Good evening! Are you eating your veggies on this Eat Your Veggies Day? Otherwise it’s a rather humid afternoon with rather glarery sunshine. Partly to mostly cloudy and 79 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 9 mph. It is sticky with a dew point is 68 degrees. A rather sultry summer afternoon. 

Now I’m sitting out back with the fan blowing on my face, not doing much. I’m thinking about going down to the river to fish and then to the store for shopping but I’m a bit concerned that the bugs might be bad or that there would be a lot of people there partying with loud music like the last time I went down to the river e. 

The sun will set at 8:35 pm with dusk around 9:10 pm, which is 20 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for partly cloudy conditions and 77 degrees. The dew point will be 68 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 8 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, an increase of 13 seconds over yesterday.

Been a relatively quiet day, got my camping gear put away and did some cleaning. Got my hair cut, permanently wired up to the colored lights in my truck cap. This will free up the front  cigarette light port in my truck cap and make it easy to switch on and off. I plan to get a 12 volt laptop charger in July so I can efficiently charge my laptop when camping during summer vacation. I figure I will stop down to the Watkins Glen library several times when I’m vacation to post videos, photos and the alike. 

I decided not to go to the Gas Up today because I think the weather will be better tomorrow. I will try to leave relatively early because I’m thinking of seeing the exhibits, getting ice cream made by their antique engine and churn and then watching the parade at two. Hopefully they’ll still have ample ice cream come their final day. That’s why it’s important for me to get there early. 

Tonight will have scattered showers and thunderstorms before 8pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low of 68 degrees at 4am. 11 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 68 at 6pm. South wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. In 2016, it got down to 55 degrees with mostly sunny skies. The record low of 39 occurred back in 1958.

On this day in 1972, Five White House operatives are arrested for burgling the offices of the Democratic National Committee, in an attempt by some members of the Republican party to illegally wiretap the opposition. This would become the basis for the Watergate scandal.

Looking ahead, next Saturday is Latest Sunset of Year when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:12 pm. On that day in 2016, we had mostly sunny skies and temperatures between 83 and 53 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 80 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 1943.
