Today will cloudy with more sun later ๐ŸŒฅ, with a high of 33 degrees at 12pm. Typical for today. North wind around 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.

Getting ready to head out of town. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Just a lot of packing and picking up things, though honestly for two nights it isn’t that much stuff I need especially as there isn’t much snow around. I’ll bring the shovel just in case but I’m not expecting a lot.

I really have mixed emotions about it all. ๐Ÿ›ป It looks like a cold winters day ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ though the weekend will improve as it goes on. I don’t enjoy camping and traveling the way I once did, I have more and more anxiety about driving. But on the other hand, I do look forward to the open country ๐Ÿ„ and the rural landscape, and the fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ once its going and a nice warm dinner. Then hiking the truck trails tomorrow will be nice. But it’s also a lot of money I don’t have though I’m sure it will work out as my tank is still mostly full on my truck and I don’t need that much in groceries and supplies. Part of Mission Fifty is figuring out what is next, I’m not sure I want to keep doing the things in my forties that I found fun in my twenties and thirties.

Got to check โ˜‘ the oil ๐Ÿ›ข and load up the truck. Double check my packing list. Go through a second time and hopefully be on the road a little after 9:30 as I need to get groceries and supplies on my way out and want plenty of time to set up, gather firewood and maybe go for a walk before dark. โ›บ

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:05 pm with sun having an altitude of 26.1ยฐ from the due south horizon (-44.8ยฐ vs. 6/21).

I was looking at my paystub ๐ŸŽซ and I noticed that they are taking out more for deferred comp now that the federal limit has been raised. It’s good, in the sense that I’m saving more money for retirement though it also means that I have less for today, saving and investing. But it’s pre-tax, so it’s saving money living in a high tax state like this is good. Plus there are years of dividends and market growth ahead. But it still feels like I’m getting squeezed yet another way. ๐ŸŽ

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day ๐Ÿฅ› when the sun will be setting at 5:23 pm with dusk at 5:50 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 26 and 12 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1981.

Good morning! Happy Friday the 13th ๐Ÿฆนon this Make Your Dream Come True Day. ๐Ÿšœ.

Not a real soaking rain ๐ŸŒง๏ธ but I decided to skip the 6:45 am morning walk ๐Ÿšถ in favor of catching the earlier express bus ๐Ÿš downtown and walking inside the Concourse with the muzzle on. ๐Ÿ˜ท Last night was also raining so I stayed home ๐Ÿก but I got my steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ in earlier in the day.

Today will have 9 hours and 24 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 30 seconds over yesterday.

I was hoping my December electric bill would be under $100 โšก but ultimately it came out to be $101. I forget how cold it was right before Christmas and on the holiday, even though we had that week when I had the heat off. I’m trying to save where I can but it’s hard, especially with inflation and higher energy prices. I guess it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I hate to waste energy.

Martin Luther King Day looks to be another winner โ˜€ with a high around 38. Not bad for January at any rate. Still a few weeks off until January.

Should be a good weekend for getting out of town ๐ŸŒฒ but the question on my mind is how far I want to go from. Not a lot of snow around but Saturday is going to be really cold โ„.

January 11, 2023 Morning

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. As Macías once played during his Christmas Day rock and roll concert in the stadium, Those were the Days. Talk about pure evil in a rather hilarious way redefining a song.

Partly cloudy and 22 degrees in Delmar. โ›… Calm wind. What you might expect for a January morning but doesn’t feel really cold because it’s not and there is no wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 1 pm. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

A pretty sunrise ๐ŸŒ… for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถ though I’m running a few minutes late so I’m walking briskly but it feels good. Got to get my steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ in although so far this week I’ve successful at that. As I know to well if I fail my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ will know and report it to me and I’ll be deemed an object failure who is obese and eats too much dairy. ๐Ÿฎ

Feeling better today, I think I was cold last night because it was a cold evening. โ„๏ธ I could turn up the heat, but once I was in bed under my heated blanket for a few minutes, I was plenty warm and left it for the balance of the night at the lowest setting. The heated blanket ๐Ÿ›Œ is still a lot cheaper then turning up the heat.

Today will have increasing clouds โ˜, with a high of 34 degrees at 3pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 4th. Light and variable wind.

Caught another two mouseys last night ๐Ÿ in the trap. Fished them out, wrapped in some paper and tossed them outside in with the rest of the burnables. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Works for me. So far I’m happy with the trap. It is doing it’s job, though I am not sure how many more mice there are to catch. I’ll dump out the water out back when it starts to stink. Trap: 3. Mousey: 0. Now I’ll have to patch that mouse hole again in the wall.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:04 pm with sun having an altitude of 25.6° from the due south horizon (-45.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 12.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. Sun angle is finally starting to increase a notable amount. Another sign of the coming days. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 3:58 pm with the sun in the southwest (233°). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (241°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:43 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 20 seconds with dusk around 5:13 pm, which is one minute and 6 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 5:49 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies โ˜ and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 22 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 26 seconds over today.

