Just a little spring time rain 🌧️
So far it’s been a pretty gentle rain though it’s expected to pick up mid morning. It will help with the progress of springtime but he done by the evening.
Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Rain showers a around and 58 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southeast breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees. The skies will clear around 6 pm.
Out walking this morning 🚶 before the rain gets heavy. 20 ½ miles on Saturday doing Blodgett Hill and only 9 ¼ yesterday though I ended up doing 3 ½ of them pushing a wheel chair around the Crossings in Colonie.
Today will have showers, mainly before 3pm. 🌦 High of 62 degrees at 2pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 20th. Maximum dew point of 55 at 7am. 🏖️ South wind 9 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

The record high of 91 was set in 2002. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1965.❄
Not as warm today, but the same is true for all of week. 🌷 But not real cold either, heat is staying off. Last month my electric and gas bill fell to $61 which is great. With the base fees and the energy used by the refrigerator and hot water heater I doubt it will go much below that.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:56 pm with sun having an altitude of 57.8° from the due south horizon (-13° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.8 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer.
Blodgett Hill Hike on Saturday was fun ⛰ but walking twenty miles really make it an all day activity. Definitely spring time with all the cow slurry 🐮 I passed by from Stanton’s dairy getting all that cow manure and water 💦 out on the fields before planting. Blodgett Hill was nice, they’ve removed a bunch more White Pine 🎍 from the summit improving views and the Pitch Pine – Scrub Oak habitat.
The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:01 pm with the sun in the west (279°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (285°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:39 pm after setting for 3 minutes with dusk around 8:08 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:44 pm.

Today will have 13 hours and 31 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 46 seconds over yesterday.
After the Blodgett Hill Hike, I got thinking about getting my bicycle 🚲 roadworthy again. I did a careful analysis all that was broken and the process of replacing the broken spokes myself. Spoke replacement isn’t hard but I never had a cassette removal tool to pull the gears to get to the broken spokes. I also need to replace one of the derailer cables but I believe that I could be on the road and bicycle commuting by May. It unlocks a lot of possibilities for motor free travel in the region, especially nowadays with so many parks and bicycle routes. Plus I really like the idea of saving bus fares by riding my bike to work.

Good morning! Happy Friday. Cloudy, dark and 51 degrees for the morning walk 🚶 in the land of the Delmaratian. Maybe the reason it’s so dark is that it’s still 6:15 and February but I’m moving. There is a south breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 49 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. ☃️
Grabbed my hoodie and headed out and then took it off. 😰 Only a few more hours of the warmth though before the mercury starts dropping. That said, it wont get that cold tonight as it’s still February but I don’t be leaving my windows open while at work today. But April is like 45 days off a fact I’m sure my friends in the government budget office are well aware of.

No rain yet ☔ but I’d say there is a decent chance I’ll taking the bus from the stop closest to where I live at 8 though who knows. Often they are overly pessimistic when it comes to rain. There are a ton of dog 🐶 walkers out bright and early today. Probably because it’s so mild.

Probably heading out of town for the weekend 🌦️ but I’m not set on it. Going to be mild for sure though after Sunday more cloudy. I sleep so much better after a few nights in the woods and I doubt I’ll have much of a chance come March until maybe later in April.

January 17, 2023 Night
Good evening! Cloudy and 32 degrees in Delmar for the evening walk. ☁ Calm wind. The sidewalks are a bit icy from the freezing rain earlier and I’m sure the news media is declaring the slippery roads a dire emergency that deserves governmental action but I’m like whatever, stay home or use caution. I’m glad I ran to the store 🏬 yesterday.
The truth is with my new boots – which are finally broke in 🥾 I have decent traction on the ice and the freezing rain is kind of mixed in Delmar so it’s not super icy yet. And it’s getting warmer. I seriously thought about skipping my evening walk 🚶 but lately I’ve been on a roll with my steps 👣 and I didn’t want to have a down day. You know how those steps apps can get your butt moving.
It was a very typical psuedo Monday at the office 🏢. I ended up running late and catching the later local to work 🚍 and then doing the walk of shame into my office though I don’t think any the other directors caught me coming in late. I’m usually one of the first ones in as I take the express bus and then walk the Plaza before work so I’m usually in well before nine. Busy left work at 6:15 pm and it was raining hard this evening. I’m definitely noticing that the days are getting longer and are sunnier in the evening.

I was reading that January 22nd is the Lunar New Year 🌑 that is the big Chinese celebration that the western press either will chew out saying it’s going to lead to bad air pollution in China 🇨🇳 or as a super spreader event for the COVID with everybody having some fun. 🎇 As because everybody in the press is a Debbie Downer about fun when it’s not America 🇺🇸. Honestly though I’m excited about the year of the rabbit 🐰. I was reading the horoscopes for the year, the complete psuedo science they are, just for fun.
