November 8, 2019 8 AM Update

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Three weeks to Buy Nothing Day 🛍️. Mostly sunny and 25 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌡️

Walked down to the Park and Ride 🚏, it’s a nice day but it certainly feels more like a winter day then early November. The high in Delmar is going to only be in the mid 30s which is more common in December or January than November. The mountains and hills aren’t expected to break the freezing mark although the sun and the breeze should melt away most of the snow. ❄ Bus driver gave me a ride part of the way down to the Park and Ride which is nice on this cold morning although I still enjoy my walk. 🚶 Windy though downtown. 🌬

So the heat is on in my apartment ♨ which definitely felt good this morning. Warm enough that the gas heat kept up easily and it was comfortable getting up in the morning – doesn’t take much heat to keep me warm. I was kind of hoping I could wait until November 13th after the meter was read to turn on the heat, but no luck there. 💸 Cash flow isn’t great right now, after vacation and my truck repair in October but so be it. The shower 🚿 isn’t leaking which is good too after today’s bath 🛀. Feel clean and ready for a good day at work, that bright 🔆 sun is nice although once I’m in my basement office I won’t have much natural light to enjoy.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 36 degrees at 1pm. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 14th. Northwest wind 8 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 49 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1975. 1.7 inches of snow fell back in 1894.❄

The sun will set at 4:40 pm with dusk around 5:10 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 11 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 2 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 24 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 20 degrees at 4am. 13 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around December 18th. Maximum wind chill around 22 at 3am; Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2018, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 28 degrees. The record low of 11 occurred back in 1971.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 39 degrees at 2pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 6th. South wind 3 to 7 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 42 degrees. The record high of 71 was set in 1975. Ten inches of snow fell back in 1900.❄

Looking ahead to Sunday, a slight chance of snow before 10am, then a slight chance of rain between 10am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy, ☁ with a high near 45. South wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Typical average high for the weekend is 51 degrees.

Giving it some thought I think I’ll probably head out to Brookfield this weekend ⛺, and then Sunday drive out to Cazenovia. I was going to camp at Stoney Pond – and I might still if the weather is decent but I’m a bit concerned about the possibility of Lake Effect snow ❄ leaving a few inches of snow unexpectedly and it’s an uphill drive out of there and I don’t want to risk it. It looks fairly white out there from the Hamilton and Cazenovia Webcams I’ve checked, although the snow fall reports are quite modest — and it’s expected to be in the mid-30s by afternoon.

Upper I Brown Road is plowed daily for fire department purposes in Brookfield and while it’s modestly steep its down hill and it should be warm enough that it won’t be icy. I really would prefer to camp at Stoney Pond – maybe I’ll play it by ear, camp there Saturday and Sunday do Brookfield which is sort of on the way back home 🏡. I have fond memories of my time in Nelson and I want to hunt out that way, visit Nelson Swamp and Chittenango State Park. I’ll see how much snow is around heading along the Cherry Valley 🍒 bypass.

Not sure if I’m going to John Wolcott house tonight. 🔍 I am kind of tired and I want to get packed for my weekend adventure. 📂 Honestly, this project is kind of getting rapped up, and I want to put a close on it sooner then later. He says he has more boxes, but I think there are others who could help him out. We’ve done six boxes over the year. 🗃

Next week is my first paycheck at my new job. It will be a little larger then the my previous one, because I’m only doing 15% for retirement versus 20% due to the 401k limit being lower then deferred comp. But I’ll put the remaining money away into more mid-term investments like when I want to buy land and a home. 💰 I was reading that 15% should be enough to save for retirement, but I’d rather save more, just because I hate paying so much in New York State taxes. I literally pay more each month in taxes then I do on rent. Granted, I don’t have the nicest apartment in all of New York.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Buy Nothing Day 🛍️ when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:55 pm. On that day in 2018, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 56 and 28 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 42 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 2005.

Heading out to my parents house later on today for Thanksgiving dinner. 🦃 After so many years I’m not as big of a fan of it as in years past but it’s still a good meal. Might go for a walk this afternoon but I’ll want to bundle up with it being so cold. Solar panel is doing a great job keeping the battery voltage up despite their being a lot of clouds in Delmar. It just seems like lately how we’ve been getting the worst weather in the state.

