Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Next Saturday is 50th Gas Up in Gallupville. Mostly cloudy and 63 degrees in Westerlo. There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. The dew point is 42 degrees. The skies will clear around 1 pm. Not a really nice morning but having a nice breakfast with the family. 

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly before noon. Partly sunny, with a high of 67 degrees at 4pm. Eight degrees below normal. Northwest wind 11 to 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had rain, mostly cloudy skies and a high of 79 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1925.

The sun will set at 8:28 pm with dusk around 9:02 pm, which is 43 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for partly cloudy conditions and 61 degrees.

As previously noted, next Saturday is 50th Gas Up in Gallupville when the sun will be setting at 8:33 pm with dusk at 9:07 pm. On that day in 2016, we had mostly sunny skies and temperatures between 74 and 47 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 77 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 2008.

Getting my oil changed this morning and having breakfast with my parents and niece. Not sure what I’m going to do later, I have some stuff to do around home and then maybe if it clears out I might go hiking or camping. Toying with the idea of camping up at that little known lean to on Harvey Mountain. I don’t know, it’s still fairly cloudy at this point. I’m also not sure if I want to drive that far as I hate driving on the expressway. 

Adding to my growing flag collection, I bought a Gay Pride, rainbow flag. It is gay pride month. I like color and celebrating diversity. I just wish people om the political extremes would be more tolerant of people who are different then themselves. 

Cleaned up that plastic box I found on the street earlier this week and it will be perfect for camping. I found that it even fits my pots and pans and will help keep things much more organized for camping. I think I will keep some of my kitchen supplies in it and leave it in the kitchen so I have less to unpack after camping each week. 

That said, my kitchen needs a good cleaning. Maybe this afternoon or tomorrow. I don’t know how it got so dirty but everything could use a good scrub. 

Enjoy your Saturday, hopefully weather will get better before long!