After work I promise myself I will go to the laundromat. ๐Ÿ‘” I am running out of shirts to wear to work at this point. But it’s good as I know what I will need for the weekend and next week, and by washing my dress clothes they’ll be ready when I come home on Monday from camping.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 33. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 36. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees. I’ll take it. Figuring only a few days ago they were predicting super shitty. I’ll take it as NYE sucked this year. I think I have a nice plan, with some hiking and enjoying some starry nights for Kings Weekend planned out.

Looking ahead for y’all honey lovers, next Wednesday is Winnie the Pooh Day ๐Ÿฏ when the sun will be setting at 4:52 pm with dusk at 5:21 pm.

Today was everything I expected it to be. ๐Ÿ’ผ Busy for a while then quiet during the Governor’s speech. I thought it ordinary for the times we live in. Still ambitious climate change plans, it will be fascinating how it all works out. Went to a public hearing on yet another development proposed in the Albany Pine Bush. ๐ŸŒฒ it was everything you expected, the decision was made in advance. I get tired of being such a looser all the time but if nobody objects nobody will listen. Rushing out to the bus I left my headphones on my desk at home. ๐ŸŽง I normally swap between two sets so one is always charged, but I managed with the set I had at my desk.

This evening I’m feeling chilled โ„. I think we stood outside talking too long after that meeting and my suit and tie isn’t that warm even with the wool overcoat. But I was cold after I got on the bus ๐Ÿš and when I got home. I know the COVID has been going around Albany, hopefully I don’t have it. I’ve been wearing my muzzle and I’m boosted but I had that work holiday party ๐ŸŽ‰ and mom’s birthday after that. I’ll have hot coca โ˜• and hop under the heated blanket when I get home from the walk.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒƒ with a low of 19 degrees at 6am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around February 19th. North wind 3 to 5 mph. In 2022, we had clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 3 degrees. The record low of -25 occurred back in 1968.

Sunrise is 16 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ„ The golden hour ends at 8:10 am with sun in the southeast (128ยฐ). Tonight will have 14 hours and 39 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 21 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have increasing clouds โ˜, with a high of 34 degrees at 2pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 4th. Light and variable wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 17 degrees. The record high of 67 was set in 2020. 8.0 inches of snow fell back in 1922.โ„ Before my time.

After work tomorrow I’ll drive down to the laundromat. ๐Ÿ‘• That way I’ll have the clothes I will need for the coming week and weekend. Then be set maybe for next too as I wear different clothes for session days then ordinary days.

The weekend forecast keeps improving โ˜€ though it’s going to be seasonably cold. But I’m excited about the chance to get out of town for the long weekend. I often feel so trapped in the winter. โ„

In four weeks on February 7 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (250ยฐ) at 5:17 pm,๐ŸŒ„ which is 34 minutes and 57 seconds later then tonight.

Did you see ten weeks until calendar spring? ๐ŸŒท I know that they were talking about the compressed budget schedule this year with the new governor, at least on paper. April will be here before you know it though calendar ๐Ÿ—“ spring comes about a week quicker. I am still expecting colder winter weather to eventually arrive though come February.

It is State of the State Day in Albany, ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝ‍๐Ÿ’ผ the day of the year I always take the local to work to avoid the traffic and get off the bus five feet from the door of my office and head straight upstairs to avoid the protestor half of which probably have the COVID, which the politicians don’t talk about anymore.

Today will have patchy rain and snow showers before 9am. Partly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 36 degrees at 1pm. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 14th. Northwest wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 32 degrees. The record high of 55 was set in 2016. 7.3 inches of snow fell back in 1984.โ„

The Rhinne Trap caught one mouse ๐Ÿญ though somehow I was hoping to catch more in one night. Somehow I find it hard to believe there is only one mouse. I know how this shit goes. But I didn’t hear any this morning. Easy enough I dumped it out with the water ๐Ÿ’ฆ outside. Seems wasteful with the water, I might try next time to fish out the mouse rather than dump the full bucket. Or may put less water in the bucket. I know some people use anti-freeze and similar substance so the water doesn’t get nasty if you don’t get rid of the mouse right away, but I’m not really into dumping anti-freeze in the woods, even if I’m no greeny. ๐Ÿ’š

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:03 pm with sun having an altitude of 25.4° from the due south horizon (-45.4° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 12.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 3:57 pm with the sun in the southwest (233°). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (240°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:41 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 20 seconds with dusk around 5:12 pm, which is one minute and 4 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 5:48 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies ๐ŸŒƒ and temperatures around 36 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 21 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 22 seconds over today.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ๐ŸŒค, with a low of 17 degrees at 6am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around February 11th. North wind 3 to 5 mph. In 2022, we had clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 3 degrees. The record low of -25 occurred back in 1968.

Been working on FreeCodeCamp again. ๐Ÿค– I was a bit tired of some of the classes for a while, but I am deep into the D3 module again. I probably should try to make more time to do it and go back and finish the data libraries class projects but I don’t really like it much.