Snow showers around for the first sort of day for spring. 🌨

Spring starts at 11:50 pm in the evening not that it feels much like spring today. I’m sure it will be bitterly cold until it’s like 80 degrees out. Always happens that way.

Good morning! Snow flurries and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. ❄ There is a northwest breeze at 13 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 23 mph 💨💨💨. Not a constant wind but I hear it picking up at times. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️

Going to be cold ride in this morning, but I still enjoy the ride. 🚲 It was cold riding home last night as I was doing the Zoom meeting for Save the Pine Bush 🌲down in the Noonan Preserve though it started to get dark and I had to head home. 🌆 Dinner last night was red kidney beans I cooked and mashed into essentially refried beans minus the frying in fat, on top of onion Johnny cakes. Not a half bad dinner. I was tired and cold to bed 🛏 shortly there after.

Yesterday I got my Early Voting by Mail Ballot 🗳 and I promptly filled it out and will toss in a post office box 📮on my way riding to work. Decided to vote for Dean Phillipson for President, not that it’s going to change anything but I figured why not. I will probably vote Green or Libertarian come November, I’m not super thrilled with either of the leading elderly candidates. I think Biden has done a lot of good things, but I can’t argue that in some ways Trump has personally been better for me with the tax cuts.

I’ve been having problems with root rot with some of my plants, 🥀 so I brought them home and repotted them with fresh soil. I am tough with plants. Doesn’t help though my office is bone try, due to being over a printing plant 🏭️ where they have to keep things dry to keep paper from sticking together.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:04 pm with sun having an altitude of 47.1° from the due south horizon (-23.8° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 5.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer.

I haven’t had a chance to talk to my neighbor about the garbage pile 🗑️ next to his unit as he got home from work after I was in bed. If see him out and about I’ll try to find out what’s going on. He doesn’t look like he’s packing up to move out and the transfer station was open Saturday and today so it’s kind of werid. I figure if anything the rats will be attracted to his unit. 🐀 The whole situation is kind of awkward and I don’t want to be the tattle tail but also not be dealing with problems.

Tonight will have a chance of snow showers, mainly after 9pm. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 31 degrees at 6am. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 30th.

Another kind of shit March weekend. 😕 Saturday, rain and snow likely before 2pm, then a chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 42. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 38. Typical average high for the weekend is 48 degrees. I’m hoping for nicer weather come the following weekend to head up north, although even with a forecast like that I’ll make it owrk.

Looking ahead, there are 3 weeks until 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇 with dusk at 7:59 pm. On that day in 2023, we had sunny and temperatures between 55 and 29 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 56 degrees. That should feel very spring like. 🌷 We hit a record high of 77 back in 1991.

Final Day of 2023

Made it to the end of year. Kind of a cloudy, gray, cool day to end out the year — certainly not the best day to be out doing outdoor activities, especially with the breeze and gray skies. Maybe it’s best that my planed camping trip didn’t work out after all.

I was originally planning to be out camping today, but when I got up to camp 🏕 the campsite was taken and everything up at Rensselaerville State Forest was a complete mosh pit, after all the rain we’ve had and above normal temperatures. I poked around the state forest for a while, thought about pitching a tent, but I would be setting up in the mud, and the other campsite — Campsite 3 was a mess because they’ve been logging off CCC Road. I think that red clay is as slick and muddy as I can remember due to it being such a mild, ice free winter. Maybe that black powder guy parked in the campsite did me a favor. I don’t think he was camping, though it seemed like he swapped off that site with another person, which makes me think maybe he had his stand up there and wanted to reserve the site. I’m not that heart broken 💔 about not camping this weekend. I might be back for Martin Luther King Day Weekend, ❄️ which believe it or not is only two weekend away this point. I’m hoping it will be cold enough at that point that I won’t be dealing with all that mud and slop. Some snow would be nice, and most of the big hunting seasons are done 🔫 though trapping is open and as small game.

