Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Gotta make that money 💵 to save for a better tomorrow. Plus buy beer, ammunition and gasoline. Three weeks to Memorial Day 🇺🇸. Not that it feels like it. Cloudy, damp and 55 degrees ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 51 degrees. The skies will clear around 2 pm.

I caught the earlier local bus 🚍 to work today. I was up so I figured I might as well get in the office early. 🏢 No sun now but they are still promising it later. I don’t know about you but I’m tired of all these cloudy, rainy days. Not sure how long the day will be but I’m hoping to get over to Finger Lakes wine night 🍷 for a while this evening. I don’t drink much anymore so it won’t take much free booze to have my share. Tomorrow is mock session so I’ll probably get out at five o’clock tomorrow.

Today will have a slight chance of showers before 10am. Cloudy, then gradual clearing during the afternoon 🌞, with a high of 71 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 20th. Maximum dew point of 51 at 7am. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 1930. There was a dusting of snow in 1994.❄

The sun will set at 8:01 pm with dusk around 8:32 pm, which is one minute and 6 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 66 degrees. The dew point will be 46 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 21 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers after 3am. Partly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 53 degrees at 4am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 2nd. Maximum dew point of 47 at 6pm. South wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had light rain in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 50 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1874.

I was thinking more about the weekend and I’m thinking about camping ⛺ up at the campsites near Stewart Landing and then driving down to Little Falls on Saturday. Sunday I could hike some of the upper Glassco Mills trail. 🚶 Never been back that way. I probably wouldn’t bother with bringing my kayak as the water is still pretty cold.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Memorial Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:22 pm with dusk at 8:56 pm. On that day in 2018, we had rain showers, partly sunny and temperatures between 68 and 54 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 73 degrees. We hit a record high of 94 back in 1914.

I’m still thinking about the East Branch of the Sacandaga for Memorial Day Weekend. ⛺ But only if the weather is decent and not too ungodly hot although I bet I could find a good swimming hole or two in the East Branch. 🏊 I wonder how much those campsites fill up? I’m thinking mid June heading up to Perkins Clearing lest I’m on call 📞 and I need to do work from camp. I can call my clients from the hammock with my cowboy hat on. 😎 Plus that site is nice and open so I would get a lot of Solar power. ☀
