Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. But so does the express bus 🚍 which makes for an easier commute. Partly clear and 27 degrees for the morning walk. 🌅 There is a northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️.
I heard something about a football 🏈 game on the radio 📻 this morning while listening to the BBC report on climate change and the ocean 🌎 which I found more interesting. Then I got up, reheated the coffee and pancakes 🥞. Saves so much time. I have actually no idea how long the game went on, but Walmart wasn’t crowded last night at 6 PM and I was in bed by 9 PM.
Great morning for the walk. 🚶 Lots of fresh crisp air with a slight taste of barnyard 🐮 on it. No sunrise yet but it’s coming. Mostly clear skies which is nice. Shower 🚿 and catch the express at 8:15 right from by home which is great. I will probably get off at the Plaza and walk over to the SOB where I work for some extra steps though I don’t have to if it looks like there is a lot of protestors at the Plaza. 👣 Tomorrow I might do my walk at 6:15 rather than a as there is quite a bit of daylight now in the morning. Then so breakfast second.
Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 48 degrees at 3pm. 13 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 22nd. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 21 degrees. The record high of 58 was set in 1900. 9.0 inches of snow fell back in 1893.❄
I’ve decided as part of my calorie reduction program 🍏 to focus on eating a minimum of 2-3 lb of fruits and vegetables a day. I’ve noticed already that with a more stable blood sugar levels and a full stomach that does more reduce calories than anything else. You look at the calories labels and you really can’t eat enough fruits and vegetables to get fat off them. 🤰🏼 Plus eating fruits and vegetables is far more fun than saying no, no matter what the puritans tell you. I am restocking the fruit bowl 🍊 today.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 39. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 47. Typical average high for the weekend is 37 degrees.
Now the question 🙋 for the weekend is where to go. I know many people would like me to go to hell but I already live and work there so I’m thinking more likely Schoharie or Madison County would be good. The horse 🐴 trails in Madison County would likely thought be muddy. I did really enjoy that trip.

Kind of chilly this evening with the wind 🌬️ but I’m out walking because that’s what I do in the evening. One of my eyes 👀 is a bit irritated and I’m tired 😴 as I didn’t sleep well last night as I was a bit bothered by the news of Ward Stone’s passing. The high cost of politics. I think it’s better to focus on making money 💵 and looking the other way as your community is going to shit.

Somebody brought in doughnuts 🍩 to work today and I walked right on by. Sugar is ducking poison ☠ I told myself and walked on by. I don’t need the free food, I’m not starving. Having that bowl of oranges, apples and bananas in my office really helps. 🍊🍎🍌 I eat a couple throughout the day whenever I’m hungry and I have a lot more energy. And if turns out it’s actually cheaper than eating bigger meals. 🍴 Pasta, frozen chicken, sauce seems cheap – if you buy in bulk but it’s not if you end up eating a ton of it, ignoring the health impacts. But if you’re eating fruits and vegetables all day long 🥦 you feel far less hungry. 🤰🏼

Saturday I’m thinking of sanding and painting that rust spot on my passenger door of my truck. Figure arrest the rust the best I can while I still can. 🛻🖌️ And maybe do an early morning walk 🚶 down to Norman’s Kills Falls.

Good morning! Firery red skies to the south east and 22 degrees for the morning walk. 🌅 Calm wind for now. ️Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️Then more rain. That should kill off most of the remaining snow.
Skies are certainly colorful for the morning walk 🚶 but it’s a sure sign of the coming clouds and rain. I will try to get as many steps as possible in before the rain, probably walking the Concourse and museum at lunch time so I have my ten k in without having to walk in the rain ☔.
Out walking by 6:30 which is good 🥞though it’s still to dark to walk before breakfast at six but maybe next week. I generally like walking earlier in the morning when it’s quieter out. Also if I walk first then I feel like time is less compressed in the morning. 🗜

There is a inch of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 pm. ☃️
Been trying to get an earlier start for the morning walk 🚶 just because it means less smoldering cars in front of High School 🚸 to breathe the toxic emissions and crazied motorists 🏎 around the High School. A quite dark morning with the clouds but going to clear later. Mild, I like that fact. I’m going to try to catch the earlier bus 🚍 downtown as I’m up earlier.
With the oranges 🍊 and bananas 🍌my fruit bowl looks nice at work. Provides good snacking throughout the day. 🍎 Now I just need to add apples.

