Good evening! Mostly clear and 44 degrees in Delmar. There is a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. . I went for my evening walk, it was pretty cool.
After my evening walk I sat back and watched a movie or two, that I had downloaded from the YouTube. I was was watching more of Shaun James My Self Reliance channel and then something about agriculture that I already forgot about.
In all the long weekend was a bust but I was glad to get away from the city for a bit to spend a few days in the Adirondacks. The summer is not yet over, so there is still a chance for some adventures. This year I’m thinking of trying some different things and go new places as change prolongs time. Doing the same thing over and over again caches things making things go by quickly. I’m not ready for Winter 2019-20 yet. Summer should drag on for a bit.
Tonight will have areas of frost after 4am. Otherwise, mostly clear , with a low of 34 degrees at 6am. Eight degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 7th. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming light after midnight. In 2018, we had light rain. It got down to 38 degrees. The record low of 27 occurred back in 1947.
Tonight will have a Waning Crescent Moon with 21% illuminated. The moon will rise at 3:49 am. The New Moon is on Friday night with showers is likely. The Flower Moon is on Friday, May 17th. The sun will rise at 5:53 am with the first light at 5:22 am, which is one minute and 25 seconds earlier than yesterday. Tonight will have 9 hours and 59 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 32 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have areas of frost before 8am. Otherwise, increasing clouds after a sunny start to the day , with a high of 59 degrees at 5pm. Five degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 17th. Light and variable wind. A year ago, we had partly cloudy in the morning, which became cloudy by afternoon. The high last year was 50 degrees. The record high of 88 was set in 1888. 1.0 inches of snow fell back in 1885.
Next weekend looks like it might be perfect weather-wise. Next Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 62. Maximum dew point of 42 at 6am. Next Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 64. Maximum dew point of 42 at 8pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 66 degrees. I’ll take it. We will see how it works out.
My aunt is coming up from Arizona, so I’m going to stick in town this weekend. It’s rather unfortunate we couldn’t have had this forecast the previous week. Maybe the following weekend I’ll head back to the wilderness. But before you know it, black fly season will be upon us.
I started looking at fixing up my bicycle . Bikes are really a fast and easy way to get around the city. Certainly much better than motoring. Buses are great but bikes go many places buses don’t go. The big thing I need for my bike is a new rear wheel with tougher spokes. Always seem to break spokes on it. I also need to fix some parts on the derailer too. I’m sure it can be done, I really need to get a good manual then get on ebay or Amazon for parts. Certainly having a good bike is key if I’m thinking of going carless for a few years after I get rid of Big Red sometime in the early to mid 2020s. I’m really tired of fossil fuel motoring and all the fees and costs surrounding motoring. Not to mention the many worries. Bicycling would be so much better for my health and so many of my friends and colleagues now are going motor free.
In four weeks on May 26 the sun will be setting at 8:21 pm, which is 29 minutes and 19 seconds later then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had hot, mostly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 89 and 60 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 72 and 50 degrees. The record high of 94 degrees was set back in 2010.
Looking ahead, Cinco de Mayo is in 1 weeks, Mothers Day is in 2 weeks, Fathers Day is in 7 weeks, National Nude Day is in 11 weeks, Sunset Before 7:30 PM is in 18 weeks, Autumn is in 21 weeks and Average High is 60 is in 24 weeks.
Wednesday through Friday was my spring camping trip up to the East Branch of the Sacanadaga River. It was nice to get out there, but like so many of my trips lately, I have to wonder if they are worthwhile. It’s not like it’s my first time up there, and while it was the first time I made it to the end of the East Branch Gorge Trail and fully explored Fox Lair, it seems like an awful lot of work for not a lot of reward.
Packing – shopping – driving – unpacking all go into making the trip a success. Which except for the rain on Friday was pretty good, but these trips do cost a lot of money, and I’m kind of bored with camping. I should investigate other alternatives — new things to do, new things to see. I guess I had a good time, but I’m ready for something new. But I just need to figure out what that new thing is.
After getting my change of polling place card in the mail yesterday I was curious about Early Voting going forward, as that would be a convenient option for me to do taking a bus over to the Board of Elections from work. I was really surprised how many changes are coming to elections in New York starting this year but ramping up in 2020.
Good morning! Happy Sunday. Next Sunday is Cinco de Mayo . Rain and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. I feel a bit congested this morning, I think it’s mostly due to the weather. The skies will clear around 5 pm.
Another bad weather day. No rain just a lot of clouds. Maybe more rain later on. Riding the exercise bike for a while and I should probably get some milk at the store before the rain returns. That way I can have some . Then after breakfast I will take a shower , get cleaned up and go to the store to buy a few things for the week. I never got my jacket to the dry cleaner. Maybe this week. Or maybe I should just use the dry cleaner at the Plaza as then I wouldn’t have to drive there.
Today will have showers likely, mainly between 11am and 3pm. Cloudy , with a high of 50 degrees at 4pm. 14 degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around March 29th. Northwest wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy in the morning, which became cloudy by afternoon. The high last year was 68 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1990. There was a dusting of snow in 1966.
The sun will set at 7:52 pm with dusk around 8:22 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for partly clear skies and temperatures around 48 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 59 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 33 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will have areas of frost after 3am. Otherwise, mostly clear , with a low of 34 degrees at 4am. Eight degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 7th.

However, capitalistic motives associated with journalism have forced much of today's television news to look to the spectacular, the stirring, and the controversial as news stories. It's no longer a race to break the story first or get the facts right. Instead, it's to acquire good ratings in order to get advertisers, so that profits soar.
