Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Three weeks to Summer unless you are a metrologist then it’s tomorrow 🏛. May 2020 has come and gone. Facebook friends tell me Monday is actually June but what do I know. Partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 56 degrees. Much cooler than yesterday.

I don’t think my do it myself hair cut 💈 was that bad, I mean at least it’s a lot shorter and cooler feeling. I just keep pounding away at it with the shaver and the 1/4 inch guide. I’ve also chopped away at some of the big sticking up parts with scissors ✂ and around the ears. 👂 I did cut it a bit short on my forehead and I’m sure its a mess in the back but it’s sure nice being a heck of a lot shorter. Side burns are gone, goatee is short too. Will I buzz it even shorter? Maybe, I just don’t want a lot of bald scalpe showing and I don’t want the blade to dig in but it’s possible. I just don’t see my old barber 💈 shop opening anytime soon. I’m sure my barber is going to throw in the towel and honestly I’m no fan of wearing a mask 🎭 to get my hair cut or having to schedule a set appointment. So buzz cut it will be for now. I was totally inspired Southern Onondaga County Dairyman Andy Hourrigan’s YouTube channel with his short hair. 🐮 I bet his 1,700 cows don’t care how pretty his hair is while he’s hauling manure and silage. 🌽

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 78 degrees at 2pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 14th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 7am. Northwest wind 8 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1987.

Today I have to shopping. 🍏 I can’t avoid it anymore. Maybe bird watching at Schodack Island and then Aldi. 🍏 One thing I discovered from my cutting and shaving adventures today is that I definitely need more razors.
