Good morning! Happy Sunday. ⛪ I guess if you have internet at home you can stream virtual church but I’d rather spend my time in the wilderness. 🌲 God can be heard by listening to the birds 🐦 which I still enjoy giving the middle finger too. Two weeks to Mothers Day 👩‍. Time to get out that Frank Zappa record, Motherly Love. 😍 Cloudy and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Rain is definitely coming…. For most of the next week according to the radar. 💦 There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Tuesday around 2 pm.

I don’t know, maybe last night would have been fine in the woods 🌲🌳⛺ but it wasn’t a real starry night 🌃 with the clouds pushing in early and the breeze pushing in and things super dry and buggy in the hill towns. 🐜 I was planning on going to Rennselearville State Forest to hammock camp but I think I’ll wait until the nights are warmer and less buggy. I think yesterday the black flies had just hatched from the warm weather.

Even though I didn’t camp 🚶 I had a nice day when I started out at Black Creek Marsh (highly recommended early mornings, especially off Depot Road) and then hiked up old Partridge Run Road to Fawn Lake then over to the Gulf and ultimately along the ridge line. I mostly shot those photos 📷 with the other camera, I’ll upload them this week. I was darn tired 😴 when I got home and went to bed.

Today will rain, mainly after 11am. 🌧 High of 55 degrees at 9am. 13 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 29th.

Plans for today include washing the truck 🚘 and running to Walmart. 🏪 Hopefully it won’t be too crowded but there is a lot of things I need and today would be a good day to do it. I have some projects coming down the pike on Monday for work so I expect a busy day then. Next weekend it might be a good week to go back to the Adirondacks for the weekend depending on the weather. I want to do a trip out to Schoharie but not until things green up in in May.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Mothers Day 👩‍ when the sun will be setting at 8:05 pm with dusk at 8:37 pm. On that day in 2019, we had rain showers, partly cloudy and temperatures between 69 and 52 degrees. I remember, I was camping up at Stewart Landing and it was kind of a cold and wet morning. Typically, the high temperature is 68 degrees. We hit a record high of 92 back in 1970.

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Best spent in the wilderness. Three weeks to Average High is 70 🐮. Cows and humans like that. Now drink more milk, it smells like the farm down the road from my place had to dump milk again and spread it on the fields. I do love drinking milk.

Partly cloudy and 43 degrees at the Black Creek Marsh WMA. ⛅ Light wind. Stunningly beautiful day, a lot of wildlife to observe today. Finally clearing up after a cloudy start to the morning.

I got up at five AM to drive out to Black Creek Marsh 🐦 to watch wildlife and social distance. The marsh is full of wildlife including wood duck, deer, mink, mocking birds, wood pecker, bluejays and a whiper will. Well worthwhile getting up early, the woods is full of sounds 🔊 although I wish there was a bit more sun but it’s clearing.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 62 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 24th. Light northeast wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 2009. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1928.❄

Wonderful spring day. For the balance of the beautiful spring day I’m going to hike at Partridge Run 🚶, observe nature, take pictures then come night fall visit another state forest pitch a hammock and spend the night I think. ⛺ It might be cold by morning but I’ll survive and there aren’t a ton of bugs 🐜 yet.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:54 pm with sun having an altitude of 60.7° from the due south horizon (-10° vs. 6/21).

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 42 degrees at 5am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 28th. Light southeast wind. In 2019, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 49 degrees. The record low of 24 occurred back in 1972.

I am impressed how nice my sideburns are looking on my face. ☺ They’ve grown quite wild and thick, one part redneck one part Captain Kangaroo but a little less silly. Makes me feel like a real man 👨. I did trim them a little bit but not that much. When this period of social distancing ends maybe I’ll change my mind although I doubt I’ll be wearing a suit or tie 👔any time soon so it doesn’t matter much.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Average High is 70 🐮 when the sun will be setting at 8:12 pm with dusk at 8:45 pm.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is May 1st. Been such a cold spring it’s hard to imagine that next week is May. It’s only just starting to green up in Albany. 🌸 Rain and 41 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a north breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. 0.14 inches of rain is expected before it ends around 4 pm. Not a lot of rain predicted and Saturday will be nice.

