Good morning! Happy Average High is 50 🍂! 😂 Fake news, in a few hours it will be 70 degrees. Three weeks to December. 🎄 Mostly sunny ☀ and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

A nice sunny ☀ morning. Out for my morning walk, enjoying the sunshine. 🚶🏻 I wish all days would be this nice but so be it. Unfortunately Tuesday is meeting day, so I will be going downtown later 🚍 for my sexual harassment training among other things. The air has a tinge of manure 💩 and wood smoke ☁️on it from the farm down the street wood furnace. To be expected in November. I do miss the pungent and sweet smell 👃🏻 of the silage in Madison County. 🐮

I need to run to the store to get more milk 🥛. I had enough for my first cup of coffee ☕ but I think I’ll want more for later on. I got groceries yesterday on my way to John Wolcott’s house for more history filming. 📼 I told him I might come over after work today assuming that I get done at a reasonable hour. 🕒

I bought a mid sized bottle of hand sanitizer 🖐🏻at Wally World. While I normally use prefer just soap and water 💦 hand sanitizer is good while camping and after shopping 🛒 should the pandemic get out of control again and you have to be afraid of touching shit. Last week I went to buy hand sanitizer and actually bought liquid soap. But I’m using that for washing dishes 🍴 and while camping. I don’t use biodegrade soap, it’s not hurting anything if you dispose waste water away from the creeks. No different than burning the plastic bottles. ♻

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 70 degrees at 2pm. 20 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 22nd. When there is no hope, there is a warm November day.

Saturday I’m heading out to Five Rivers 🐦 I think. Just a walk out there. Sunday doesn’t look really nice but I’ll go out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 🍲 I am going to see if I can download some GIS data to work on projects or get out my soldering iron.
