Good evening. Currently there are a few clouds and breezy as the sun sets with 37 degrees in Albany. Another nice sunset as the days get longer Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 20. Northwest wind 8 to 13 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Late tonight we will have a Waining Crescent Moon with 15% illuminated. It will rise at 4:55 am.

A pretty nice sunset for sure tonight. The bus driver is really flying tonight, weaving in and out of traffic, so hopefully I’ll be home sooner than later. I’m tired, it’s been a long week. I’m glad the weekend is here and it’s going to be a nice one.

Saturday will be partly sunny, with a high near 41. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning. For Sunday look for mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Southwest wind 6 to 8 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Should be a nice weekend for the first weekend of February.

Going to do an oil change tomorrow morning and then may go to Schodack Island State Park and do some hiking into the afternoon. Do it first thing then I won’t forget about it and will mean I have fresh oil in the engine. Probably need to do some grocery shopping but other than that I don’t have any big plans for the weekend. It’s winter I concede.

I thought a bit about heading up to the Adirondacks but money is kind of tight and the skies are expected to be pretty gray up north. Pay day is Tuesday evening but I have to pay my credit card tonight. Big bill this month unfortunately. I should add doing my taxes to the list.
