June 24, 2019 Night
Good evening! Partly cloudy and 72 degrees in Delmar. β Calm wind. The dew point is 59 degrees. Certainly feels warmer than that in my bedroom that lacks air conditioning. The skies will clear tomorrow around 5 pm.
It was warm in my bedroom and I was tired so I took a nap when I got home. I disassembled the camp stove trying to find the propane leak on the burner. π₯ Not a where the leak is but I may end up replacing the burner as I noticed the pan around the one burner is rusted out and maybe negative pressure is sucking propane into the bottom of the stove stove. I don’t think it’s just a loose connection. I’ll price out a burner on Ebay and Amazon tomorrow. Still debating on how to fix the table, I like the melted plastic option – recycling old milk bottles but I’m not sure if I can heat the plastic without accidentally burning it. I also don’t want to wreck a pan melting the plastic in it and then not be able to scrape it out. Bondo is another option, although I heard you need a speciality plastic filler and thick Bondo often cracks. Melted plastic is more durable and it reuses trash that I’ve already paid for. A fiber glass and epoxy patch is another option.
Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly after 5am. Mostly cloudy π§, with a low of 67 degrees at 3am. Eight degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 62 at 6am. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph.

Tomorrow I’ll head over to John Wolcott house after work π and continue with his history project. I also have will stop at the library and vote. β Wednesday I’ll get my hair cut β and drop off the dry cleaning before work. That’s also when I’ll go shopping after work for the basics. After work Thursday is the Pine Bush Hike I’m leading.

Typical average high for the weekend is 81 degrees.
I could see going out to Schoharie County βΊ this weekend or maybe not. It’s something that I can decide early Saturday. I’m not ready for a big trip to the Adirondacks this weekend though again so soon especially with Independence Day Weekend a week from Thursday. I have both that Thursday and Friday off for a long weekend which is nice. π I do want to have the camp stove reassembled by then and maybe the table patched, although I could do the later when I’m up at camp.
