That’s DATA! 💾

Just another SQL expression as you try to make sense of things. I’m pulling county tax records to find parcels of interest, cross checking against bank foreclosures and the county land bank. But sometimes it’s all just garbage what you get in and it can be hard to fix no matter the research. Yet, the golden signal is found in the noise. Good things come to those who dig through the SHIT. More awk and grep and I’ll find it.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Partly cloudy and 29 degrees in Delmar. ⛅ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️

Kind of a cool start to the morning 🎐 but things should warmup fairly quickly, though it might feel cooler today with the clouds rapidly pushing in and possible rain showers by evening. 🚲 I am going to ride in this morning, especially as come Friday it might be too wet. Too bad but at least it will get some of the salt off the roads. 🌧 A day riding to work is a good one, though who knows how much longer they will last.

Mill Seat Landfill, 1995 vs 2020

Mill Seat Landfill is owned by Monroe County and operated by Waste Management of New York, LLC. The facility is located on the western edge of Monroe County in the Town of Riga. Mill Seat Landfill was permitted in 1991 and began operation in 1993. In 2002, Monroe County partnered with Waste Management to operate the site. Waste Management is proud to partner with the towns of Riga and Bergen, the villages of Churchville and Bergen, as well as Monroe County.

Another nice morning for riding to work 🚲

Running a bit late because I was still tuning my gears plus doing some cooking this morning. t’s nice to see the sun once again, it’s been such a drab few days.

Of to work again. 📁It’s been such a busy past few days with work, and I was in the office late last night with a project that I was working on. Ended up riding down Broadway back downtown then walking up the State Street Hill to kill time prior to catching the Route 18 home. 🚌 Had some rice and beans for dinner and was exhausted and headed to bed shortly thereafter. 🛌

Going to be a nice day, 😀 and I’m thinking at my lunch break I’ll spend some more time exploring North Albany and Menands. Prior to moving to the suburban office, I really never explored this area much but I’m sure there are some interesting places to explore around this area. I am increasing my confidence in my work at my new position, learning much, and really putting my SQL, AWK, GREP and other Linux command line skills to work. 💻 Riding my bike to work 🚲 I am getting adjusted to the suburban office experience, and with the bike there are many nice preserves only a short ride away. ⏲ Change is hard, and I don’t always adapt easily.

Last night wasn’t so cold for the evening walk 🚶‍♀️ and it was fairly refreshing evening. Enjoyed the bread I baked up 🍞 and once again broke out more of the pea soup from the freezer from a few weeks back. Yes, the one I cooked up with the old stewing beef. Then had a dessert of some shredded apples with some oatmeal and cinnamon ground up in the food processor. 🍏 I tell you, I get a lot of use out of the food processor.

This week has just been so busy. 😫 I’ve not been getting up quite so early, because I need every precious minute of sleep, though most days I’m still up before six, often closer to five. ⏰ Nothing really has gone wrong this week, I’m feeling more confident in my work and getting to love the new job, but it’s a lot of work and long days at times. That said, I am getting adjusted to all change and looking forward to getting my new office when the current director retires next month.

Decided to head out for a night of winter camping 🏕

It’s such a glistening and beautiful winter day here at the State Forest. I wish I had cross country skis after mine got worn out, snapped, then chopped up burnt last winter. So much fiberglass in those skis, and they held up for 20 years, but like all things, they don’t last forever.

Good afternoon! Partly cloudy and 26 degrees at the Rensselaerville State Forest. ⛅ There is a north breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The trees are still covered with snow and there is something we haven’t seen in a long time — blue skies. There is a 6 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at Wednesday around 1 pm. 🌡️

It is remarkably beautiful out today. 😀 Cold but beautiful. Yet that’s to be expected camping in the winter up in the mountains. The good news is the road is nice and solid this time for camping, so not playing in the mud or getting wet. The snow is frozen fairly solid, but also is light in fluffy. If I had skis, this would be almost ideal weather for skiing. 🚲 After lunch and finishing setting up camp 🏕 and gathering firewood 🪵 I plan to ride some of CCC Road and maybe go down to the OSI Parcel 📸 to look at the snow covered mountains. Then come back to camp and have a good fire. 🔥

One thing that’s nice about this time of year 🌆 is we are definitely picking up more daylight in the evening, which makes it not as long at camp. That’s good as the nights can drag on. Going to be fairly cold but not super cold by the campfire for tonight, and I will have a nice fire.

Cue the music, the DIRE EMERGENCY SNOW STORM is upon us 🌨

Aldis in Colonie was so packed with people yesterday, picked over grocery wise with people stocking up for the winter storm that is supposedly approaching today, I just turned around and left. I look across the street at the Market32 with the packed parking lot, and tossed my hands up knowing chances were slim I’d get any whole-wheat flour or other needed groceries. Best to wait until today, when the stockers have been able to restore the shopping experience by morning. I’ll just do Walmart after I shower this morning.

