I promise there are more maps and interesting content coming, especially as the temperatures start to drop and I spend more time at home. In the winter, I spend a lot more weekends at home, so I will have more time to work on the blog. I will keep looking on state’s websites and federal government data centers to get stats to make up new charts, graphs, Google Maps, and other content. Not having Internet at home means I get more done, as there are fewer distractions, and once I’m ready to make things go live, I bundle up and go down to the library.
Good morning! Happy Constitution Day on this Tuesday morning. 📃 It’s been said many times before, the constitution is just a paper document that you can use as bedding in your cow 🐮 barn if the public is not willing to enforce it. Mr. NOAA is sleeping in this morning so I’ll have to do my best without him. I think it’s about fifty degrees out with lots of sun. 🌞
Today we are looking for a high around 72 with lots of sunshine with high pressure in control. 😎 I hope you have your sunglasses, I know I won’t need the lights in my office today. About one degree below normal which is similar to what you would expect for Thursday. A week from now the high is only 69. Sunset 🌇 tonight is around 7:02 pm with dusk around seven thirty. By tomorrow it will be the last sunset after seven until mid March. Winters coming! ⛄
I decided to run to Price Chopper as it was the closest supermarket and buy some frozen vegetables and cheese and after shave. 🚙 They didn’t have the after shave I normally use and the frozen vegetables 🍲 that were supposedly on sale weren’t on sale. I wish I had just gone to Walmart or Shoprite. 🏪
The internet wasn’t working on my laptop on Monday but I think it was a temporary glitch. 📡 I thought some of the software I upgraded broke things but it looks like just suspending and waking up the computer 💻 seemed to get it working again. I think maybe the Bluetooth driver somehow confused the wifi in the laptop. The Realtek chip in the laptop has always been a bit problematic. A bit frustrating 😤 for sure as I use my laptop a Iot.
One good thing I discovered was that I found what was wrong with my display in my bedroom. 📟 I have a loose power wire going to the microprocessor and that’s causing a voltage ⚡ drop which causes the microprocessor to either freeze or send invalid data to the display. I should be able to fix that now with a bit of solder.
Tonight after work I’m heading over to John Wolcott’s house to hopefully get close to wrapping up his history project.🔎 I doubt I’ll have much time to do much more come October with my road trip and other things coming up that month. 🍁🍂
One month from today on October 17th the sun will be setting at 6:10 pm and the average high will be only 59 degrees. 🍂 Outside of the city the leaves will be largely past peek and it be closer to November than September. That said, November is my favorite month of the year. I love 😍 those frosty cold November mornings when things are crystal clear. Southern zone deer season opens in sixty days.
