Good evening! Mostly clear and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 Calm wind. Being such a relatively nice night, I’m sitting out back in the moonlight, listening to the spring peepers 🐸 which seem quieter tonight compared to some nights. Air kind of smells faintly like barnyard, it’s spring so the farm down the road must be spreading manure or at least working the dirt in the fields.

Today was another busy but good day at work. 💼 Definitely less crazy than yesterday. I’m glad I have Good Friday off as lately I’ve been tired as my sleep has been pretty poor. 😴 I was hoping getting to bed early would help but I still find myself waking up a lot at night. I just find myself increasingly discontent and worried about both my future and that of the world. 🌎 I’m trying to do more and more everyday though to improve my own life even if I can’t fix the many problems of the world I see around me.

The Save the Pine Bush Dinner was pretty good, listening to Lou Ismay give what may be his last presentation to Save the Pine Bush was interesting. 🎤 He’s gotten older for sure but he did much for the environment and the Albany community over his many years running the SUNY PYE Club. Lasagna was fairly good although this month I didn’t get to take any home. No delicious smelling lunch at work although I usually do end up cooking something good most days.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly after 3am. Increasing clouds 🌃, with a low of 44 degrees at 5am. Six degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around May 4th.

I haven’t packed my camping gear yet ⛺ so I have no real plans for the weekend except maybe Easter dinner at the folks house. 🐰 In two weeks though I really hope to be out camping again. The weather has moderated a lot, the snow is almost entirely gone from the East Branch area, and now it’s just a matter of waiting for some sunny days.

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃. I sat out back for a while after my evening walk but it’s quite cool with the breeze, so I decided to head inside, take out my contacts and retire to bed.

It was kind of a crazy 😜 at times day at work. Not bad but it made the time go by relatively quickly. I decided to walk down after work and catch the bus down by the old Union Station 🚉 right before the bus gets on the expressway. Looked like bad congestion heading north out of the city but not so much heading south.

I got home, cooked up some burgers 🍔 and laid back for a while. I listened to a podcast for a while. Eventually I went for my evening walk.

Playing with the overhead truck cap lights that are now based on the newer 2835 chip, they are probably twice as bright 🔆 while consuming half the power as before. Nice starry night but cold with the breeze for sure. 🌟 I enjoyed my evening walk which I did earlier then normal as I am tired.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 34 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 7th. Northwest wind 5 to 15 mph.

While I have no outdoor plans for the weekend 💦 I do think that I’ll start packing up my truck for camping season ⛺ this weekend. The weather looks pretty good in the long range so the plan would be to camp and fish next weekend in the Adirondacks. Not the latest I’ve gotten out camping for the year but relatively late. A lot had to do with the relatively cold April and the lateness of Easter 🐰 this year. Last year in contrast I was busy with volunteering with Aidan O’Connor’s special election so I didn’t get up north until the first week of May. It’s unfortunate that he couldn’t pull it off in 2018, but it’s a pretty conservative district.

In four weeks on May 14 the sun will be setting at 8:10 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 13 seconds later then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 77 and 54 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 69 and 46 degrees. The record high of 93 degrees was set back in 1900.

I am not totally sure about giving up owning a car in a few years 🚙 but I’m still thinking about the numbers over going car less for a few year some point in the future. Maybe a $100,000 savings over a decade by not owning a car is an over estimate, but motoring is so expensive and most of the time my truck is parked. 🅿 I just prefer to walk or use transit around town. On the other hand I sure enjoy camping in the wilderness. So I don’t know. It’s one option, especially with the ease of ride sharing, bicycles 🚲 and public transport. 🚍 I still eventually want to own land out in the country and that will involve motoring but not in New York State so it’s sometime off in the future. Been great in the markets lately and I think I have a good plan but I also realize downs are coming at some point in the market. But I’m ready to ride the bear market too.

Looking ahead, Average High is 70 🐮 is a month away, Fathers Day 👨 is in 2 months, Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆 is in 3 months, Constitution Day 📜 is in 22 weeks, October 🛥 is in 24 weeks and Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 81 weeks.

Good evening! I hope you survived this most taxing of days. I certainly did, but it was as awful as I thought. Partly clear, a blustery 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Stiff breeze at 30 mph the west-northwest 💨 with gusts up to 52 mph 💨💨💨. Wind at times is really roaring around tonight. The skies will clear tomorrow around noontime.

I survived another three-years worth of defensive driving class.😳 It was as awful as usual, nothing has really changed, but I guess it’s good to freshen up on things. I doubt the class really makes people much safer drivers, but acts a selection mechanism for the safest drivers on block.🚙 I almost didn’t take it when I heard they raised the rate for the class to $25 from $10 three years ago, but that 10% discount on insurance over three years adds up. Taxes and fines are high in New York, so don’t speed, don’t drink and drive, don’t touch your phone while driving.