Back to the table format on the weather, as my blog’s weather template always seems to break for the last day of the year. 🌆 There is a one-day-a-year bug which I should fix but it happens only once in 365 days. I didn’t blog yesterday, at least with a status update as I got a bit of a late start, and was planning to do it up by camp which didn’t happen. Instead, I came home, unpacked my gear 🎒 which didn’t take long as nothing was disorganized or dirty, made some lunch and spent the balance of the day reading and studying my machine learning course. 🤖 This morning I finished up the Udemy Neural Nwtworks for R course and started one on Support Vector Classification for R. 💭 I’ve been thinking I should also do some machine learning courses on Python so I get a full knowledge and various platforms. 👩‍💻 I’m not opposed to Python though I tend to use R more then Python.

Today for exercise 🚲 I think I’m going to ride out to Voorheesville 🚂 and maybe stop at Hannaford out there to get some baker’s vanilla which I like in my coffee and warm milk at the end of day, plus also some more apple cider vinger which I like in my glass of warm milk at the end of day.. That said, I’m still cringing after spending $200 at the grocery store on Friday, though fortunately I got paid early — I couldn’t believe I got my first 2024 pay check on Friday, when the official pay day is next Wednesday, January 3rd. Paychecks have been coming earlier and earlier, often on Monday mornings, and I know New Years Day or Monday is a holiday, but I just assumed the money would come in on Tuesday. 💵 It’s good though as I paid rent on Friday, 🏘 and I’ve been concerned about having the minimum in bank account.

I guess this sort of makes December, rather then January a three paycheck month, but as long as I keep things coming in and out consistently, I’m good. I just ended up buying a lot groceries, in part for camping but also there was a lot of things I wanted to keep my pantry stocked. That said, it should cut back on what I need in future weeks, as most of the more expensive things I stocked up are the kind of things that should last for a while. I don’t waste food, if things start to go bad, I cut off the bad parts and eat that first. 🍎 But I generally prefer frozen and vegatables, and aren’t afraid to use my freezer.

My parents have continued to be sick on and off 😣 so I’ve not been able to visit them in the few weeks 👪 and I’m not totally sure if we are going to do a get together for New Years Day, 🎆 though we’ve been talking about doing a holiday celebration 🎄 getting together next week for Mom’s birthday with my sister, niece and in-laws, assuming everybody is feeling better by then and the weather is good.

As you will note below, going to be a mild week to start out January, and we are definitely starting to pick up more daylight at end of each day.

Cold and gray for festivus 💈

It might be a fair bit warmer today but with the breeze and clouds it feels pretty cold. I’m taking down camp to head to Hamilton and ultimately Brookfield to camp and explore that forest through Christmas Day. Then maybe on Christmas I’ll head down to Cooperstown and then home. My parents have been sick with a bad cold so it seems likely Christmas will be remote. I’ll still probably head home on Christmas Day though I also have boxing day off.

Good morning! Cloudy and 31 degrees at the Stoney Pond State Forest. ☁ There is a south breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️

Oatmeal pancakes 🥞 for breakfast though I wish I had more bananas 🍌 to use in the mix. They blacken in the cold quickly but they’re still good but I eat them all up yesterday. I’ll have to stop at the Price Chopper in Hamilton. 🚲 Thinking I might ride around the village a bit too though it depends on if it’s raining and the weather. Outdoor activities can be tough in December, the weather kind of sucks.

Dropped my phone 📱 this morning when I was stacking wood and couldn’t find it until I heard the hour chime. ⏰ I was lucky 🍀 I heard that otherwise it would be likely lost. Not that my phone 📞 is worth much – the touch screen is increasingly malfunctioning. But I’m glad I found it.

Not a real nice day ahead 🌥 which is why I figured it would be a good day to move campsites then I can spend the bulk of Christmas Eve exploring Charles Baker State Forest 🐦 watching birds and hiking when hopefully it will be somewhat nicer. This weekend after looking beautiful has somewhat slid downhill unfortunately. 😔

Yesterday morning got kind of a late start 🥶 because it was so cold out. Plus I wanted to chop wood 🪵🪓 so I’d be ready when I got back to camp ⛺. Then I did a hike at Oxbow Falls County Park 🏞 and looked off the escarpment. A fairly clear day.

