Good evening! Mostly clear and 75 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 66 degrees. The muggy weather ends Monday around noontime. 😓 Kind of a warm evening although I’m not sure if its as humid as it claims. Maybe I’ll feel differently when I head upstairs and retire to bed. Very comfy out back next to the fan.

Tonight I went to the Guilderland Town Board meeting to hear a status update on the proposed Rapp Road apartment complex. 🏢 I was surprised to learn that the town is requiring a full environmental impact statement – last year only 200 projects state wide got full EIS last year.🌲Good news for the Pine Bush although there is much to happen. Then I went and got German Chocolate cake and soda at the Capitol Dinner which was very good. 🍰 They’re pricey but good.

Heading over to John Wolcott house to help him with his history project after work tomorrow. 📂 Down to the the final box of Albany history. Some good stuff in there and a lot of mundane things to. Friday evening I’m working on a research project for Save the Pine Bush🀼/strong>󜡡t the library mostly digitizing tax maps and other fun stuff. Then Saturday I’m heading out to Schoharie for an overnight.

I was thinking this evening, if I want to camp in Painter Run in Pennsylvania, ⛺ I should reach out to the PA DCNR tomorrow to ensure that I get the permit in a timely fashion and can get it printed up before I head out on vacation. I haven’t been back there in years but I can’t imagine it’s changed much since then.
