Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 52 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 42 degrees. The skies will clear Wednesday around 1 pm.

I am back home 🏡 as it’s going to rain tomorrow in Central NY and quite honestly I don’t want to drive home at 5 or 6 pm tomorrow in the dark especially in rain. Plus working all day under a tarp or in the truck doesn’t seem like much fun.

To be sure, it was a beautiful weekend 🍂 even if clouds pushed in early on Sunday. No rain ☔ but it was cold on Cherry Ridge 🍒 Camping Area 🏕 and I didn’t have the whole area so I couldn’t listen to Jason Aldean as loud as I wanted 🎶 while getting drunk 🍻 next to roaring fire 🔥. But the fire was big enough for a while that I was plenty to warm next to it.

I am cleaning out the cooler now ❇️ and I’ll get things ready to put back in the crawl space by morning. Then things will be packed up. With the late sunrise 🌅 and my busy schedule I’m not planning any further trips ⛺ until November. This year I doubt I’ll have enough time to take a full week off of work though in November as I often do.

It was nice hiking up at Partridge Run 🦆 although while I saw some common field birds and a few Ruffled Grouse not a lot of wildlife but it may have been the time of day. 🐿 So many chipmunks but the woods is so full of rodents lately.

Had a really nice Sunday dinner with the folks 🍲 and brought home some leftovers for later in the week. I had to tap my brakes when I saw a deer 🦌 and it fell off the seat but it was fine. Also mom made a good apple 🍏 pie 🥧.

Should be a nice Monday to get down to work. 💼 Probably work down at the library parking lot 🅿 for a while and then out back. With the sun setting early not a lot of time to get down to the park 🏞 after work these days.

My boots 👢 are in rough shape so I need to order tomorrow replacements. Probably just the same type I have and get them online to ensure they have my size without having to make a special trip to the store 🏬 to buy them.

Good evening! Mostly clear under the Harvest Moon and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌕 Calm wind. A bit cool sitting out back but the moonlight is nice and it won’t be long before the evenings are too cold to sit out back.

It’s been a busy and crazy week 🤪 with so many changes to the world and work that seems non stop, sometimes going into the wee hours of the morning. 💤 Between retiring to bed early last night 🛏 and sleeping in on the dark rainy morning I did get well caught up on my sleep.

The whole thing about the president getting Coronavirus 👾 is both totally crazy and predictable. 😷 Nobody likes wearing a mask or having to social distance but it seems that it makes a big difference. Virus math is tough to beat. That said with the president’s advanced age and less than physically fit body 💪🏻 I can’t imagine he will survive it without serious health consequences.

I already really like my new blog theme 📝 which is probably one of the most minimalist themes I’ve ever used but I think it does a really nice job of displaying my photos 📸 and sharing my world. 👤 I like telling my story and then from time to time flipping on back. Fixed a few things in the mobile 📱 version but there is still more to fix.

I need to get contact solution and butter 🏪 so I probably need to go to the grocery store tomorrow. I might just also walk 🚶🏻 out to Five Rivers 🐦 and do some bird watching. Plus I want to trim my hair 💈 with the cutting tools I have and take a shower 🚿 – the last time I bathed was Tuesday because I’ve been remote working and I don’t need to be really clean for Zoom although I have been shaving and washing my face.

I want to get out camping 🏕 and traveling again soon but it’s tough being so busy with work these days. I’m hoping to do one trip out to Madison County on a few weeks – although probably not Columbus Day Weekend ⛵ as I want to avoid the crowds. 👪
