Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Two weeks to Day After Election Day 🛀. I’ve already decided to Early Vote after work on Monday to get ‘r dun. For all the hoopla over elections it all about filling in a half dozen bubbles on a scantron. ☑ Partly sunny and 53 degrees at the CDTA Bus Stop #10595. There is a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. After a fairly rainy night turned out to be a pretty nice morning.

Woke up fairly achy and sore 😩and my sinus is plugged. I doubt it’s from the mold at home this time, I haven’t spent much time there lately. I was thinking about getting my flu shot 💉 tonight before going to the Guilderland Planning Board meeting and getting groceries but it depends on how I feel later. I was going to check the tick bite to see if there is a bullseye 🎯 but I keep forgetting when I’m by the mirror at home. At least now that I won’t be commuting back and forth to Westerlo life won’t be so crazy.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 63 degrees at 3pm. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 9th. Maximum dew point of 48 at 9am. West wind 9 to 11 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became partly cloudy by afternoon. The high last year was 59 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 1947. 0.5 inches of snow fell back in 2002.❄

The sun will set at 6:01 pm with dusk around 6:30 pm, which is one minute and 30 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 Last night with a sunset after six until mid March. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 57 degrees. There will be a west breeze at 8 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 43 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 42 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 38 degrees at 5am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 22nd. South wind around 6 mph. In 2018, we had partly cloudy skies. It got down to 37 degrees. The record low of 16 occurred back in 1969.

Today in 1973, President Richard M. Nixon agrees to turn over subpoenaed audio tapes of his Oval Office conversations.📼 Only then would the world find out about the 18 minute gap that has never been found.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 55. Sunday, rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Typical average high for the weekend is 56 degrees.

I think I’ve come to the conclusion that this weekend I will stay in town. 🏡 I got lots of things to do this weekend around so I don’t think I’ll miss being home. It’s been a busy few weeks with vacations and then house sitting at my parents house. Saturday looks like it will be nice. Maybe Sunday l’ll go over to John Wolcott house. He’s a really good organizer, very persistent.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Day After Election Day 🛀 when the sun will be setting at 4:42 pm with dusk at 5:12 pm (Standard Time). On that day in 2018, we had drizzle showers, cloudy and temperatures between 54 and 44 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 52 degrees. I remember that well, driving 🚘 back from North Syracuse. We hit a record high of 73 back in 2015.