Good morning! Happy Soon to be Wet and Sloppy Sunday. 🌧 It seems like it rains every Sunday lately. Without fail. Rain loves the weekend. Clouds and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 6 pm. ☃️

Decided I wanted pancakes today, 🍊 🥞 and I have a lot of oranges, so I decided to try out full-orange pancakes, milling both the orange and peal to make some rather zesty fully flavored pancakes with some lemon juice topped with some greek yogurt and honey. 🍯 Wow did they come out good — that orange flavor really shined, especially some ginger, vanilla in the mixture. Finished up the remaining oatmeal I had in the mixture, along with the whole wheat flour and had to fall back onto using some rye flour, but it worked out well.

Riding trail in the Albany Pine Bush was great yesterday 🚵‍♀️ 🌲 though by mid-day I was starting to feel a bit worn out from all the trail riding. The section off of Kings Road was closed due to them logging and using a tub grinder to chop up the black locus, blackberries and invasive trees as part of the restoration effort. 🦋 Ended up riding my bike around Morris and Curry Road to see what I could spot from the road both ecologically and development wise, to further educate myself for Save the Pine Bush. 💭 In the afternoon, after shopping at Salvation Army I decided to head up Balltown Road to Aquaduct, as I wanted to check out the old Aquaduct that once carried the second Erie Canal across the Mohawk River and then NY 146 until the 1964 bridge was completed, and the aquaduct demolished to improve the river’s flow and prevent ice jamming. Seems odd these days when Mohawk River ice jams are rare, because the river rarely jams up with so much ice. ❄️ Climate change has changed a lot in our world. There was some ice on Mohawk River but not a lot. Then I rode my bike down the Erie Canalway to the ALCO Trail through that swanky new Mohawk Harbor development, then through the Stockade and Riverfront Park, then the Erie Canalway Trail to Lock 8 and ultimately out to I-890 – NY 5 Connector near Rotterdam Junction. 🛣

While Aldis was insane yesterday, 👔 I did luck out at the Salvation Army in Karner – Niskayuna – Lisha Kill or whatever the area off of Central Avenue and got two nice dressier shirts. The stuff you get there is nicer then anything you might find at Walmart and cheaper then going to a place like Macy’s or JC Pennies. Plus often much higher quality. Two really nice shirts for $9.60. Can’t beat prices like that. Not only are there wonderful deals at Salvation Army, you’re supporting their disaster and community development efforts. That place is a complete dump on the outside, with people leaving discarded furniture and trash all around it, but inside it really is the best thrift store to get really nice clothing, often for prices far below other thrift stores around. Not going to find anything that nice so cheap at Goodwill or one of the “high end” thrift store boutiques like in Delmar or Slingerlands. Also looked at lamps for my new office, 🛋 but I’m going to wait until I move into my permanent office before committing to buying a desk lap, assuming I can’t find one in a storage closet somewhere. Thrift shop’s the way to go for that — I am thinking I can put a 150 watt equivalent bulb 💡 in it as a bright desk lamp. I just hate the overhead florescent lighting.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 29.1° from the due south horizon (-41.7° vs. 6/21).

Tonight will snow, mainly before 4am. 🌨 Low of 33 degrees at 5am. 18 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th. North wind 9 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Ain’t going to be much snow on the roads with that temperature, especially if they’re treated with the tons of deicing chemicals as they most certainly are. Maybe this week will be a good one to wash my truck. In 2023, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 22 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1925.

Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛 when the sun will be setting at 5:22 pm with dusk at 5:50 pm. I was totally getting teased the other day in my old office for being such a complainer. I know, I’m such a perfectionist. 💎 Cheap bastard too, but I’m saving all my money so I can blow it someday on land, 👩‍🌾 goats 🐐, hogs, 🐷 and cattle. 🐄 I’ve been told cattle are the fastest way to be broke forever, maybe except for horses. 🐴 Probably someday I’ll meet a girl who is as much a hillbilly as I’m and I’ll have to agree on horses in exchange for having a burn barrel and land. 🔥🛢 Actually, I think I complain about things, but it’s different from what others complain about. I don’t like working in suburbs, when so many others love the acres of parking for easy motoring and the convenience of avoiding crowded elevators, lol. 🤣 On that day in 2023, we had mostly sunny skies snow showers and temperatures between 38 and 23 degrees. I wouldn’t say that’s spilled milk, but a rather nice day. Maybe just a few drips of milk after the teats are stripped. 🐮 Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. Going to be in the forties during this up coming week. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1981.

Sloppy Wednesday 🌧️

Got an inch or so of snow last night but not until late, as most of the evening was just rain. Trump won New Hampshire, I spent the evening at the Colonie Town Planning Board with Save the Pine Bush. Another week, another warehouse in the Pine Bush. Walking this morning inside the Concourse.

