Good evening! Partly clear and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 56 degrees. 🌃 Long day at work, but now I’m on the way home on the nine forty five pm bus. I will probably retire to bed shortly after getting home, although it’s nice enough, I could sit out back for a while. I’ll have to think about it a bit, because I’m sure tomorrow will be another long day at work. 😴

Summer must be coming. The late night buses are filled with tired men and women in suits and the arterial highways are congested late into the evening. 🚍 So it goes. Step by step the clock moves forward. Just run out another year, it’s been an adventure, but I think it’s been a good results oriented year, despite more gray hair popping up and the markets at best being moderate. ⏳ Looking forward to summer and more camping. ⛺

Good evening! Cloudy and 70 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. Not a whole lot of blue sky expected over the next few days for sure. Forget about seeing the Strawberry 🍓 Moon tonight. At least it’s not raining for now.

Sitting out back padding myself on the back for completing my wiring project successfully on the truck. 🔌 Everything seems to be working well, I’ve been checking the amp meter all day to see how much power I’ve been getting, which admittedly after it clouded up and the sun went down was not much. ☁ It will be interesting to see tomorrow on a rainy day, especially with the batteries down a bit from sitting out back this evening next to the fan. It’s cool how the meter records total watt and eventually kilowatt hours produced by the panel. At 15 watt hours now input from the panel but the batteries were full so it was floating the batteries and it was clouding up when I first set it up.

It’s definitely been a learning experience, it’s fun to go small and scale things up. That said I have probably as much power as I can hook up with the truck 💡 but I’m learning a lot when I eventually get a home and live off grid in the country. 🐮 Energy ⚡ is a complicated topic, electricity and electronics is a remarkably fascinating topic – I was for a while when it started to rain sitting inside watching a video on constant current power supplies that are used to efficiently drive many LEDs today. Similar to inverter driven, high frequency 3 phase alternating current motors there is a lot to be gained in efficiency by modern electronics driving equipment to produce more output with less input. People think I’m not about high voltage DC being the future but I there are so many advantages to it once the problems are overcome – like fully reliable bucking and boosting of high current DC.

But regardless I had a great evening walk 🚶 and did sit out back for a while and read 📖 this afternoon, well until it started to rain for a bit. I also went down to the library and wasted time on the internet that probably could have been better set getting books out for summer reading. 📚 It’s definitely nice out back by the fan, enjoying some leftover wine 🍷 I got from work, especially now that more fireflies are out.

I’m going to drive over to John Wolcott’s house before shopping tomorrow 🍛 and continue to work on his history project. Then I’ll go out to my parents house for Father’s Day and Sunday dinner. I’ll head home after that and prepare for a busy week at work. 💼 I was told lots of late nights at work next week but I’ll take the bus and get my truck if I think I’ll be there after 11:30 and will get released before 6 am. Or I’ll just sleep at my desk. Done that a few times before. Regardless, summer will be here next weekend and I’ll either go out to Schoharie or the Adirondacks assuming not a complete wash out. ⛺

Already started working on the big wiring project for the weekend. I’m running the line from the second accessory battery to the proper side of the low voltage disconnect, ⚡ going to clean up some of the wiring in the cab of the truck including installing a proper fuse an always on charger for charging my flashlight and USB battery bank, and power for my solar panel amp gauge. 🔌 Also going to make up slightly larger and long leads on the output of the solar controller to reduce losses there, tidy up wiring and lastly, install the shunt for monitoring the output of the panel. I already dug out the tools and supplies I need but I think I’ll still need to visit Advance Auto for a fuse and maybe a new fuse holder and maybe some more of the larger butt connectors and conduit.

Tonight marks one week until summer ☀ and hopefully the legislative session will be done, I’ll be home by five o’clock and can enjoy evenings in the park and weekends in the wilderness. I think I do a good job at the sometimes challenging aspects of my job but I look forward to a relatively quiet summer at work without wearing a suit and tie. 😎 Not that I wear a suit, just a blazer. I’m not into being super swanky.

I was feeling pretty good today but the headache and aching returned a bit tonight. 😖 Not terrible and I did go for my evening walk. That said I hope this doesn’t last all summer. If it gets worse I tell myself I’ll have to visit the doctor. Crickets are doing their things, rumble from the rail yard, it’s actually a bit cool out back. Getting late, I should head in soon.

They ordered dinner for us at work today, so which was good because the refrigerator at work quit working so I think my dinner might have spoiled. 🍲 I did move it to the other refrigerator at work and brought it home and into the freezer. I’ll give it the sniff test and decide if it’s compost or dinner over the weekend. Got done with work in time to catch the 8:15 bus home, which was an enormous articulated bus. 🚄 What a waste in my book, the enormous bus was virtually empty.

