March leaves like a wet lion ๐Ÿฆ

I’m out walking though not as early as I often do as I slept well but was a bit slow rising as it was a bit cold with the heat off. I probably should have turned it on but it’s going to warm up as it’s essentially April.

Good morning! So yeap, on this Friday March is almost done. Partly cloudy and 25 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ›… Calm wind.Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Cold for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถ but I’m getting it done. It certainly was colder in the winter but it’s good to get in as many steps as possible early as I think it’s going to rain later on. My ankle was bothering me last night for a while but I got my 7 1/2 miles in and it feels better today.

Today will rain, mainly after 2pm. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ High of 47 degrees at 1pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 24th.

Yesterday, I missed the express downtown ๐Ÿฐ ๐Ÿš as the bus was running like 5 minutes early, and the Real Time Bus Info was down. Heck of it is if I caught the bus at the traffic light at Delaware and Cherry I’d be good but I decided to walk down to the other bus stop so I wouldn’t have to deal with the pesky traffic light walk signal ๐Ÿšฆ which at times can be quick, but also can be incredibly slow at other times. Plus I wanted to get more steps in. It wasn’t that much of a delay, and the local got me to work a little after 9, which is still before most folks.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. โ˜บ

We are grooving our ways through the March, with April scheduled to start on Saturday but I’ll believe it when I see it. But I like getting out at five and taking the express home.

Partly sunny and 25 degrees for the morning walk on this Thursday in Delmar. ๐ŸŒ„Breezy, ๏ธ16 mph breeze from the northwest ๐ŸŒฌ . The current wind chill is 12. Honestly I don’t think it’s that cold out but maybe in the city with all those big buildings the wind is whipping around. Things will start to thaw out at around 11 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Cold day ahead but warm enough to not need the heat, โ™จ๏ธ as it will be above freezing and I’ll be at work all day.

Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a particularly warm day today ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ but I figure I’ll be in the office ๐Ÿข most of the day and the sun shining on my desk is always nice. Been a relatively quiet week but know one of these days I’ll have a bunch of projects hitting my desk.

Yesterday like usual I walked down to the park ๐Ÿšถ and got my 7.5 miles in for the day. Cooked up a big pan of rice, beans and lentils in the morning which I had with broiled salmon ๐Ÿ  and veggies which was pretty good. Got home, had some cherries ๐Ÿ’ and went to bed ๐Ÿ›.

After calling around I found a doctor ๐Ÿง‘‍โš•๏ธ that was taking new patients for my physical but not until the end of May. But I didn’t want to have to go into the city and this place is within walking distance from home which is good. It just seems wrong to drive to a doctor’s visit, kind of like smoking a cigarette the doctor gave you. ๐Ÿšฌ Gives me more time to get in shape and improve my health ๐Ÿฉบ and I’m not in that much of a rush.

Also made the appointment for my truck to be serviced on April 10th. ๐Ÿ”ง I wanted to have that done before I’m doing a lot more driving as I’m overdue for some fluid changes and with inflation trying to maximize use of my truck. ๐Ÿ›ป

Got out of work at five 5โƒฃ and caught the express bus ๐Ÿš home which actually had the in service sign on. Same bad driver, I swear he was chatting with passengers ๐Ÿ‘ฅ more than driving, swerving through traffic on 32. I guess it’s the end of his shift, he was tired. Walked 7 1/2 miles which these days is my effective weekday goal. ๐Ÿฅ… Kind of a chilly evening ๐ŸŒƒ though I sat out back for a while before retiring to bed ๐Ÿ› a little before nine.

I’ve been thinking where to hike on Saturday if I want to do twenty miles. ๐Ÿšถ I thought about Thacher Park but I don’t relish climbing the New Salem Hill or all those miles on busy highways hiking.

I thought Monday was a good day โ˜บ, getting out at five with the crappy bus driver not driving so I caught the express ๐Ÿšwhich was running a bit late but not a big deal. I bought some kale to add some more fiber to my diet which is good. Maybe I’ll use it with the eggs ๐Ÿฅš this morning. I got eggs and milk ๐Ÿฅ› last night after walking for breakfast.

So I was worried about the snow interfering with my morning walk ๐Ÿ‘ฃ but it stopped early and the sidewalks and roads are pretty much clear locally. Maybe it’s the valley snow shadow they were talking about. Truth is it’s a pretty nice morning, not real cold. But then again the average high for this time of year is 40. Depending on how much more snow we get later and how warm it gets today I could see wet sidewalks by evening and bare by tomorrow morning.

Maybe the express bus ๐Ÿš from Voorheesville will be a bit late ๐Ÿšbut I will get ready and watch it on the map ๐Ÿ—บ from inside and head out when it gets to Slingerlands. I live in the city, what do I care?

Good evening! Cloudy and 38 degrees on this Tuesday evening for the walk. ๐ŸŒฅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. They were talking about rain but I haven’t gotten wet yet. Did rain a bit earlier looking out my office window.

I was surprised to open my mail ๐Ÿ“ฎ and see the State Board of Elections sent me the Albany County Voter File on a DVD ๐Ÿ“€. Didn’t charge for it either. I had assumed that it would be a drop box link ๐Ÿ”— to download. Of course it’s a bit of a problem as my computer no longer had a DVD player installed as my other hard drive is there. I didn’t know people used DVDs with bandwidth being so cheap. I feel silly for only requesting just the county file ๐Ÿ“‚ and not the state. But I only really plan to model on county data and help local candidates this year. Next year I’ll get the state file.