Coffee ☕ and wild berry muffins this morning for breakfast. Also cream cheese. It was a pretty decent breakfast not as heavy or labor intensive as making eggs 🍳 like I did yesterday. No birds 🐦 out the window to give the middle finger too. I do get a laugh 😂 out of giving the bird to the birds. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m nuts.

Wish it was nicer out but I really shouldn’t complain much 🌻– I am sure hot and humid days are right around the corner. It will kind of suck this year if state park swimming 🏊 pools are closed because of Coronavirus.

Today will rain likely, mainly before noon. Cloudy 🌧, with a high of 53 degrees at 4pm. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 4th. North wind around 7 mph.

Kind of a dreary day for sure. 💦 April Showers bring May flowers although they’ll be no tulip festival 🌷 this year not that I ever went to that except for tabling for Save the Pine Bush a few years ago. But it’s nice when things green up except of course for the black flies.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:54 pm with sun having an altitude of 60.4° from the due south horizon (-10.4° vs. 6/21).

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 63 degrees at 4pm. Typical for tomorrow. Light and variable wind. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 2009. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1928.❄

Sounds like a remarkably nice spring day. ☀ I have to get early up tomorrow but I should have most of the day to enjoy spending in the woods. 🌿 I’m thinking about hiking in the afternoon and maybe hammock camping ⛺ in a state forest, although it might be a bit chilly and wet by morning. I think the rain is coming early come Sunday.

Looking ahead to Sunday, rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 52. East wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Typical average high for the weekend is 63 degrees. 💦 Definitely going to be a real dreary day. I’m going to have to get some more videos to watch from the library Wi-Fi and some more data to make up maps.

Paid my rent or actually the bank did 🏦 as next week is May. Hopefully enough of my neighbors are too and my landlord isn’t going bankrupt. 🏡 He does have a nice house over the river but who knows what his cash flow situation is like. I know a lot of out of work people aren’t paying rent. I also had to cancel the double bill for my car insurance – they kindly sent me a second bill for the time period with a later deadline and a reduced payment – but it meant that I cancel that from auto bill pay as I had already paid my bill for the next six months. 💵

I am still waiting on my stimulus check to arrive 💰 but because I didn’t owe or get anything refunded from the federal government this year, I don’t think they have my information on file and the last I checked their website wasn’t working. I was hoping it would come sooner rather than later so I could use it partially to buy index 📇 funds when the market is still cheap. I’m young I’m not phased much about the sluggish performance of the market lately. I do think at some point Coronavirus will kill who it’s going to kill (hopefully not me or loved ones) and then we’ll move forward. Ten years from now I expect the markets to be a lot stronger and then I can buy land. 🚜

As previously noted, next Friday is May 1st 🕊 when the sun will be setting at 7:55 pm with dusk at 8:26 pm. On that day in 2019, we had cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 56 and 42 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 65 degrees. We hit a record high of 86 back in 2001.

Good evening! Cloudy and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a east-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear tomorrow around 6 pm.

I thought 💭 about an evening walk 🚶 but it’s kind of a cold and damp night so I stayed home. 🏡 Worked all day from home, it was nice enough this morning to have gotten out but still a pretty chilly morning. Saturday though I’ll spend most of the day hiking – probably Partridge Run but my mind may change. Going to be super nice on Saturday but the same won’t be said tomorrow.

I might go to the laundromat tomorrow morning 💼 and work from my truck while my clothes are in the machines. 👚 They do have internet there which is nice. Kill two birds ✌ at one stone. I also need to get to the store soon and probably the car wash maybe also tomorrow but it depends on how busy the day is. I want to shop at Walmart as I need socks among other things.

In four weeks on May 21 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (299°) at 8:17 pm,🌄 which is 30 minutes and 19 seconds later then tonight.

Good evening! Partly clear and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. I 🌃 There is a west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️

I sat out back for a while. ✨ Kind of a starry night but admittedly it feels more like March then mid April. I guess I shouldn’t wish too much for balmy nights – they’ll be here before you know it. 🍨I just hope the ice cream sales at Stewart’s return by then.

