Being so dark and cloudy this morning 🌫️ I feel foggy myself, 🤯 but maybe it’s just a bad case of the Mondays. I have two online meetings today 📹 that I’ll do down at the library, making sure my laptops are charging 🔋 now as I doubt 🤷‍♂️ there will be much solar power. Not sure if we are going to get rain in Delmar, but who knows. It’s probably better to be home then in woods.

I am starting to think 🤔 I took the wrong weekend to go to Central New York but I don’t know. It was a good weekend to go out and enjoy the colors while they are still left 🍂, they are rapidly fading now as we head closer to November. I don’t have any plans now until mid November and with more days being back in the office 🏢 and less remote work 💻, it gets harder to take long weekends – plus I’m running low on vacation time. ⏳

On that day in 2019, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 33 and 19 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 42 degrees. We hit a record high of 67 back in 1933.