I doubt I’ll be working this weekend 🏢 but tomorrow could be a fairly late night at work. I’m not going to drive in but I can always get my truck later on if necessary. I doubt it though, I think they’ll move through the agreed 👍 upon rent bills pretty much in the daylight. There are some decent protection for upstate renters in there. I know as long as I live in New York, I’ll rent a small apartment and take transit to work. 🏡

Maybe for ten more years, although I guess staying with the state until age 55 is financially sensible 💵 but I also want to get on with the rest of my life. It all depends on how much longer I have family locally – my parents are getting up there in the years and I don’t have really any other relatives locally. I’d like to live some place cheaper than New York in state with more freedom, off grid in a cabin / hobby farm out in the country. 👴 I tell you, I’m already getting so gray and I don’t feel that old, even when I put the suit and tie on. 👔

I look at summer in the short term but I do dream about the future. 🔮 Camping on dirt roads is a lot of fun ⛺ as is kayaking fishing 🎣 and cooling off on the Potholers but I do dream of a world based on reality rather than escape. 🌍 I do watch too many hours of people making their lives homesteading and farming, living off grid, hunting and fishing, making a good life for themselves and their families. I hate the indignities of living in New York and the urban life but I’m saving for a better tomorrow.

I got the wire I need for connecting the second accessory battery 🔋 to the proper side of the long voltage disconnect. This will protect it from under voltage ⚡ when camping. I also will wire up the solar panel gauge and always on USB ports for charging things like my flashlight 🔦 or portable USB battery bank. Then maybe go for a walk out to Five Rivers or some place I can walk 🚶to on foot. Might need to pick up a few groceries next week, although not a lot.

Not a half bad evening and I actually feel half decent. 🌃 A bit of a headache but better than I was feeling on Monday. I just don’t feel sick or achy long enough ever to go to the doctor. I think I’m just allergic to Mondays.😷 I shouldn’t be, I mean I like making money and saving for a better tomorrow. Sitting out back watching both the artificial fireflies and the real ones as they buzz along the trees. 🐝

I’m really looking forward to summer.

Good evening! Clear and 60 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. Not a half bad evening for sitting out back but the migraine headache and achiness returned a bit. I was reading about somebody I’m Facebook friends with who was hospitalized after collapsing with after complications from Lyme disease. But who knows, it could also be mold exposure at home. But I did do my evening walk to burn off some calories from the work picnic.

Unless something changes I doubt I’ll get out of town for the weekend. But I will hopefully have time for a few more projects around home. 🏡 Even if I’m not working Saturday I expect a late night on Friday so I’ll be too tired to get packed and head out of town. Once I finish my next wiring project on the truck I’ll doubt I’ll ever change things again. It will be interesting having the power meter on solar panel to see how much power is actually being produced.

I got the three USB cables I ordered a few weeks back from China. 🔌 They’re like $2.80 for 1.5 meter or roughly 5 foot high quality cables on AliExpress. Sure they took like 3 weeks to arrive but they’re better quality than Walmart for a fraction of the price. These will be left in my truck for powering various devices. I have similar ones I use inside that have proven to be very durable and long lasting. UGreen is a great brand on AliExpress and also very lightly packaged for minimal waste.

I was kind of hoping for the barometric pressure sensors to arrive but no luck on that front. They’ll get here eventually from China. I think they’ll be a lot of fun to program when I get them and wire them up to the VMS display in my bedroom. 📟 I really should make more time with the soldering iron.

I’m looking at the third week of July for my summer vacation this year. A week earlier than many years due to my dentist appointment. ⛺ I’ve thought about going to the Adirondacks and camping at different locations throughout the week but I really enjoy spending my summer vacation at the campsite on Chicken Coop Road in the Finger Lakes National Forest and visiting state parks throughout the week. Although maybe the Adirondacks would be nice for a change, especially poking around the Western Adirondacks which I haven’t done in several years. 🗻

Good evening! Rain and 67 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 62 degrees. For a while it was really pouring this evening. Seems like we will get a good inch or two out of this storm. I’m sure the farmers will love that. 🚜 The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

I picked up Big Red and he has had his oil changed and tires rotated. 🚘 It needed to be done, not a big deal, fairly convient with the buses downtown. Did not get soaked walking up Wolf Road as the heaviest rain held off until I got home. Made some pasta for dinner, been feeling a bit congested with a migraine again this evening. I think I’m allergic to Mondays. 😧I probably should have ridden the exercise bike or worked on other projects but I didn’t feel that great.

Tomorrow is the work picnic 🍔 assuming I’m not stuck in the office until late. 🏢 It might be a nice night for the picnic but I do expect a long day tomorrow with Green Light 🚦 expected to pass the assembly tomorrow. Free hot dogs and beer always are good. I’ll walk back and catch the 13 to the 18 at Lark and go home rather than driving. 🚙 I discovered when my parents were in the hospital that usually the 18 and 13 are scheduled for easy transfers on Lark all day long. Sucks to have to back downtown but that’s the best way to transfer.

By the following weekend, school 🚸 will be done for the kiddies, and most of the pools and beaches will be open for swimming 🏊. Getting out of town for this weekend doesn’t seem promising but there are many things that I can do around town including fishing and kayaking. 🎣 It’s the third Saturday of June. I expect late nights on Thursday and maybe Saturday so I don’t know how I’d fine time to get out of town this weekend. But it’s good to save money 💵 as bills have proven tighter this month than expected.

I got the battery pack 🔋 that I had mom order for me on Amazon. It’s charging now. This week I’m going to wire an always on socket inside my truck specifically for keeping that charged along with hooking up the shunt and meter to the solar panel so I can monitor how much electricity is actually getting produced. I also want to hook up that other wire for the second accessory battery so it’s protected by the low voltage disconnected ⚡ which is important while camping or when we have many cloudy days or an equipment malfunction.
