October 12, 2020 Night

Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a east-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear tomorrow around 8 pm.

Busy day at work, 💼 spent most of the day working down at the public library at various projects. The wi-fi was quite reliable and fast today and the weather was comfortable – not hot or cold for working. Spent most of the day there.

Somehow I’ve misplaced my headphones 🎧and while I’ve been looking for them today will need to do more digging around tomorrow. They probably fell between the seat 💺 of the truck 🚚 or somewhere else. I figured in the morning there will be more light to find them.

For some reason my kitchen stinks of carburetor cleaner. 👃🏻 I think the rusty can must have leaked. Pungent. I opened the windows and will avoid doing anything that could light a spark ✨ tonight. Hopefully things won’t go bang. 💥 I thought it was at first something my neighbor was painting 🎨 out back but I’m pretty sure it’s a leak in the rusty aerosol can.

I went over to John Wolcott house and did over two hours recording the documentary. 🎞️ Definitely captured some interesting conversations with Jerry who has known Mr. Wolcott for a very long time.
