Good evening! Cloudy and 67 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a east breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 50 degrees. The skies will clear Tuesday around 1 am.

For all the commotion earlier it looks like the fire 🚒 is out or whatever all the emergency vehicles were reporting too. Maybe I’m a bit paranoid about the plastics plant blowing up but I’m well aware of toxic chemicals they use at SABIC plastics and it sure seemed like a lot of emergency response heading that way. 👮 Probably safer at home at any rate and who knows their is rain pushing this way shortly.

It’s not like I sat home and eat twinkies all day. 🍛 I did have a bowl of tuna fish salad for dinner but it probably has a quarter pound of peas and broccoli besides the noodles, mayonnaise and tuna fish. 🐠 I did hold back on the mayonnaise a bit.

Walking out to Five Rivers this afternoon was nice. 🐸 Spent several hours studying nature with the binoculars my parents lent me. It’s really fascinating to watch the birds up close and even just study squirrel and chipmunk behavior. Next up I need to get a better knowledge of bird 🐦 species – I know the common ones but especially the migratory birds are a bit of a mystery to me. I thought about Black Creek Marsh at dusk but I decided to hold off because it was getting late – after seven o’clock when I started walking home from Five Rivers.

To be honest, my plan for visiting Black Creek Marsh at dusk 🌆 wasn’t just for bird watching 🐦 or photos 📷 but in part because I was curious how effective the Permethrin would be in really buggy weather – that is with DEET on the face and arms. People swear by it and while I haven’t found any ticks on me yet and saw a mosquitoes collapse after crawling on my jeans 👖 I’m not totally convinced of the hype. I did spray my hat yesterday too. Unlike DEET I might also be able to safely apply it to the hammock which would help with the bugs when I’m lying there.

Tonight will be scattered sprinkles before 11pm, then showers likely, mainly after 3am. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 53 degrees at 5am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 2nd. Maximum dew point of 50 at 9pm. East wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1981.

Tonight will have a Waining Crescent 🌘 Moon with 19% illuminated. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 4:59 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:32 am in the east-northeast (62°) and last for 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Sunrise is 57 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:13 am with sun in the east-northeast (69°). Tonight will have 9 hours and 16 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 57 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have showers likely, mainly before 9am. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 65 degrees at 3pm. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 2nd. Maximum dew point of 50 at 10am. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 73 degrees. The record high of 94 was set in 2017. 2.2 inches of snow fell back in 2002.❄

In four weeks on June 14 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (303°) at 8:34 pm,🌄 which is 21 minutes and 28 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 68 and 53 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 78 and 56 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 1892.

So the Gas Up tractor and agricultural festival is canceled for June. 🚜 I think that was kind of expected during the pandemic although they’re considering trying to reschedule for mid August. Could be hot then I’m thinking though. Assuming it’s even an option then – they didn’t seem too hopeful. 😔

Looking ahead, Strawberry Moon 🌕 is in 3 weeks and Fathers Day 👨 is in 4 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 5 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

I was doing some reading on the internet and found out that the lower part of Piseco Powley Road is still not fully rebuilt from the October 2019 storm and that the road is closed. ⛺ So I guess that’s out for the weekend. Hopefully soon though they’ll finish the rebuild and open the gates all the way. There are other options but with the nice weather expected and the state campgrounds closed they’ll fill up quickly.

So the original plan of delaying my Memorial Day Weekend for one week is back on the agenda. 🔙 That’s fine, it gives me more time to pack and potentially opens up more options as there will be fewer people camping, especially if I drive up Thursday evening or Friday morning on a non holiday weekend. I never did a spring trip this year with a long weekend so I have the time.