Seems like the holiday weekend is improving. ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I am more worried about snow and ice on Saturday heading out then anything else during the weekend. Saturday, a decreasing chance of rain before 1pm, then a chance of rain and snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 35. For the King’s Day, sunny heading up to forty. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

As it stands it would be a good weekend to head out of town. โ›บ Where exactly to go is up in the air, the lack of snow opens up some various options. Might be muddy or icy in the higher elevations though. I still like the idear of Madison County, and hiking around the various roads of the Horse Camp on the weekend with binoculars and probably microspikes, but I am still worried about the roads being icy driving out there. I could do NY 8 again, or maybe Rensselearville State Forest, but I’m kind of bored with camping there, and I might be back out there for Presidents Weekend. I want some good snow, to ski and winter camp again. Another option, is that campsite at Burnt-Rossman that isn’t far off the road, but my only concern with that is I prefer to have cell service, as it makes the long nights go by faster, especially as my portable radio is broken as I usually just stream radio programs.

One month ๐Ÿ“… from now will be Clean Your Computer Day ๐Ÿงน when the sun will be setting at 5:21 pm with dusk at 5:49 pm. By then, things will be warming up a bit with average high temperature is 34 degrees, with a record high of 61 in 1895. Although that’s still cooler then it’s been lately. I still think the hot weather will break down before too long.

Descending

January 9, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Mostly cloudy and 27 degrees in Delmar. โ˜ Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

By recent standards I would call this a fairly cold morning but we are in the coldest part of the year historically. Running a minute or two late for my morning walk ๐Ÿšถ as I’m taking the local bus ๐Ÿš in as it’s a session day. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ

Decided to be a cereal ๐Ÿฅฃ killer this morning and had cereal that I bought yesterday. it’s a quick breakfast when time is tight. I don’t buy the kind loaded with sugar but I do add frozen blueberries and honey ๐Ÿฏ. What can I say I’m not perfect. And I’m sure by mid morning I’ll feel sick ๐Ÿคฎ as the sugar high wears off.

Today will be partly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 37 degrees at 2pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 18th.

The record high of 62 was set in 2008. 9.9 inches of snow fell back in 1953.โ„

I was thinking what an awful experience going to Colonie really was yesterday. ๐Ÿšฆ Seemed like one traffic light after another between the garbage heaps towering over the suburban homes and those polished brass turds, I meaning brass frying ๐Ÿณ pans soon to be compacted in the back of a garbage truck and hauled to the growing mounds on the outskirts of town.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:03 pm with sun having an altitude of 25.3ยฐ from the due south horizon (-45.6ยฐ vs. 6/21).

Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 20 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 19 seconds over today.

This evening is probably the best to go to the laundromat. ๐Ÿ‘–Mainly because it will be quiet tonight and I have plans for Tuesday to attend a public hearing on a proposed development in the Pine Bush. ๐ŸŒฒ Doesn’t take me long to get sucked into things like that. But I try to be less political these. I try to be more selective on things I get involved in these days. Although if I can find enough clothes maybe I can wait until Wednesday. I’m often really tired on Mondays after work. ๐Ÿ˜ด

The Kings Weekend looks good especially once we get past Saturday morning. It could still change. Not a lot of snow though for skiing ๐ŸŽฟ. Saturday, a chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 34. For Martin Luther’s birthday ๐ŸŽ‚, sunny with a high around 40. Kind of like my upcoming birthday which also is a holiday in the sense it’s a Saturday. ๐Ÿ˜Š At least it’s not my birthday like that one year when the legislature worked late into the night to deprive my gun rights. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

I think I do want to get out of town this weekend โ›บ but how far I go really depends on the weather. I’m kind of glad there is no snow around thought maybe they’ll have a couple of inches in the higher elevations by the end of the week. ๐ŸŒจ

As previously noted, next Monday is Martin Luther King Day ๐Ÿ–ค when the sun will be setting at 4:49 pm with dusk at 5:19 pm. On that day in 2022, we had freezing rain and temperatures between 37 and 30 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 32 degrees. We hit a record high of 62 back in 1995.

It’s back to the old ways of doing things ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ ironing my dress shirt and pants. And muzzle ๐Ÿ˜ท these days too. I need to get more dress shirts for the longest time I’ve been frustrated that I can’t order multiple colors and not pay extra shipping. ๐Ÿ“ฆ I realize that the obvious solution is to get a whole set of gray shirts and just wear different color ties. As you push forty you care less about what other people think about you.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:01 pm with sun having an altitude of 24.7ยฐ from the due south horizon (-46.2ยฐ vs. 6/21).

So far my steps ๐Ÿ‘ฃ have remained on target ๐ŸŽฏ with 14,500 yesterday but today will be a challenge wearing session attire and taking the local with rain โ˜” again this evening. But ultimately it’s averages that count not each day. ๐Ÿฅพ Making progress at breaking in the boots. The high ankes boots give a lot of support but will be warm come summer. Maybe I’ll buy a low ankle pair come summer to wear.

The spring like weather won’t last forever and at some point I’ll need the heat back on as the mercury heads down towards 32. โ™จ Probably by the weekend. But I’d rather keep it cool not just to save money but because I’m more comfortable in the cold and it just lowers my future expectations.
