Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 39 degrees in North Syracuse, NY. Calm wind.The skies will clear tomorrow around 9 am. Kind of a cool night with a a dusting of snow possible by morning. Thursday morning may have freezing rain in the morning so be prepared. 

It was a good day. Hoping to get the adapter tomorrow so I can get get my files back. If luck has it, I’ll be able to boot off the USB, and have my full system back only slower. I resolved I will have to replace the laptop but I will get something with more memory so I won’t run out when I have many windows open. I’ll have to see about making maps, but that should work as it did years ago.

Still need to decide on my November trip but now leaning towards Western NY and Pennsylvania. Still need to do the brakes and rotate the tires on my truck, maybe next week.
