Good evening! Absolutely pouring rain, wind and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔It reminds me of a thunderstorm like you would have mid summer than a March rain storm. There is a south-southwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 24 mph 💨💨💨. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 2 am. ☃️

About an hour ago I thought about going out for a walk 🚶 as the rain had stopped but I ultimately decided against it probably for good reason as I probably would have gotten soaked. I didn’t ride the exercise bike 🚲 as my neighbor was home as he works night shift Thursday through Saturday.

Work continues on the blog code update 📝 but every time I fix something I find more rot in the code. Often I find that years ago I wrote things in a way that isn’t future 🔮 proof and I ended up extending old broken code that just becomes more and more spaghetti with more if then statements.

I didn’t get to the store tonight 🏪 but I may go tomorrow. I might also go to Glenmont to wash my truck. 🚙 It was a kind of wet night and I wasn’t sure how much salt on the roads and who wants to drive in the dark and heavy rain? Although it wasn’t raining much earlier – well except for the evening commute 🚍.