I do use my cruise control a lot more these days, and keep my speed down on on the highways. Driving without speeding is a lot less stressful and saves gas. I do sometimes suffer from road rage when I see a cop, doing something I don’t think is fair, but the best thing is to just keep driving in a mostly law-abiding fashion and ignore it. 👊 I really shouldn’t take calls while driving, even with the hands free, but at least now with the latest version of Waze I don’t have to touch the phone to run most commands like report a police trap — and anything that is more then simple to do — I just pull off at the next safe spot.

I’ve never texted anyone while driving, but I do read text messages and email headers when they pop up on my phone in the hands-holder,📱 in big text, which is near my line of sight. If I need to respond, I will pull over where lawful, or call back on the hands-free phone. I’m much more careful with the CB radio, which to operate it, being mounted as low as it is, can be difficult to operate.

After the 6-hour class, I decided to go into work for the final two hours of the day. 📝As I have an hour paid lunch, I only ended up having to use 5-hours of personal time, and honestly I don’t have that much personal time, and I’ve earned a lot of comp time over the past few months. 💼 Work was a bit of clusterduck when I got there, I kind of picked a busy day to be out. But things that got done happened, and life moves on. Probably good that I decided to go to the office for a few hours this afternoon. I’m still thinking about taking a day or two off next week.

Wireless headphones weren’t working on my phone 🔇 today which made for a long bus ride home. 🎧 I think I just needed to update the software on my phone. 📱 Now they work perfectly after I updated the firmware.

I was pretty tired after all that happened today, as that defensive driver class is pretty intense while also being superboring, as the videos haven’t changed in 30 years. I did walk down to the library for a while, 📚and worked on some stuff down there for a while. Mostly just a lot of catching up, some fixing a nasty little bug I discovered in my blog. At least the rain is gone for now, but it’s cooled down a lot. I’m going to turn off the lights and head to bed in a bit. 😴

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly clear 🌧, with a low of 35 degrees at 6am. Three degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around April 10th. Windy, with a northwest wind 22 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 50 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had light rain in the evening, which became rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 32 degrees. The record low of 22 occurred back in 1981.

Much nicer weather tomorrow. It will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 59 degrees at 3pm. Typical for mid April. Breezy, with a northwest wind 20 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. A year ago, we had partly cloudy in the morning, which became light drizzle by afternoon. The high last year was 49 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2012. 5.3 inches of snow fell back in 1983.❄

I’m hoping for a better day tomorrow. I’ll be getting paid tomorrow which is good, 💸although much of those funds have already been allocated for various purposes. But I should have enough money to do an end of the month road trip, although I’m thinking it may be just to the East Branch through I’m considering still going up to the Adirondacks North Country.

Easter weekend continues to look wet and cloudy. 😞 Saturday, rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Maximum dew point of 57 at 6am. Sunday, a chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 63. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 46 at 6am. Typical average high for the weekend is 61 degrees.

This next weekend I’m going to most likely stick around town although if I get a nice day I might go down to the Catskills and hike up Platte Clove Road. 🚶 Or maybe do some fishing on the Eight Mile Creek. 🎣 I’m not sure, it all depends on the weather. I also have projects that I can work on at home. Obviously staying home is the cheapest option but it might be fun to get out of town.

The weekend after next I’m definitely looking to get out of town. By then it looks like the weather will moderate and it could be quite sunny and warm. ☀ I would camp, ⛺ fishing 🎣, and maybe some hiking. 🚶 It should be a great weekend to kick off the 2019 camping season. Probably take off Friday of that week and maybe also Thursday. I’m not going to take any time off though although until it gets closer and the forecast is more certain but the 8-14 day outlook looks good for now.

In four weeks on May 13 the sun will be setting at 8:09 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 19 seconds later then tonight.

Good evening! Modestly heavy rain and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a east-northeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. Evidently, I’m not going for my evening walk tonight. I did however ride the excerise bike for about an hour watching videos from Keith Fink’s Farm YouTube channel and one from Computerfile. The skies will clear tomorrow around 11 pm.

I have to admit I’ve kind of gotten to like watching YouTube videos I’ve downloaded for watching at home. That youtube-dl script is pretty awesome for that. 📹 While I don’t watch commercials television or professionally produced shows I do like watching videos and hunting, trapping and fishing, farming and off-grid living. And sometimes camping. It makes time riding on the excerise bike 🚲 go by quickly. While in many ways I prefer podcasts, videos can sometimes take you places where you can’t go just by audio. Plus the kind of videos I watch on my excerise bike aren’t the rot your brain like on commercial television. Sure, probably watching a farmer birth calves or seed 🌱 oats isn’t intectually stimulating but it’s fascinating.

