November 5, 2020 Night

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 51 degrees at the Stoney Pond. 🌌 There is a south-southwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 42 degrees.

A nice evening quite mild 🍁 for November out here in Madison County. 🐮 Quite mild but the leaves are all gone and the nights are quite long at this point. It was a nice drive out here but kind of a long trip because I had to stop 🛑 for remote work 💻 calls 📞 and meetings. Plus I also got food 🍲 at the Hannaford in Esperance – I was a bit creeped out by the clerk touching my shopping bags 🛍 and my ID. I’m just so used to people so aggressively social distancing in the Albany area and not wanting to touch others property. I mean the check out lady 👩‍🔬 was very friendly in the small town kind of way.

I did enjoy the drive out here along US 20 and the rural countryside. 🚜 Still farmers bringing in the high moisture corn 🌽 but the land is very gray with lots of browns. Not much has changed along the road in recent weeks, the homes are still old and ramshackle 🏚️, people doing the best they can to make a living off the land. The fields are being fertilized, the air has that pungent but essential smell 👃🏻 of dairy country 🐄 in the autumn months. I hope to eventually live in such deep rural areas but where there aren’t so many restrictions on guns 🔫 and having a burning barrel 🛢 and bonfires 🔥. I just want to own land out in the country where everybody leaves you alone. I love rundown houses with piles of manure, broke down tractors, goats 🐐 tied out front and of course a burn barrel out back.

I was actually surprised how few big TRUMP signs I saw along the way. 🚩While I did see some Trump flags and signs, I’ve certainly seen more over the top displays on the back roads of the Adirondacks or Pennsylvania. At one level, I do get the appeal of the president – some of those urban laws and policies do come down hard on farm families and country boys who are trying to scrape a living from the dirt. 🚜

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, then becoming mostly clear toward daybreak 🌥, with a low of 45 degrees at 5am. Still can see some stars ✨ but I wouldn’t call it a really clear night. But definitely mild. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 2nd. Southwest wind 7 to 9 mph. In 2019, we had light rain. It got down to 30 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1951.

I had a nice big fire tonight 🔥 as I was fortunate somebody else had left a pile of wood at their campsite. Thats good because after reassembling the camp lantern 🏮 it didn’t work. Had a couple of beers 🍻 and a big pot of macaroni and cheese 🧀 with diced tomatoes 🍅 and topped with bread crumbs. A fitting meal 🍴 for a long winter night. ☕ Also had some coca and chocolate 🍫 candy I bought on sale after Halloween 🦇.

I sat and listened to the radio 📻 coverage of the presidential election. No real big news 📰 right now but I seems like Joe Biden is pulling ahead. I’m not a big fan of Joe Biden – I voted for the libertarian Jo Jergenson 🗽 but I do ultimately think 🤔 Biden would be far more professional than Trump but I hope congress keeps him on a short leash. 🐶 I think every president should be impeached from time to time to keep them accountable and honest. ⚖

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 74% illuminated. The Beaver 🐻 Moon is on Saturday, November 21.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 64 degrees at 1pm. 12 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 6th. Maximum dew point of 47 at 1pm. West wind 5 to 8 mph.

The record high of 73 was set in 2015. 3.2 inches of snow fell back in 1933.❄

Going to be an absolutely beautiful day tomorrow. ☺ All weekend should be nice. I’m going to work from Cazenovia library 📚 and then spend some time down by the lake. 🏞 Saturday and Sunday will be much more relaxed and I’ll head home before dark on Sunday which happens early this time of year.

In four weeks on December 3 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (240°) at 4:29 pm,🌄 which is 20 minutes and 42 seconds earlier then tonight.

September 26, 2020 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Mostly sunny and 71 degrees at the Indian Lake. There is a south breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful fall day. 🍂 I just got done hiking Watch Hill, and headed up to Indian Lake to upload some photos and hike Sawyer Mountain after lunch.⛰ Then I will prboably head back to camp and read 📖 for a while, enjoying the nice breeze and colors from the hammock and then have a nice dinner before it gets too dark.

Hiking Watch Hill was fun but I wasn’t happy to discover I had no cell service up there. 📲 That wasn’t so cool as I’m supposed by supervising staff that is working, but fortunately I received no work related emails or texts 📨 during that time. I was planning to make sure I had good reception all weekend but that wasn’t to be. But I still had a very nice hike.

Been waking up early, 🌄 with the early sunsets and falling asleep after having a couple of beers.🍻 I normally don’t drink much but with the nights as long as they are and things are so crazy lately, what’s a few beers at camp.

This afternoon will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 75 degrees at 4pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 10th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 6pm. South wind around 10 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 69 degrees. The record high of 90 was set in 2017.

I thought about driving out to Cedar River Flow or Moose Plains, 🚶but I think I’ll just do Sawyer Mountain if it’s not too crowded. Otherwise I guess I will go up to Blue Mountain Lake and hike around Lake Durant and some of the North Country Placid Trail before heading back to camp down by Mason Lake. I am glad I did get a campsite on Thursday night, as by Friday I think they all were taken.

A pretty nice quiet morning, 😁 although that baby 🤱🏻 in the campsite across the way I can hear crying 😢 a bit. The campsite is still 200 feet away but noise travels. It was nice the first half of the weekend when the site was vacant but so be it.

Last night I had a mouse 🐭 in the truck cap again. It’s not a nest, I actually spotted it climbing 🧗🏻‍♂️ in over the gap in the tailgate. I’m going to see if I can remove everything from from the bed today and clean around where that synthetic PMD aka oil of lemon eucalyptus 🍋 leaked earlier in the summer while camping 🏕.

