Good evening! The Thanksgiving holiday weekend has arrived. Rain showers and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 10 pm. ☃️

Continuing to work on the updated blog theme some more. ✒ Continuing to research how to repair my camp lantern, 🏮 I’m going to try to take it apart tomorrow and see if I can clean whatever is clogged with dirt and carbon. Rode the exercise bike for a while, watched some YouTube videos. Kind of a rainy night, no evening walk 🚶 for me.

Tonight will have showers likely, mainly before midnight. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 40 degrees at 5am. 12 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 15th.

I’m really leaning against heading out camping this weekend after seeing the latest snow ⛄ models but I’ll reevaluate if I can get two nights out camping. ⛺ It just seems like once again a lot of money is going out 💵 and not much coming in so from a financial standpoint might be good to stay home 🏡. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day at the folks 🍗 but a few days home wouldn’t be too bad.