Come June for example, it’s likely Perkins Clearing Road and West River Road and White House in Wells will open. 🚧 But also I expect I could get that campsite up on Pumpkin Hollow Road when on a non holiday weekend. If it’s hot though it would be nice to be able to walk to water. Betty Brook or Duck Pond are good options in Schoharie County. 💭

East Branch Sacandaga River is fine but it’s noisy 🐠 and the river isn’t that great for fishing due to the fluctuating water levels. A drought in summer – as was a case a few years ago can leave the river with only a few inches of water. Right now, Cherry Ridge and Finger Lakes National Forest are closed for camping.

Maybe Moose River will be my summer vacation if Piseco Powley Road ⛺ is not rebuilt. While I assume ny mid summer that the Finger Lakes National Forest will reopen for camping if the pools and beaches aren’t open I’m sure if I’d want to do summer vacation there.

Other options include the Allegheny and Green Mountain National Forest. 🗻 The later is open but who knows if the current limits on out of state visitors will be lifted by summer. That Grout Pond beach is fun and some of sites along Forest Road 73 not only have good sun ☀ for solar but also cell reception.

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 60 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 46 degrees. Remarkably mild for this late in the night for mid May but then again it is mid May. Seems like it was March the last time I worked downtown, well actually it was. I haven’t been downtown since probably April when I picked up the work laptop.

It was a a beautiful spring day and I spent as much time as possible outdoors. 🌸 Things are still fairly gray in the hill towns on the hills but at the same time many other places are quite green. This afternoon I hiked a Thacher Park 🌿and this evening hiked at the Pine Bush well after dark 🌃 – from 10 pm to 11:30 to be exact.

I would have stayed longer but my knee was aching from the Lyme Disease. 🐜 I hadn’t taken the pill before I left for the evening. The doxycycline is controlling the symptoms but I’m not convinced it’s killing the Lyme and it may return when the medication runs out on Monday. If necessary I guess I’ll see my doctor again. 😷 One good thing about working from home is it makes scheduling easier. Plus I didn’t want to stay too late and be fatigued driving home. 🏡

It seemed like the Permethrin worked well on my clothes. 👚 So far no ticks I’ve found and the one black fly that landed on my jeans was crippled before it could bite. Didn’t protect my face from bugs out hiking but my arms were good as I applied Picardin to them. 😵 As much as I have pause about bathing myself in chemicals, ticks are insane this year and I am very worried about getting sick from Lyme and not recovering. Already I’m not doing great. I’m not willing to become a shut in just to avoid ticks.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 49 degrees at 5am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 21st. Calm wind. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 30 occurred back in 1959.

Tonight will have a Waining Crescent 🌘 Moon with 26% illuminated. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 5:00 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:33 am in the east-northeast (63°) and last for 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Sunrise is 59 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:13 am with sun in the east-northeast (69°). Tonight will have 9 hours and 18 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 59 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 71 degrees at 3pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 20th. Maximum dew point of 50 at 10am. Calm wind becoming southeast around 6 mph in the afternoon. Might be a decent day. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 73 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 2017.

So I’m pretty sure I’m going to delay my Memorial Day Weekend trip for the week after. ⛺ I’ve been on and off but I don’t think the weather will be all that great for Memorial Day Weekend based on the latest forecast and I’m not convinced that the gates north of the potholers will be open this year for Memorial Day Weekend. Been so wet and I know they had to rebuild the road last fall and with the pandemic everything is messed up. I’m thinking I might take Friday and Monday the week after Memorial Day and camp three nights either at the House Pond campsite or maybe up at Powley Place at one of the sandy open sites where I can use the solar to keep my batteries 🔋 charged and hang my hammock and set up my screen tent 🎪 for black fly prevention.

I am running low on socks and a few other supplies 🏪 which I will probably order from Walmart online but I’ve found it hard to come up with a $35 order for free shipping 📦 as the online store actually lacks a lot of the products that the regular stores would have in normal times. Walmart isn’t stocking any non food items in their retail outlets so if they sell out, it’s gone.

In four weeks on June 13 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (303°) at 8:34 pm,🌄 which is 22 minutes and 2 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 65 and 57 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 77 and 56 degrees. The record high of 94 degrees was set back in 1892.