I didn’t listen to the State of the Union last night. 🎤 I get tired of all that politician crap and my sleep 😴 is valuable if I want to produce best results at work tomorrow. From listening to NPR this morning I don’t think I missed much. Lex Fridman podcast was more interesting interviewing that pschyatrist.

Probably just a stay at home 🏡 weekend, Saturday walking 🚶 out to Five Rivers and Sunday Bennett Hill, maybe the Town Park 🏞 and out to see the folks. 🍲

Maybe you've seen the funny internet memes about high egg prices? Like the one where a guy gets on his knees to propose, but instead of a ring, he brings out a dozen precious eggs!
Well, egg prices have finally begun to decline. "We're seeing wholesale prices start to come down," says David Ortega, a food economist at Michigan State University. The wholesale price of a dozen eggs in the midwest market dropped by 58 cents to $3.29 a dozen at the end of January, according to USDA data.
Good evening! Can you believe another week has come and gone? I’m just glad we are done with the real cold for a while and I can turn down the heat and not freeze my butt off walking 🚶.
I find it hard to believe the first week of my forties has come and gone. 🎂 It was such an ordinary week, backgrounds and committee agendas, except for the carrot 🥕 cake they had for my birthday at the gang meeting. So sweet especially as I’ve cut almost all sugary substances out of my diet.
Mostly cloudy with filtered moon light and 38 degrees at the Delmar for the evening walk. ☁ There is a south breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing around 5 am. ☃️
TodayI walked 🚶 ten miles between my morning, evening walks and Bennett Hill and over two miles with my parents dog 🐶 and then Wally World. I got needles so I can fix the missing button on one of my dress shirts 🕴️and some more fruits and vegetables. I had plenty of pasta and juice 🥤 and stuff like that as I’ve really been cutting back with my calorie reduction program, splitting meals 🍴 into two and freezing to save money 💵 and improve health. Over 22,000 steps for the day. 👣
Tonight will be cloudy ☁, with a low of 31 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 30th. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light after midnight.

The record low of -20 occurred back in 1948.
Ended up buying 4 1/2 of bananas at Wally World. 🍌 I think I may have gone bananas. 🐒 But they were 53 cents a pound, which isn’t a good excuse for buying them, but I am trying to fit more healthy food into my diet, and bananas are a good snack, along with oranges, 🍊 which I brought into my office. Most of them were still green too, so they should be good all week. Started a compost container in the kitchen, as I don’t want to be dumping all those rhines in with kitchen burnables — they won’t burn well or at least I’ll want a hot fire 🔥 before the try to burn them. But I can probably take them out to my parents house for composting if I ask. I know I need to live out in the country and have hogs. 🐖
Watched a video about flossing your teeth better. 🦷 I have to admit I’ve not been good about flossing though I realize it’s not my fault as I doubt I was instructed as a child 🧒. While I don’t have soda or candy 🍬 at home and drink a lot of milk 🥛, I’m a bit horrified how many people I went to school with have teeth problems or missing teeth in their forties. Children of Appalachia really don’t get the dental care they need but that’s in a large part how shitty health care is in America. My teeth aren’t perfect – I resisted getting extra braces and skipped dentist visits for a decade after college 🎓 but they’re generally healthy bar some chips and that one filled cavity.
Been thinking about making an doctors appointment for a physical. 👨⚕️ While I think I am generally healthy, it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten a good check over. I haven’t had my blood pressure checked in a number of years, weighted or general check up. I guess the value is limited, but there is no cost for the yearly physical and maybe I will find a health issue early before it becomes a problem. In my forties, I’m trying to be healthier, so when I own my own land, I will be able to enjoy it. 🐷
Tonight will have a Full 🌝 Moon. Yeap, you can see it through the clouds.

I gassed up Big Red and gave him a bath. 🚿 The car wash was only four bucks as somebody left time on the machine which gave me time to pressure wash the under carriage. More big hunks of rust fell off, I need to paint the door it again. Going to spray WD 40 on it for the mean time. I was very low on gas ⛽ as I hadn’t fueled up since before the Madison County trip so its not that big of deal but it was $85 in fuel. I know yikes, when I’m trying to cut expenses. 🤯 My next truck will be smaller I think. 🚚 If I had a farm and had to move cattle – maybe someday – I’ll want a big truck but right now it’s fun but excessively expensive to operate for the things I do. 🤠
