Good morning! Happy Sunday. ⛪Next Sunday is Regular Time 🛥️. That means another perfectly good hour to waste. Does that mean I get burn it? 🔥 Maybe the weather will be nice enough for me to go camping. ⛺ Heavy rain and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the southeast 🌬 with gusts up to 29 mph 💨💨💨. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 4 am. ☃️

Feeling better today for the most part. ☺ Maybe not perfect but not aching or as sore as yesterday. A bit of congestion but hardly sick as I was only a few days ago. Slept in a bit today and will try to get to bed by 9 pm tonight. 🕘 Going to be wet so if my neighbor is or I’ll probably ride the exercise bike 🚲 for a while to get some exercise in. I do need to get some YouTube videos to watch, maybe when I’m at my parents house later for Sunday dinner. 📹

Today will rain. 🌧 Going to pick up midday so be aware then stop later on. 💦 High of 52 degrees at 2pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 5th. Maximum dew point of 50 at 3pm. 🏖️ Southeast wind 11 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 43 degrees. The record high of 79 was set in 1963. 1.7 inches of snow fell back in 2016.❄ I don’t remember that storm, we just had rain when I was in the old North Syracuse, a town most famous for the Plank Road that is just asphalt these days and mostly bypassed by Interstate 81.

Continuing to go through my pictures from Dolly Sods 📷 and have been wore on organizing some of the files 📂 on my computer 💻. I finally got around this morning to fixing the missing screw on the old hard drive and reformatting it so I can move some of my videos and other less speed critical stuff ⏳ like videos I’m just playing back or music files. I mean I got have to mean I have to have places to put my Dick Curless records 🎸 and videos of folks combining farm fields. 🚜

Heading out to the folks house 🏡 for Sunday dinner 🍲. Apparently they have the same cold that I have. Hopefully they are feeling better. I wonder if they got it from me or I got it from them. Hard to say, it’s not like I spent much time in their house while I was there housing their dog 🐶.

I still haven’t had a chance to Early Vote ❎ but I want to think a bit more about a few of the candidates 💭 and will vote after dinner on Monday. I bet that will be a relatively quiet time at the polling place. Just have to be on line in the polling place by 8 pm but I’ll try to be there closer to seven. I don’t think poll workers like to have to work late.

The sun will set at 5:55 pm with dusk around 6:24 pm, which is one minute and 25 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain to be tapering off 🌧 and temperatures around 52 degrees. The dew point will be 50 degrees. There will be a southeast breeze at 8 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 32 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 39 seconds over yesterday.

Yesterday was quite a nice. 🗻 I wish th sun ☀ could have stayed out a little longer while I was at the tower but there was still a decent amount of color up there. It was not a mistake to head home after hiking – it would have been a pretty wet morning for taking down camp ⛺ and I would have to unpack this morning. Plus I had no idea how I would have felt by morning.

Tonight will be scattered showers, mainly before 9pm. Patchy fog after 2am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 48 degrees at 4am. 12 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 25th. Northwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 41 degrees. The record low of 18 occurred back in 1974.

I got to think about getting Big Red inspected now that’s its November. 🔍 My tires will pass inspection this year but probably not next year. ⚫ Not sure if need an oil change I should check Big Red’s DIC. I did add a half quart of oil which is not unreasonable consumption over two thousand miles. Been doing a lot of travel.

Governor Ronald Reagan in 1964 delivers a speech on behalf of the Republican candidate for president, Barry Goldwater. 💬 The speech launches his political career and comes to be known as “A Time for Choosing”.🏯 Politics is such silly business but it pays good and beats shoveling shit for little money. 💰 Plus now I get to go home now from my new windowless office at five each day now.

As previously noted, next Sunday is Daylight Savings Time Ends 🛥️ when the sun will be setting at 4:46 pm with dusk at 5:15 pm (Standard Time). On that day in 2018, we had rain and temperatures between 57 and 41 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 53 degrees. We hit a record high of 75 back in 1990.