Looking ahead, Memorial Day Weekend Starts 🏕️ is in 1 week, and Summer ️⛱️ is in 5 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 6 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Could be a stormy one later on as often happens in May. Three weeks to 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️. Cloudy and 58 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 52 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 am. That said, it’s nice to sleep with the windows open all night.

I think I will go for a walk this morning 🚶 before work. Once my day gets underway I’ll take my wash down to the laundromat and get that done while working on my laptop in my truck. 👚 Besides washing my clothes, I want order those things that I couldn’t get at Wally World.

Today will have a chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 5pm. Some storms could be severe, with heavy rain.

Tomorrow I think I will go hiking 🚶 probably at the back part of Thacher Park. ⛲ While the forecast has improved somewhat for Sunday but I’m not thinking it’s going to be a real nice weekend. ☁ I’m still chewing over Memorial Day Weekend but only if I can get Friday off an leave by dawn to get the best possible campsite. And it depends on the forecast a lot.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ when the sun will be setting at 8:29 pm with dusk at 9:04 pm. On that day in 2019, we had rain and temperatures between 83 and 55 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 75 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1925.

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. The weekend is getting closer but working from home it doesn’t seem like much of a change. Six weeks to Latest Sunset 🌆. Sunny and 36 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a west breeze at 6 mph. 🍃.

Another sunny but cool day on tap. ⛲ I will probably go for my morning walk 🚶 before walk and get some fresh air before getting down to work at nine. Maybe if it’s warm enough I’ll sit out back for work. 🐦 Birds are chirping this morning but still cool for mid May. But the heat is coming starting in about a week. Going to be hot to round out the month.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 57 degrees at 3pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 13th. Northwest wind 6 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.

There was a dusting of snow in 1953.❄

I have a list of things 📃 I’d like to get at Walmart today. I’m thinking of going shopping during my lunch break to avoid the crowds. I need a spray bottle for the Permethrin application to my jeans 👖 as I want to try that out tomorrow maybe after going to the laundromat when there is still sun to dry the clothes outside. I also need to get some socks, frozen fruit for breakfast and snacks, more meat and eggs 🍳. Also maybe another pair of Bluetooth headphones. 🎧

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 65.9° from the due south horizon (-4.9° vs. 6/21). Doesn’t get much higher in the sky. A six foot person will cast a 2.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:29 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (290°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (297°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:10 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 8:41 pm, which is one minute and 4 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:22 pm.

Chance of precipitation is 50%. Maximum dew point of 49 at 1pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 70 degrees.

The weekend forecast still looks decent Saturday ☀ but also not so great for Friday and Sunday. I think my best option is to stay home this weekend. Maybe I will go up north Memorial Day Weekend. If I do that I’ll probably take off a week from Friday and leave before dawn on Friday to ensure that I can get a campsite. Probably Piseco Powley Road ⛺ but maybe not. It depends a lot on the final forecast – saying all of Memorial Day Weekend will be 80 and sunny is uncertain. If I do go up north that will be after spraying my clothes with Permethrin and using the screen house 🎪 as it’s bound to be buggy.

Looking ahead, there are 6 weeks until Latest Sunset 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:12 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly cloudy and temperatures between 85 and 56 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 80 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 1943.

Good evening! Heavy rain and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 3 am. ☃️ Just rain so far here but I expect it will be snow by morning. It will melt fairly quickly but I think it’s fair to expect you might see some snow on the grass locally and more out in the hill towns.