Should be another nice day. 🌞No real plans, I’ll just hang around camp and walk down to Somerset along the Deerfield River later. I thought about driving 🚘 up to the Stratton Pond Trailhead but I don’t feel like hiking a crowded trail. I’d rather just stay closer to camp today.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 65 degrees at 3pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 2nd. Maximum dew point of 48 at 10am. West wind around 9 mph.

September 5, 2020 Night

Good evening! Clear and 56 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. 🌃 There is a west breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. The skies will clear around 10 pm.

It was a nice day but pretty quiet. 😴 This morning was pretty darn cold for sure. Having the heater was nice to warm the hands 👐🏻 up. Did some number crunching 🔢 this morning for work and then laid back in the hammock listening to music. 🔊 Somebody moved into the campsite across the street so I have to be careful how loud the music is especially as I think they have a toddler. 👶🏻 Not sure if they could hear the podcast about butchering and processing livestock 🐮 but its Vermont and an educational experience. Kid will probably be quartering a deer 🦌 in a year or two. 🔪

Those campsites on Forest Road 83 are nice but somewhat poorly spaced in my opinion so on a busy summer weekend you might have neighbors. ⛺ Pretty areas down there but no cell service for remote work. But I enjoyed my walk and sitting down by the Deerfield River.

Not a lot of sun this morning 🌥️ when this campsite is best for solar ⬛ and because the starting battery voltage had sagged, I started my truck and moved it to where the sun is better, idling it for a while to charge ⚡ but honestly my battery bank is a bit low. I should be fine until Monday but I could start the truck up tomorrow or go for a drive to top things off tomorrow if it’s really cloudy. It’s been less sunny than I expected this weekend from the forecast.

This evening has a brief rain shower 💧but it really didn’t add up to much but it made things dark early. But then again sunset is quite early in the autumn months. 🍂 Lantern 🏮 is burning quite bright tonight but I still think it could benefit from a good cleaning. But thats going to require carburetor cleaner and probably new mantles. I’ve still not figured out how to get things good and working well in the lantern, I should research more on the internet.

Finished off the sausage paddies 🍔 I bought with provolone cheese 🧀 and ketchup. They’re always so good washed down with a bunch of beer 🍻 and cookies. 🍪 I don’t do much day drinking but it was fun this afternoon getting a little drunk in the hammock after my walk. Been so busy in recent weeks, I feel like I deserve a quiet afternoon off 📴.

That will be my last full day 🀼/strong>󐰠as I’m going to drive home in the afternoon Labor Day. While it will be sunny next week with the shorter days maintaining enough solar power for the laptop is a challenge, ☀ and I’m sure there will be multiple hours of Zoom Meetings on Tuesday that I best do from the library Wi-Fi to save bandwidth. 📶 With it starting to get dark in the woods at 7 pm, by the time you work until 5, there ain’t a lot of time to enjoy things after work. Plus I’ll need ice by then and I’m a long drive from town on dirt roads so I don’t want to make that big long trip and then have to head back. ❄ But four nights camping ain’t bad. I plan to do at least a few more trips before winter including at least one more weekend plus trip before the end of September. Maybe the Spectulator area so I can go to the library there for the obnoxiously long Zoom Meetings.

In four weeks on October 3 the sun will be setting in the west (265°) at 6:29 pm,🌄 which is 50 minutes and 10 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain showers, mostly cloudy and temperatures between 52 and 46 degrees. Chilly day. Typically, you have temperatures between 65 and 44 degrees. The record high of 83 degrees was set back in 1967.

Did some digging around in the truck cap and looking around under the truck 🔦 and I didn’t see any evidence of a mouse nest or eceb mice droppings. 🐁 My guess was it just a random field mouse that crawled in smelling the granola bar. Mice have been bad all summer in the woods – they’re always being found in the camp garbage rustling around after dark, under the camp stove and running around in the woods. This summer my truck has been driven nearly every day or two as I’ve been remote working either from the woods or going down to the library or park. 🚘 With the rough roads I drive I can’t imagine a nest would stay intact for long. The truck cap can’t be too air tight as I have a lead acid battery 🔋 in the bed which vents out explosive hydrogen has – I have large rubber grommets around the battery pulled for extra air flow.

It looked like a wrecker was towing away a Chevy Silverado like mine 🚙 that rolled on one of dirt roads up here when the tie rod broke – one of the wheels was pointed the wrong way on the wreck. I’m glad I replaced the tie rods on my truck – they were causing alignment issues causing uneven tire wear ⚫ and are notorious on snapping and sometimes causing the vehicle to roll as that truck did. I’m sure that’s off to the scrap yard at this point – although I guess it is drivable of they replaced the mirror and tie rod a bit totally smashed up on the driver side. Also passed somebody with a flat tire that they were changing after what appeared to be a rock or root they put through it going to a rough campsite. ⛺ I try to stay away from those sites and always check for glass 🍸 or nails 🔩before backing into the site. I also find myself driving a lot slower and being cautious and easy on my trucks suspension on the dirt roads.

Looking ahead, Northern Zone Regular Season 🦌 is in 6 weeks, Halloween 🦇 and the Blue Moon 🌕 is in 8 weeks, Small Business Saturday 🛍️ is in 12 weeks, Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺 is in 3 months, Boxing Day 🥊 is in 16 weeks, National Bird Day 🐧 is in 4 months, Static Electric Shock Day 🧼 is in 18 weeks, National Cheese Lovers Day 🧀 is in 20 weeks, Save the Pine Bush Turns 43 🦋 is in 22 weeks, 5:30 PM Sunset 🌆 is in 24 weeks, and Snow Moon 🌕 is in 25 weeks.
