Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. 🐫 Let’s go chase that money 💵, New York! It’s another year and a big hill to climb until we make it through the year and into 2024. But given time and hard work it will get done.

Cloudy, dark. and 39 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫️ Calm wind.Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 3 am. ☃️

It’s back to the old ways of doing things 👨🏻‍💼 ironing my dress shirt and pants. And muzzle 😷 these days too. I need to get more dress shirts for the longest time I’ve been frustrated that I can’t order multiple colors and not pay extra shipping. 📦 I realize that the obvious solution is to get a whole set of gray shirts and just wear different color ties. As you push forty you care less about what other people think about you.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:01 pm with sun having an altitude of 24.7° from the due south horizon (-46.2° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 13.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:50 pm with the sun in the southwest (231°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (239°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:35 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 23 seconds with dusk around 5:07 pm, which is 56 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Full 🌝 Moon in the east-northeast (76°) at an altitude of 25° from the horizon, 249,037 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:43 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 43 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 14 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and one second over today.

So far my steps 👣 have remained on target 🎯 with 14,500 yesterday but today will be a challenge wearing session attire and taking the local with rain ☔ again this evening. But ultimately it’s averages that count not each day. 🥾 Making progress at breaking in the boots. The high ankes boots give a lot of support but will be warm come summer. Maybe I’ll buy a low ankle pair come summer to wear.

Tonight will have showers. 🌧 Low of 39 degrees at 8pm. 21 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 20th. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 28 degrees. The record low of -24 occurred back in 1904.

The spring like weather won’t last forever and at some point I’ll need the heat back on as the mercury heads down towards 32. ♨ Probably by the weekend. But I’d rather keep it cool not just to save money but because I’m more comfortable in the cold and it just lowers my future expectations.

Cloudy on Saturday ☁️, with a high near 40. Sunday, mostly sunny, ☀ with a high near 38. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Winnie the Pooh Day 🍯 when the sun will be setting at 4:52 pm with dusk at 5:21 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 34 and 22 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 32 degrees. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1973.