Today was another automobile free day for me. 🚘 I walked out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center and then took the bus 🚍 and walked over to John Wolcott’s house. 📂 I didn’t find a lot of interesting files over the four and half hours of study and sorting this time but you never know what you are going to find. I prefer walking 🚶 and transit when I’m in town not only to save money 💵 but because you see and experience more on foot.

Tonight will have showers, with thunderstorms also possible after midnight. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. 🌧 Low of 55 degrees at 9pm. 16 degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around June 2nd.

The record high of 86 was set in 2003. 2.4 inches of snow fell back in 2014.❄

I am not looking forward to defensive driving tomorrow because I generally think motoring 🏁 is an unpleasant experience but it’s good to learn about the latest laws and safety techniques. So many of the safety videos are boring or obnoxious. Lots of time though to doodle and daydream a bit. But I like saving 10% on my car insurance.

I’m going to research other insurance companies and plans though and possibly look at a more affordable plan before my insurance expires at the end of the month of September. 😮 It’s important to have good coverage but I’m not sure if my plan – which is the same as my parents have had for decades with minor changes still makes sense for me. $920 a year for insurance when my truck is no longer new, I don’t drive daily and I’ve never gotten a ticket 🎫 or chargeable accident seems excessive. I might look at reducing my liability insurance and under insured motorists a bit – I would hate to be sued in court beyond what my insurance will cover in a severe crash but I realize such a crash caused by me is fairly unlikely because I primarily drive on rural roads and not in congested areas.

The long range doesn’t look that great for Easter weekend. Major bummer! 😞 No camping Easter Weekend 🐰 I guess. Next Saturday, showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 68. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Maximum dew point of 55 at 6am. Next Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 61 degrees.

I am most likely looking at camping ⛺ in two weeks possibly taking off the Thursday and Friday of that week. I’ll miss the Save the Pine Bush Hike but I’d rather spend more time up in the wilderness as it’s been a long time since I’ve spent time overnight in the woods. 🔥 A nice campfire, and waking up to a sunrise in the wilderness would be wonderful.

In four weeks on May 12 the sun will be setting at 8:07 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 23 seconds later then tonight.

Good evening! Mostly clear and 60 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. You might say it’s a pleasant evening. Sitting out back drinking 🍻 a leftover beer from Brooklyn or maybe Queens Night. I don’t normally drink anymore but sometimes a cold one is nice out back. Plus it was a free one. Maybe I’ll bring some beer camping this summer but I just don’t drink like I used to getting old.

I went out for my evening walk 🚶 on this most pleasant of nights. Lots of people out walking around and riding bikes. After getting up to 80 degrees in my apartment today it’s cooled down quite a bit and should be excellent sleeping 😴. Spring peepers are out there singing 🎶 their songs. 🐸

I actually didn’t sleep well last night with fear 😱 over stupid things – the recycling center might say my cans were too rusty or not clean enough or that something would go terribly wrong when replacing the brake pedal sensor. I mean I did get a bunch of superglue and dirt stuck on my fingers tacking up the LEDs to the truck cap but most of they cleaned up after a few hours. I also cracked my hands in multiple places replacing the brake switch. 💣 It’s just been so dry lately and my skin is dry. Time to dig out the lotion. 👐

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 43 degrees at 6am. Six degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around May 1st. May isn’t that far away at this point.

Tomorrow morning early if I am awake and it’s still pretty nice I’ll either hike the rail trail or out to Five Rivers. I actually really like the walk out there. 🌲🌳Then in the afternoon I plan to head into the city to John Wolcott’s house to continue helping him with going through his files 📂, sorting them and learning other tid bits of Albany history.

I am still debating whether to pack my camping gear ⛺ in the truck tomorrow. I may hold off on that as I noted earlier as I want to glue on the LED strip a little better. I have all week to do that and honestly based on the long range forecast I don’t think I’ll be camping next week. The following week is more likely for camping as the weather will only get better. I probably will take one or two days off the Thursday and Friday after Easter 🐰buy that’s still to be decided.

If the weather is decent for at least one day during the long weekend, I may hike Platte Clove Road🗻 although that’s still to be decided. I kind of want to hike where I’m not in the mud and that’s hard in the spring time. 🌱

I’m continuing to play with some different parts of QGIS and data tonight. 🌐I skipped doing my evening walk 🌃 because of the rain and I kind of got into mapping a bit too much. To celebrate Grilled Cheese Day I made up some sandwiches and soup. Been raining on an off all evening here. At least I’m not out camping in this rain.

Sunday I want to start loading up the camping gear and fix the broken LED strip in the cap with a more modern energy efficient strip. 🚥 I may need some crimp connectors for that although I thought about soldering it. Then I’ll be set for camping as soon as the weather gets better. Probably not Easter Weekend 🐰 but maybe the weekend after. I don’t want to start out my first trip of the year in the pouring rain.