It was a nice day, fairly quiet day at work from home, 💻 followed by a nice walk at Papscanne Island Nature Preserve. Went down to the laundromat mid day with my laptop. 👚 👖 At the nature prserve there was lots of birds 🐦 and wetlands to observe in the backwaters of the Hudson River 🐸 . I went there about five years ago now, I didn’t explore the area fully that time. While I left my camera home I took my phone with me and took a bunch of pictures that I’ll upload the next time I’m on the internet with my laptop. 📶

I have a shopped at Aldi’s today, which despite spending $71 I still was missing some essentials. 🍏 It’s a nice small store and it was quick in and out with folks sanitizing the carts out front – no quarter 💱 required this time. I’m actually kind of wearing out my love for Aldi – I wish they had more bulk packaging and some of their prices really aren’t competitive with Walmart or even the overpriced suburban groceries around. That said, I did buy a lot of extra food for camp and next week so to avoid the stores as much as possible.

That said, getting home I forgot chillis for the burritos 🍥I plan on making up at camp and they didn’t have razors or beer or motor oil and night crawlers. 🍻 I’ve been avoiding Walmart since the pandemic got underway but I may end up driving there and to the bank in Glenmont tomorrow, prior to my weekend trip. ⛽ Truck is all gassed up. I was trying to avoid going to the store again but I’ll try to do it at Walmart tomorrow in a one shot deal. Every time I go out in public even with the face mask – well the bandana 😷 – I know I’m expanding my risk of getting critically sick.

I was reading the news 📰 and that 39 year old farmer and his pregnant wife with Coronavirus just outside Canastota. 👾The farmer is hospitalized and is relatively healthy besides asthmaand probably a bit chubby too many years of drinking lots of milk straight from the bulk tank and take out in the tractor cab. 🐮 Two of the farm workers are also sick says the article. Seems like Coronavirus is quite wide spread in the Central New York farming community from recent reports I’ve seen in the news. Madison County has been particularly bad on a per capita basis 👥and they have a lot of agriculture there especially in the hills and valleys of the southern part of the county. You wouldn’t think that the air flow of barns 🐽 and UV light ☀ outside would be that conducive to the virus like the dense elevators and subways of New York City 🚉. It’s kind of scary as I know a lot of folks out in Madison County and and I have more in common with many of them as the densely packed New York City. 🌆

Tonight will have a chance of rain and snow showers between 11pm and 1am, then snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 31 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 31st. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 37 degrees. The record low of 22 occurred back in 1981.

Tonight will have a Last Quarter 🌗 Moon with 39% illuminated. The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Friday, May 1. The darkest hour is at 12:56 am, followed by dawn at 5:45 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:14 am in the east-northeast (76°) and last for 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 37 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:52 am with sun in the east (82°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 33 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 45 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 3pm. 14 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 18th. Northwest wind 9 to 15 mph. That is going to be a cold one, probably one of the coldest on record for day time highs for April 16th. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 58 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2012. 5.3 inches of snow fell back in 1983.❄

Probably end up working inside as it will be too cold to sit outside despite the sun. ☀ I’m looking forward to nicer days and being able to work outside rather than the dungeon windowless office at work. Tomorrow I need to load up my camping gear, go through the checklist ☑ and have everything ready to leave hopefully fairly early on Friday but it depends how busy I’m at work. That said, working from home means I’m parked right outside and it’s not a long jot to head out.

Looking forward to getting away for a few days ⛺ in the wilderness, at least before that is hopefully not banned. 😧 I haven’t done anything shooting in a few weeks with the range closed 🔫 and I haven’t put in much time fishing 🎣 either and the last time I had a fire was New Years Eve. Might get a little snow on Friday night but I expect it will be gone by the time the sun ☀ comes up on Sunday. I’m hoping the federal government will sanction states that get too far out of line. Slowing Coronavirus is important but some things are getting way out of line. I’m going to bring my work laptop up there and briefly boot it to see if I can work from camp at a future week if I decide on a long weekend come May or June and don’t want to charge the time. I wish I could do a bigger trip but it’s kind of hard to ask for time off from work right now and I don’t want to buy gas or shop 🏪 away from home where I lack hot water and soap to carefully wash my hands 👏 as soon as I get home. It was bad enough today when I discovered after pumping gas that my spray bottle with rubbing alcohol was empty. I got to careful how much rubbing alcohol I put on my hands as they’re already getting dried out from the use. Most hand sanitizers also contain glycerin to avoid cracked hands but I haven’t been able to get glycerin at the store.