A pretty good day. The morning was really beautiful and I was feeling great. 😊 Worked outside for a while. As the day progressed it clouded up but was nice to end the day in the woods well except for finding poison ivy on my hand ✋ and realizing that I think I forgot to take my doxycycline by evening due to the aches returning. 💊

I really got to treat my clothes with permethrin which is cheap and not hard to do if you buy it concentrated and mix it and make sure to let things dry before wearing. I’ll have to do most of my jeans and shirts before hiking and camping. 👚 👖 Lasts like six washes or a month or so. Safety of permethrin is pretty good as long as it’s use is for clothing or controlled in an agricultural setting. 💀I was studying the material safety sheets. Do keep it away from waterways for sure especially in agricultural quantities,which is why its a restricted pesticides for farm field applications but not for fly control on cows. 🐮

Tonight will rain before 11pm, then rain and snow likely between 11pm and 1am, then a chance of snow after 1am. 🌧 Low of 31 degrees at 5am. 14 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 31st.

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is May 9th so with the wind it’s going to be cold. ❄ My heat is off but my windows are closed again. Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner. I saw on Facebook that the town has been actively working on preparing the roads at Moose River Plains for opening in a few weeks.

I am still leaning towards the Coleman Screen house for camping 🎪 but they have two models I should make a decision this weekend or by Monday if I want it for Memorial Day Weekend even though I probably won’t camp that weekend due to the crowds but maybe take a long weekend the following week. The Coleman ones have a good review and it’s a well known brand. They have a conventional model and a newer quick pop up one which I have to study for durability and ease of putting up alone and relative size. Can’t be too big as I camp often in fairly small campsites. I like how the Coleman ones also lack floors so I won’t have to worry about spilled food, mud or beer. Make a mess, just shovel it out. Like a barnyard. 🐽 Additionally, It will be nice to have a shelter from the bugs in the day time.

Also been looking at getting a good pair of binoculars. 👓Between working out of my truck watching nature through the windshield plus spending a lot more time in the woods during the pandemic I’ve come to realize how much I like bird 🐦 watching. Plus I’ve joined a bunch of birder groups on Facebook and I’m getting a lot better at identifying birds just by thumbing through the pictures.

In four weeks on June 5 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (302°) at 8:29 pm,🌄 which is 26 minutes and 2 seconds later then tonight.

Good evening! Partly clear and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. That breeze makes it’s a bit cold. After my evening walk 🚶 I came inside and are laying on my bed.

Fairly quiet day at work today 💼 so I brought my laptop to the laundromat and worked there. Got my wash and sheets done and then worked down at the library parking lot on my laptop. Got a bunch of videos and data for future blog projects and uploaded a bunch of content to the blog. 💻

Walking on my evening walk 🚍 I saw a CDTA bus. You don’t see so many of them now that they are running only the Saturday schedule and with so few people riding them. Seems so werid to see the buses now they it’s been eight weeks since the buses shut down except for the bare bones 💀schedule 🚏and working from home.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 33 degrees at 4am. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th. Northwest wind around 10 mph.

Going to be cold but sunny tomorrow. ☀ It would be nice to work out back but I think it will be too cold. I do need to get milk 🐮 in the morning, I’ll probably buy two gallons so I’m good for the week. Next week is Stewart’s Half Gallon Ice Cream sale 🍨🍧🍦and I’m definitely looking forward. That said, I should probably cut back as lately I’ve been putting on weight. Despite my efforts to get out walking 🚶 it seems like I don’t get as much walking as I did when I was catching the bus 🚍 downtown.

In four weeks on June 1 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (302°) at 8:26 pm,🌄 which is 27 minutes and 32 seconds later then tonight.

The record high of 94 degrees was set back in 1918.

Still chewing over my summer vacation plans ⛺ but with the pandemic much may change. I’m still thinking about Piseco Powley Road for a week if I can get a camping permit for the weekend week. In a campsite with a lot of sun for the solar ok my truck and the screen house for buggy and rainy days. And maybe a swimming 🏊 hole within walking distance.

Looking ahead, Flower Moon 🌕 is in 2 weeks, Memorial Day 🇺🇸 is in 3 weeks, June 🍹 is in 4 weeks and Average High is 80 🏖 is in 7 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 18 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