Rode 36 miles yesterday from Canastota to East Verona on the Old Erie Canal Trail then back via NY 46 to Oneida, then the Oneida Rail Trail to the Oneida Waterline Trail to Wampsville back to Canastota. 🚲 It was cold this morning so I got a late start, plus I visited Oxbow Falls in the morning, but I hit the trail at noon and returned back at four.

Drove back to camp before dark, made turkey soup 🦃🍅🍲 with lots of delicious vegetables. No bacon 🥓 this meal even though next Saturday is bacon day.

Looking ahead, next Saturday is Bacon Day 🥓 when the sun will be setting at 4:38 pm with dusk at 5:09 pm. On that day in 2022, we had mostly cloudy, mild and temperatures between 57 and 43 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 53 back in 1984.

Last day of the year riding home from work at least at five o’clock 🚲

Doesn’t necessarily mean that I won’t still ride in the morning or if I can ask the big director to leave early occasionally I can leave early to ride home. But soon a lot more busing it home on the express hopefully! The authority is about to get rich on my back.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Time to blow this town, head out to Mad County come Saturday. Kind of like West Virginia but with more cows and smaller hills and no coal fields but more manure. 💩 Partly clear and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 There is a south-southeast breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Going to need the gloves 🧤 for the ride in.

My arm is a bit sore 💪🏻 feels like I spent the day at the range 🔫 from getting my COVID and flu jabs 💉 last night but I made up for it with a protein packed breakfast of eggs 🍳 with edamame 🟢, broccoli, onions and topped with lots of cottage cheese, tumeriac and nutritional yeast. Lunch is brown rice with lentils and even more edamame and tumeriac. 🍚 Got to have that protein to make my arm feel good. And coffee ☕ with cinnamon and ginger. Ginger and turmeric are supposed to reduce pain and aches. But I’ll be pissing like a cow in a pasture today. But then again tomorrow I’ll be heading to Madison County where they have a lot of them. 🐮

Had a mouse 🐁 making a ton of noise last night after I got up to take a piss 🚽 in part because I drunk extra water 💦 yesterday after getting vaxxed as recommended by the CDC to help with symptoms. I’m going to have to try the bucket trap again 🪤 or get more sticky traps as the spring trap isn’t working well as they keep picking the peanut 🥜 butter off it. Plus my arm 💪🏻 started to hurt a bit after waking up. Annoying as hell but I made up for it by sleeping into six. ⏰ No need to rush as the rice 🍚 doesn’t take as long as many of the soups I cook makes.

Got the space heater out yesterday. ♨ And also the heating pad and electric blanket though the later is not yet on my bed. 🛏 Only used the heating pad and space heater briefly the other night when my fingers were cold from riding home. Need to work on using some sealant tape around the door 🚪 to stop air leaks and put the storm windows 🪟 back in and lock the other windows for the winter. ❄ I think the cold season is back but just wait and we’ll have a heat wave 🌊 during this El Niño winter. ☀ Holding off on the central gas heat for now, as it’s not so cold plus the cooking each morning warms things up.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 55 degrees at 3pm. Not as cold mercury wise but it might feel colder with the wind. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 2nd. South wind 8 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Going to feel that wind riding home past Ezra Prentiss one last time before the time change. 🌬️ 🚲 A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with sunny skies in the afternoon. The high last year was 68 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1990. 0.9 inches of snow fell back in 1951.❄

Why can’t we have such nice weather for the four 4⃣ days election weekend? 🗳 I stuffed my split ticket ballot 🗳 into the box so I’m free to head to Madison County to camp ⛺ and ride trail 🚵 assuming that I can get the day off but it doesn’t look like a problem from the work calendar 🗓.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:40 pm with sun having an altitude of 32.4° from the due south horizon (-38.4° vs. 6/21).

