Good morning! Happy Average High is 50 🍂 !

If you don’t believe it, Monday represents halfway through the month of November, although let’s be honest, I’m sure the oldies station has already switched to Christmas music and the advertisers are busy hawking the remaining colorful plastic crap on their largely empty shelves, the stuff that makes such black smoke when you burn it as any true Pennsylvania redneck will tell you.

Mostly clear and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-southwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Tuesday around 2 am. ☃️

I am continuing to get up at 5 AM each morning, 🌞 as I have yet to set my clock back. Maybe it’s too early, but I like having the extra time each morning, and just going to bed really early. Now that I’m home with electric light and not so much cold, that is if I am not so damn cheap and refuse to turn up the thermostat much, maybe I’ll end up staying later then I have over the past week when I got up early to maximize the days with limited daylight on vacation.

I am just trying to come to grips with returning back to the more normal life, 👨‍💼 like the upcoming 5-day work week, my rundown old apartment that is really musty after being closed up for a week, and just all the other crap I have to deal with like getting my truck inspected, and those darn tires installed. It was kind of nice to forget about it for a week. At least it’s a lot warmer and drier inside then it was the last day of camping with all the rain and stuff.

I am hoping to get out of town on Black Friday, aka the Buy Nothing Day after Thanksgiving 🦃 but at lot depends on the weather. But I can see how the days have gotten so much shorter, the weather colder and I’m sure snow will be on it’s way sooner then later, although the deep snow usually doesn’t occur until January. But who knows.
