Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Despite the dark morning, I’m up and going. 🌧️ I think it’s a pay week, so good motivation to get going. 💵 Plus next week we get to sleep 😴 in one more hour with the time change. 🕒 Five weeks to Cyber Monday 🛍️ and Beaver Moon 🌕. Rain showers and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌧️ There is a southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 8 pm. ☃️

Kind of a chilly, wet morning but I woke up early and got some coffee ☕ going. A very dark for one more Monday until we set the clock back for extra daylight in the morning but very dark evenings 🌃 ahead. Happens every year. That’s called changing the way time, something all the cranks hate but I don’t like going to work in the dark. 🐮 I had to walk to the store this morning to get milk 🥛 for the coffee. One benefit to living in the land of the suburbanite.

It’s a rainy morning ☔ with the drizzle but I’m out for my morning walk🚶‍♂️because I didn’t get out last night. One advantage to walking in the rain, no joggers 🧜‍♀️to run you over.

Soon I expect to be working downtown every day, so on days I don’t have to wear my suit 👨🏻‍💼, I hope to be taking the express bus 🚌 downtown. The walk to the park and ride 🚏helps to clear my mind. Plus, it’s a one stop trip from the Park and Ride to the Emperors Plaza. 🚄 On a nice day, the views of the mountains and Plaza are nice.

I am looking at the weekend forecast 🔭 🌞 but the real question 🙋🏻‍♂️ is when will the rain and snow 🌨 depart on Friday and how truly cold ❄ will it be for camping if I go out to Brookfield and do some small game hunting 🐿 🔫 and enjoying the woods. 🐎🌲🌲🌲