Taxes are paid. 💵 I guess I could have delayed filling until July 15th but they were done weeks ago and there is another quarterly tax payment due then so why delay paying for a possible few pennies of interest. Got it done for a few months until next year. I was a bit concerned that the tax department had my old format bank account number on file and the website was down last week for fixing it but the transfer cleared without issue. ☺

In four weeks on May 13 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (296°) at 8:09 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 18 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 54 and 42 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 69 and 46 degrees. The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 2004.

Looking ahead, Earth Day 🌎 is in 1 week, Latest Sunset 🌆 is in 10 weeks and Inauguration Day 2021 👴🏻 is in 40 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 37 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

Good morning! Today is Good Friday ✝️! We remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the common man and the evils of the Roman government. 😈 Three weeks to May 🕊. Cloudy and cold and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Breezy, ️17 mph breeze from the west 🌬 with gusts up to 30 mph 💨💨💨. That wind is whipping around this morning. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 4 am. ☃️

Got milk at Stewart’s 🐮 and the clerk started coughing when I was checking out. I guess we are all so paranoid today as we don’t want to be quarantined or die. 💀I am wearing my Don’t Tread on Me shirt 👚 today that says, Live Free or Die on the back side. I saw the Meadow Brook Milk Delivery 🚚 truck as I walked down there. If I got milk delivered it would certainly mean a lot less plastic trash to either burn or recycle ♻. I really should consider supporting the local business although the plastic certainly is a lot more convenient during camping season. 🔥

Today will have a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 46 degrees at 1pm. 10 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 21st. Breezy, with a west wind 17 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 50 degrees. The record high of 86 was set in 1922. 5.7 inches of snow fell back in 1961.❄

All I can say is yuck. 💨 It seems like today will be a good day to stay home 🏡 and make the politicians and bureaucrats happy. I really was hoping to get out camping up north ⛺ and then closer to home but not if the weather all weekend is going to shit. 💩 Maybe next weekend we’ll get better weather.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:57 pm with sun having an altitude of 55.6° from the due south horizon (-15.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 4.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:55 pm with the sun in the west (276°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (282°) starting at 7:29 pm and lasts for 2 minutes and 58 seconds with dusk around 8:01 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:36 pm.

The record high of 87 was set in 2017. 1.7 inches of snow fell back in 1942.❄

Even with tomorrow’s forecast it’s not going to be real nice and warm with the sun ☀. I don’t mind 50 degree weather but wherever I go in the mountains it’s going to be much colder. It guess if it was a regular weekend I might have considered it but I am willing to wait for nicer weather. As I was planning earlier in the week, I should go to Schodack Island or that bird 🐦 sanctuary on the river and buy groceries at Aldi’s. 🍏 I’m really into saving money 💵 and their better quality of food 🍲 for store brands compared to Hannaford or Shop Rite.

Looking ahead to Easter, partly sunny at least early, with a high near 61. ☀ Light south wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Maximum dew point of 40 at 6pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 56 degrees.

I am not convinced that Easter will be super nice. 🐰 Maybe early on but I think clouds will push in early. Probably a good day to do my wash and maybe a hike on the rail trail to Normans Kill Falls assuming it’s not too crowded. Maybe later in the afternoon but I guess it depends when the rain pushes in. 💦

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Happy weekend! Spring is coming. Two weeks to Average High is 60 🌼. A time of blue skies but more clouds are pushing in and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. More sun then I had thought we would have today. The skies will clear tomorrow around 6 pm.

I am not really sure what my plans are for today. 💭 I might go down and hike at that bird 🐦 preserve on the Hudson River and watch the river traffic, especially if it clouds up early or may be go out to Partridge Run. 🌲 I’d like to get some good hiking in and there are a lot of places in the back part of Partridge Run I haven’t been in years. 👢 Unfortunately my hiking boots are falling apart and the new ones are backordered so I have to be careful not to get my feet too wet.