Good morning! What day is it? A Sloppy Hump Day, of course. Rain, slop and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southeast breeze at 10 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 20 mph 💨💨💨. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 9 pm. ☃️ Saving money on the heat again. Really won’t need it for the next few days except maybe for reasons of comfort. The dampness can make things feel extra cold, but there is warm soups/meals and the electric blanket for that.

I was hoping to get in early to walk the Concourse 🏃 but it turned out the earlier express was running about 20 minutes. Obnoxious, I know. I did get some steps in walking the Plaza — 👮 there were a ton of police there — probably some kind of protest today. But not as many as I wanted to get. Not fun waiting out in the rain. I though the real-time bus info was wrong 🚌 ⌚ but it wasn’t, and after a while I waited a bit inside, where it at least wasn’t raining and wet and miserable out like earlier. Almost wish I had driven in to avoid this crap, 💩 but the hell with warming up my truck and digging off the ice and slush, when I bus that will do it for me for only $2.60 round trip. The shuttle is free to my suburban office, it’s just the fare to the Empire Plaza.

Today will have a chance of rain or drizzle before 3pm, then rain, mainly after 3pm. Patchy fog after 3pm. 🌧 High of 38 degrees at 5pm.

Hump Day, and I’m out riding early 🚲

Slept in a bit later then I wanted this morning but I made good time this morning and was able to go for a 45 minute ride out Meads Lane and Orchard Drive. Cows were all lumped together, staying warm in the cold. My fingers felt a bit swollen and sore when I first got back indoors but the warm shower seemed to make things feel better again.

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Partly sunny and 17 degrees at the Downtown Albany. There is a west breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 4. Honestly, I think that wind chill is an exaggeration but I’m kind of a tough mother. There are 4 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at Tuesday around 9 am. 🌡️

The morning bike ride at 6:45 AM wasn’t bad 🚲 though it was a bit cold at times, especially on my fingers. 🤚 I had gloves on which helped quite a bit, 🧤 but at times my fingers were cold. Riding up the hills on Orchard Avenue helped warm me up but I didn’t mind getting back home and taking that warm shower 🚿 before heading out to the bus. 🚌 It turns out the later express bus works out well for the transfer to the shuttle to the suburban office, making for a commute not much longer then driving, plus it saves money and I don’t have to worry about bumping other cars, and watch videos or do other things while I ride the bus. That said, I look forward to riding to work again, but right now the rail trail is snow covered ❄️ not to mention it’s a pretty cold week.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 24 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees below normal. West wind 10 to 13 mph.

The record high of 62 was set in 1889. 10.9 inches of snow fell back in 1994.❄

Moving back out to working in the suburbs is what you might expect it to be. 👨‍💼 Very much kind of a corporate experience, working in a massive two-story sprawling building with massive open-air cubical farms, surrounded by acres of free parking. 🅿️ At least it’s convenient for parking for the weekends I plan to head out of town after work, right off the freeway. ☕ And as much free coffee as I want and not many late nights. And it’s a bit more money and a good resume builder, which is important especially in these inflationary times. 💸 Need to study up on VIM and probably awk, as I think those programs will be essential for my new job. They have some books in the office, but I know there is a lot of Youtube videos and other sources of info about it on the internet.

Yesterday with the snow was kind of a messy commute ❄️ and I was annoyed that I got on the local bus and saw shortly thereafter the very late express bus passing by. 🚌 I just didn’t trust the real time bus info, as it kept shift as the express bus and local bus kept getting later. I though they might have canceled the express bus or I missed it as the shuttle back to the Plaza was running late due to snow, but it was accurate data. Doesn’t matter, I was still home by 6 PM.

Ended up getting dinged $45 for damaged books 📚 from the library, but I get to pickup the books and I’ll add them to my collection. Two of my books unfortunately got wet and dirty when I was camping. 🏕 It happens, I shouldn’t bring library books winter camping I guess. Or at least plan to keep any books that I take up to the woods with me. Never a problem in the summer, but in the winter, it’s easy for dirt and wetness to get attracted to the paper. It happens, oh well. I’ve paid the fine. At least with the mild weather in December, my electric and gas bill was down, mostly because I didn’t use that much gas heat. This month though with the recent cold blast 🌬 it must certainly will be back up. Trying to limit my power use too by cooking efficiently with a full oven each time I cook. 👩‍🍳

Cold but clearing this weekend. ⛅ Saturday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 17. Without much sun, that’s going to feel like a real cold day for sure. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 24. Typical average high for the weekend is 32 degrees. But it’s too be expected in mid-to-late January. By Tuesday, things are expected to be in the low 40s and by the second half of the week if the trend continues, looking at upper 40s. It’s really to far away to know about things though for following weekend, and heck even past Tuesday who really knows but it looks like there is a warming trend ahead.

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Valentines Day ❤️ when the sun will be setting at 5:26 pm with dusk at 5:53 pm. On that day in 2023, we had partly sunny skies mild temperatures between 50 and 30 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 36 degrees. But maybe there is hope after all the cold. We hit a record high of 63 back in 1946.
