Always gets cold and dark fast this time of year. But it will still be nice to be back out in the wilderness in a week and a half.βΊ It seems like with work and the cloudy and rainy autumn, it’s just disappeared so quickly. 🍂
Busy day today at work. But things are getting done that need to get done. 💼 But I’m ready for it to be done, a good job that pays for after careful planning and action. On the blog, I fixed one more issue with the SSL change over, which wasn’t that difficult but still involved addressing many minor issues.
Looking forward not just to my road trip but my many electronics projects I’m planning for the winter. 📺 I’m not a big fan of soldering but I enjoy the coding and building interesting projects that serve my unique needs. I don’t like off the shelf things that don’t really serve my needs. But first some great nights in the wilderness next to the campfire. 🔥
In four weeks on November 26 the sun will be setting at 4:32 pm (Standard Time),🌄 which is one hour, 27 minutes and 23 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2017 on that day, we had rain, drizzle, cloudy skies and temperatures between 46 and 35 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 44 and 29 degrees. The record high of 67 degrees was set back in 1979.
Looking ahead, Veterans Day Observed (Monday) 🇺🇸 is in 2 weeks, Cyber Monday 🛍οΈ is in 4 weeks, New Years Eve 🎆 is in 9 weeks and 36th Birthday 🎉 is in 3 months.
Nine weeks to New Years Evening. That’s really surprising how fast the year is coming to a close. 🎇 One year closer to my life goals, one more year of saving and investing, working for a better tomorrow. And some great adventures that I enjoyed even if it’s been so wet and cloudy much of the summer.
