Once again I chickened ๐Ÿฅ out and decided to go in early and walk the Concourse with the muzzle on. ๐Ÿ˜ท I did walk down to the Park and Ride and am trying to walk faster so hopefully I can avoid walking outside in the evening. It actually wasn’t too bad down to the Park and but when I first got up boy oh boy ๐Ÿง’ was that wind roaring. Ideally I would have my steps before the end of the work day so I can do them inside but I don’t know if that’s possible. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ I’m thinking of walking down to the library ๐Ÿ“š in the evening if necessary to complete today’s walk program.

Amazing how fast the fruits ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒ have disappeared from my office ๐Ÿข. Same thing with the frozen ones at home.

Exploring the Concourse ๐Ÿข I’ve discovered new places to walk ๐Ÿšถ like the South Swan Tunnel which has an interesting set of photographs ๐Ÿ–ผ of the Empire State Plaza construction ๐Ÿšง and other colorful locations in New York State. I’ve also done the Well of the LOB, Capitol Building and under the Egg. I should think about the forth and fifth floor of the Capitol, if memory serves me right there is an interesting mix of tunnels, stairs and walkways up there. Rainy but mild days I could do the walkway to the Knickerbocker Arena.

I brought the DVD ๐Ÿ“€ into work that I got from the NYS BOE with the county voter file, ๐Ÿ“‚ and the work computer couldn’t read it. I tried pulling the second hard drive on my laptop and putting the DVD drive in it but that didn’t work with either. I’m frustrated as I had great hope to use that data to build turn out models and help local candidates get the voters out they need to succeed using R Studio and machine learning.

Another morning stumbling along for my morning walk ๐Ÿšถ. I don’t know why I’ve been in such a haze the past few days but I have in the morning. It’s not a bad morning, I thought I slept fairly well ๐Ÿ› and was in bed a little after nine 9โƒฃ though I ended up studying Post GIS and using address ranges to extrapolate address from position for reverse geocoding.

Yesterday evening truth be told, ๐Ÿคฎ I wasn’t feeling well but I’m fine this morning as I slowly but surely wake myself up walking ๐Ÿšถ. I’m running a bit late for my morning walk having not got started until 6:20. But today is a breakfast reheat day ๐Ÿฅž so I should be good for time. Worse comes to worse I won’t walk all the way to the Park and Ride and instead catch the express bus somewhere on Elm.

Again plan on getting as many steps as possible in early ๐Ÿ‘ฃ As who knows what the era will bring come the evening. Lately they’ve been so pessimistic at the metrological Bureau. But I know they are really sounding the ice alarm โฐ for tonight. Tomorrow might be too icy for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถ I’m thinking.

February 21, 2023 Night

Good evening! Cloudy and 38 degrees on this Tuesday evening for the walk. ๐ŸŒฅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. They were talking about rain but I haven’t gotten wet yet. Did rain a bit earlier looking out my office window.

It was a busy day at work ๐Ÿข followed by a busy day of projects at home. But I managed to get in more than 17k steps today. You get the steps in early then there are more opportunities to get steps in later in the day. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

I was surprised to open my mail ๐Ÿ“ฎ and see the State Board of Elections sent me the Albany County Voter File on a DVD ๐Ÿ“€. Didn’t charge for it either. I had assumed that it would be a drop box link ๐Ÿ”— to download. Of course it’s a bit of a problem as my computer no longer had a DVD player installed as my other hard drive is there. I didn’t know people used DVDs with bandwidth being so cheap. I feel silly for only requesting just the county file ๐Ÿ“‚ and not the state. But I only really plan to model on county data and help local candidates this year. Next year I’ll get the state file.

Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent ๐ŸŒ’ Moon with 4% illuminated. The Worm ๐Ÿ› Moon is on Tuesday, March 7.

Working on another mapping project ๐Ÿ—บ for another local environment group. ๐ŸŒŽ This is kind of a fun project looking at potential routes for a bike ๐Ÿšฒ trail.

Tomorrow will have a chance of rain, mainly after 4pm. Increasing clouds ๐ŸŒž ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐ŸŒฅ , with a high of 41 degrees at 12pm.

This week marks a week until spring ๐ŸŒท though I’m sure it will get cold before then. But who knows it’s been a mild winter. Based on past experiences I don’t think it will get particularly warm out until about two months out from now.

In four weeks on March 21 the sun will be setting in the west (271ยฐ) at 7:09 pm (Daylight Savings Time),๐ŸŒ„ which is one hour, 33 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight.

This morning is a struggle to get going ๐Ÿ˜ด but I’m rolling along out for my morning walk ๐Ÿšถ. The forecast and everything else is going to make getting the steps in a bit of a challenge each day but I’m moving and will do my best. Always can take an earlier express bus ๐Ÿš in and do the Concourse if needed.

Not a pay week and quiet walking ๐Ÿšถ past the high school ๐Ÿšธ as the schools are on February break. But I would not say it’s February break in the office ๐Ÿข, we are quite busy despite being casual dress.

I’m not planning any trips until the time change ๐Ÿ•’ at this point but it’s only three 3โƒฃ weeks away. Two weekends if that’s what you count. I’m ready for winter to fade away as a memory.

Looking ahead, next Tuesday is Average High is 40 โ˜€๏ธ when the sun will be setting at 5:44 pm with dusk at 6:11 pm. Almost seems like looking back with the recent weather.

But none of that proved to be true.

It was a nice weekend ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ hiked 30 miles in the state forest over three days though it was a fraction of the 130 mile trail system but between the two weekends spent there I feel like I’ve seen a lot of state forest. I’ll have to make a map ๐Ÿ—บ of all the trails I explored.

Went out and saw the folks ๐Ÿ‘ช and then washed all the traction sand mud off my truck got fruits and vegetables and a few other supplies including a cast iron frying pan ๐Ÿณ, razors and also lighter fluid for the next time I camp in case the wood is wet.

Back to work tomorrow ๐Ÿข after the long weekend. There is a lot going on in the office this week despite not being a session week so it’s best to be back in the office as remote work is but a memory. Would be tough to work remote with the clouds and rain and the limited solar power for the truck at any rate. Better to save vacation time for the summer โ˜€ and nicer weather.
