan a very adventurous vacation, although at least gas prices ⛽ have backed down somewhat in recent weeks. I want to leave early on that Friday. Looking forward to getting away.

Sun is bright and warm this morning. Not a whole lot of breeze. It certainly could be a lot more humid and will be come Sunday.
Mostly sunny and 65 degrees at the Downtown Albany. ☀ Calm wind. The dew point is 57 degrees.
Two weeks from now I should be well on my way to the Finger Lakes. 🏖 I want to leave early so I can start setting up camp by noon ⛺ and have the campsite I want for both weekends. As much as I hate driving that highway between Sidney and Ithaca with gas prices I want to take the most direct route.
Partly sunny🌤️ humid 💦and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Calm wind. The dew point is 61 degrees.
We got a little bit of much needed rain last night 💧enough to make things real humid but probably not enough to make up much for the rain deficit. I did get wet waiting for the bus 🚏at nine o’clock yesterday evening though it wasn’t a pouring rain.
Decided to head out walking 🚶 at six 6⃣ am as it’s good to get a jump on the day, especially if it’s expected to be a hot one with the humidity. Lately my record on daily steps 👣 has lagged a bit so I’m trying to up my game.
I scheduled my truck service 🛠 for a week from Friday so hopefully I can fix the noise I’m hearing to restore my sanity and have a trouble free vacation. ☺️ I dragged my feet too long on this but it needed to get done.
I’m off that first week of August and the last Friday of July. 🏖 The plan is to leave early that Friday before the morning rush hour, go straight to the Finger Lakes and set up the campsite I want for the full week. That way it’s one campsite ⛺ in theory to set up and take down for the week. I’ll set up a tent for changing and storing dirty clothes and other miscellaneous gear.
