Good morning! Happy Cinco de Mayo 🤠! Next Sunday is Mothers Day 👩‍. Frank Zappa’s favorite holiday. Usually a rainy day for the tulip festival, which last year I spent in the office. 🌷 Even more clouds with times of rain and 53 degrees in Delmar. ☔ Calm wind. The sun ain’t going to shine anymore. We’ll except late Monday when I have to work. Thanks Trump! If people like me hadn’t voted for Jill Stein we would sunny and 80 people promise me. The dew point is 49 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 2 pm.

I made biskets up for breakfast 🍳 and now I’m riding on my exercise bike 🚲. Shortly I’ll take a shower 🚿 and go to the store. I really do need to go shopping as all I could find to eat yesterday was soup and that box of ice cream 🍦.

Then I’ll probably head out to my parents house for Sunday dinner. 🍝With the weather so shitty I’ll probably want to get back home before it gets too dark out. I’m hoping the rain will stop for my evening walk. 🌃

Today will have a chance of rain. Cloudy 🌧, with a high of 58 degrees at 1pm. Eight degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 15th. It’s like tax day all over again. Just taxing. Maximum dew point of 53 at 3pm. Light and variable wind becoming north around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy in the morning, which became mostly sunny by afternoon. The high last year was 76 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1944. There was a dusting of snow in 1900.❄

The sun will set at 8:01 pm with dusk around 8:31 pm, which is one minute and 7 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 55 degrees. The dew point will be 51 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 14 hours and 16 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 24 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 11pm, then a slight chance of sprinkles after 1am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 49 degrees at 4am. Five degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around May 21st. Light east wind. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2018, we had mostly sunny in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 54 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1969.

The weather just sucks this weekend. I’m hopeful for better weather next weekend. I guess we pay the price for the nice hot weather we had last May for a cold one this year. 😎 At least I’m saving miles and fuel ⛽ which means I’m saving for future trips or my eventual future.

I am still super frustrated 😤 about the Bluetooth modules for the various lights in my bedroom not linking but it’s not such a big deal this time of year with the sun being up fairly early. I’ll figure it out and I can always order a few more as they are only a few bucks a piece especially direct from China on Ali Express. Some times electronics projects can be frustrating.

Friday after the jobs news 📰, I looked at my investments and they are doing great. But I’m also ready for the next recession 📉 and watching fifty thousand in imaginary money disappear. 💸 To have ups you got to have downs. But I have time. Retirement and a even buying land is a while off for me. The good economy can’t last forever and by living minimally today one can be prepared for the tougher times ahead. I figure it’s 1969 in America’s economy. Oil will be cheap until it ain’t.

As previously noted, next Sunday is Mothers Day 👩‍ when the sun will be setting at 8:07 pm with dusk at 8:39 pm. On that day in 2018, we had cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 50 and 48 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 68 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 1881.