Got Udemy Business installed on my phone 📱 which allows you to take free online classes on a wide variety of technical ⚙ and computer 🖥 classes online with your library card 💳 at least those libraries that offer it 📚 which looks like mostly just the Bethlehem Library locally. I’m enrolled in a class on the basics of remote sensing 🌎 which is about using satellites 🛰 to detect what is happening on earth’s surface. Interesting stuff so many great classes offered. 🧑‍🏫

I survived my vaxxing 💉 and while I noticed my shoulder was a bit sore 💪🏻come the middle of the night it was worth it to know I’m significantly protected from the latest in the COVID and flu strains. Took both shots to the left arm. It was a nice walk 🚶 to the pharmacy, and no I didn’t become autistic and stab myself with a knife 🗡 or go crazy 🤪 donate any money 💵 to Sandy’s Hookers Promise. Honestly the only side effect I’ve had feels like an afternoon at the range with the kick of a shotgun. With ammo I bought down at West Virginia, lol 😂. Don’t tell Governor Hokey that. She should be just proud that I got my jabs and now the geriatrics and mentally retarded immune suppressed children won’t die, or so we’ve been told. Actually at this point the pharmacy ⚕ isn’t even filling out the COVID cards 🎴 and it was quick in an out, no crowds or this fake bullshit vaccine patriotism of a few years back.

It was a pleasant evening for that walk. 🏃‍♀️ As I won’t be riding home after tonight, I should plan to start doing more evening walks. I think I got out of the habit after riding home and being tired, after having a good meal and wanting to retire to bed with a book. 📖 But I really need to start doing more steps if I’m riding less. Got home and shredded some apples in the food processor 🍎 with cinnamon and ginger, had a good glass of water 🥛 and some yogurt in hope of avoiding the worse effects of the flu and COVID vaccine.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 38 degrees at 6am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 27th. South wind 8 to 13 mph.

Normally I wouldn’t head out of town right after vacation 🛻but it’s November and rifle season starts in two weeks and it might be cold and wet next week though the forecast has improved recently. The other director is off around Thanksgiving 🦃 so that makes it difficult for me to extend that weekend plus I wouldn’t want to miss turkey day and we may have snow by then. Who know, winters coming. ☃️

Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a high of 56 degrees at 4pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 31st. South wind around 7 mph.

Good evening! Mostly clear and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around noontime. 🌡️

Cold evening for the walk 🚶 but actually pretty normal for winter but after the January that was it feels even colder but truth is that I’m just not used to it. But by next week things will be pushing 50 again. 🏢 Ever since I stepped out of the office this evening it was so cold out, even though I feel comfortable inside as I turned on the space heater then the electric blanket.

I had a rough day 😕 though I realize my problems are all inside my head. It’s a tough world out there, I have to do the best I can to navigate it and invest in my own future 🔮 and not take on other people’s problems. A lot of things are unfair and I often think I’m getting a raw deal 🤝 but I have it a lot better off then many people.

I watched somebody run a stopped school 🚸 bus this morning and then I found out that the state tightened who could free file this year, so I’m left studying my options for how to file my taxes. 📂 Maybe I’ll do paper 📄. But it made me angry 😡 especially after hearing how state leaders want to expand benefits for migrants. I think our state should encourage immigration but people should be working and encouraged to open businesses. Taxed enough already, especially when I’ve worked so hard and the government is handing out freebies left and right.

I never understood the anger 💢 of my dairy farming friend over government welfare benefits to the poor but when you work your ass off at 5 am, 🐮 and pay a shit ton of taxes on your land, you can understand the anger. Farms pay remarkably high taxes in New York even after all the programs. I know the feeling.

At 7 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (107°) at an altitude of 58° from the horizon, some 249,989 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 10^th.

South wind 6 to 11 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 27 degrees. The record high of 53 was set in 1981. 11.9 inches of snow fell back in 2015.❄

The truth is I’m just bitter about the cold today. 🌬️ The sun was nice but it was just such a nasty reminder about winter. I really want to get away from the long cold winters of New York but everything just takes so much longer financially and on my life then I would hope. I keep saving for a better tomorrow but I always feel like I’m treading on thin ice, if not falling through the ice gasping 😲 for air. Somehow at age 40 I thought I would be farther along in life, be more financially secure and have my own land 🚜. I just work so hard, and it’s such a slap in the face. But I’ll keep pushing, as I understand the power of compounding.
