September 9, 2020 Morning

Good morning! What day is it? Who knows, I remote work ๐Ÿ’ป and I’m salary. โฐ So it doesn’t matter. Or as they asked at the start of the meeting yesterday, what county is Andy in this week? I was noticing that still no 719 bus ๐Ÿš or most of the commuters routes because there are so few commuters six month in the pandemic. Foggy and 60 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. ๐ŸŒซ The dew point is fifty-nine degrees.

I woke up this morning a bit stiff and sore. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป Probably Lyme disease or maybe the weather. I don’t know. I’m hoping that I will be feeling better later in the week. I did get a good night’s sleep last night. ๐Ÿ› I was going to go for my morning walk but today. That or I’m just getting old.

Today will be mostly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 83 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around July 26th. Maximum dew point of 65 at 11am.

Sunday, showers likely, mainly after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Maximum dew point of 64 at 4pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 74 degrees.

I don’t plan on going anywhere this weekend. ๐Ÿก At least not camping. I might go hiking Saturday and I was thinking possibly of going to Thatcher Park early on Friday and maybe working from there with a picnic lunch. They have Wi-Fi near the new Discovery Center. ๐Ÿ“ถ Might be a pleasant place to work from assuming that I can keep my laptop charged.

Looking ahead, there are 7 weeks until Average High is 55 ๐Ÿ‚ when the sun will be setting at 5:53 pm with dusk at 6:22 pm. On that day in 2019, we had mostly cloudy and temperatures between 60 and 45 degrees. Not typical. We hit a record high of 78 back in 1971.

Between the low dew point and breeze it’s chilly out tonight. Got my hoodie and vest on for the first time in months. Summer seems to be coming to an end. But that’s to be expected.๐Ÿ‚ All good things must end. โŒ›

Definitely cold โ„. I was laying in the hammock for a while this evening but then I sat by the fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ until I climbed under the covers in my truck. ๐Ÿ› Now I’m finishing up this blog post under the covers.

Kind of a busy day with remote working. ๐ŸŽฅ That Zoom meeting which I wasn’t expecting dragged on for almost an hour and a half but only used about 300 MB of data but I would have much preferred to do it on the Wi-Fi to save bandwidth on the work network – and because I often like to flip to other browser tabs while the meeting is going on. ๐Ÿ“ถ At least this campsite has decent enough cellphone reception and I could do a work on my phone. That said, I will probably head home on Monday just because I expect many more lengthy meetings on Tuesday and I don’t know if I will have enough sun โ˜€ at this campsite to keep things well charged.

Tonight will be mostly clear ๐ŸŒƒ, with a low of 44 degrees at 5am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 3rd. West wind 10 to 13 mph.

Laptops are power hungry. ๐Ÿ”Œ But hopefully I can use my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ for a lot of the emails and stuff, I might also use it for the Zoom Meeting today ๐Ÿ“น which I wasn’t expecting but it came up.

Towards Brodie Wind Farm

September 3, 2020 Night

Good evening! Partly clear and 62 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. There is a southwest breeze at 8 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. The dew point is 55 degrees.

A nice evening but pretty chilly. ๐ŸŒƒ The moon ๐ŸŽ‘ rising and I’m sitting by the fire. This is a nice campsite with lots of sun but I’m having problems with the data service on my phone here so I’m going to have to move to a new campsite โ›บ before work so I have reliable service for walk.

The drive up here along US 7 was pretty โ›ฐ๏ธ especially around Sutherland. Very little traffic in Albany at rush hour, mostly because of everything is still remote work with the state. ๐Ÿš˜ A few parts of Kelly Stand Road are a bit rough in a few places from being so dry and washboarded.

Tonight will be mostly clear ๐ŸŒƒ, with a low of 55 degrees at 5am. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 6th. Maximum dew point of 57 at 10pm.

A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1929.

It sure gets dark early this time of year. ๐ŸŒ† I guess that’s not that surprising in the grand scheme of things, autumn is rapidly approaching and summer is rapidly fading away. But I guess it’s a good thing because everybody wants 2020 over sooner than later although I doubt there will be much toasting out New Years Eve in 17 weeks.

Almost ready to leave after work for the Green Mountains. ๐Ÿ—ป It should be a nice weekend or so. Not totally sure when I’ll be back home ๐Ÿก but I am packing clothes for five nights. A lot depends on how things go up at camp and how the ice holds up. I guess I don’t mind making a trip for ice but I don’t want have to do it more than once and I’m sure there will be Zoom Meetings next week. ๐Ÿ“น

Dry Brook Range

September 2, 2020 Night

Good evening! Rain showers and 72 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜” There is a south breeze at 8 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. The dew point is 69 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 am.

Went to the store and are continuing to get packed. ๐Ÿ’ผ I did forget to get paper towels and extra mantles for the lantern ๐Ÿฎ so I may need to run to Walmart at lunch time. If I can find mantles in my truck, I’ll just get the paper towels at Hannaford. I don’t normally use them at home but they are handy up at camp and they burn just fine. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I got to return my overdue library books ๐Ÿ“š and renew the other ones. While there is no fines currently through November 1st due to the pandemic folks might be wanting to read about hog farming and homesteading. ๐Ÿฝ I actually could have renewed all the books timely but I didn’t care because there aren’t any fines due to the delayed returns when they quarantine the books at the depositary.

Finally took a shower ๐Ÿšฟ after four days. I was kind of feeling hot and sweaty so I took a quick shower before bed ๐Ÿ›. Yeah, I probably should do that more often but in the era of social distancing who knows how often you bathe or use deodorant. It’s not like anybody is allowed to be within 6โƒฃ feet at any rate.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 2am. Mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒง, with a low of 64 degrees at 5am. Eight degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 69 at 10pm.

At 10 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (120ยฐ) at an altitude of 18ยฐ from the horizon, some 249,694 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. ๐Ÿš€ At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by March 11th. Buckle up for safety! The darkest hour is at 12:56 am, followed by dawn at 5:54 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:23 am in the east (79ยฐ) and last for 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 4 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ„ The golden hour ends at 7:00 am with sun in the east (85ยฐ).

It should be a nice run of weather after tonight โ˜€ up in Vermont. ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ If I was packed and didn’t have that Zoom Meetings tomorrow I’d probably leave before work but I’d rather do the meeting where I have library bandwidth to do it. ๐Ÿ“น It should be nice working up in Vermont, just need to make sure that I get a campsite โ›บ with good cell service for work. I’ll have my work laptop but hopefully most things I can do for my phone.

Most of the long weekend looks quite cool so I’m packing my heater so I can warm up quickly โ™จ๏ธ on the cold mornings. I don’t expect many days will be above 70 in Vermont which will be good in the sense the ice will last longer. I concede I will probably have to get ice by Monday, depending on how long I stay in Vermont. I am freezing all the meat ๐Ÿฅฉ and cheeses ๐Ÿง€ for the cooler but I know ice won’t last forever. โ„

I extended my blog contract yesterday for three 3โƒฃ more years. ๐Ÿ“ I like doing the blog and it’s only like $390 for 3 years so it’s not expensive. At one point I experimented with web ads and brought in like $120 but it is really ain’t a big expense. People spend a ton more on cable service or even streaming video. ๐Ÿ“บ Next paycheck I’ll increase my investing but for now the extra money will pay for the car insurance and the web hosting at least in part. ๐Ÿ•ธ

In four weeks on September 30 the sun will be setting in the west (266ยฐ) at 6:38 pm,๐ŸŒ„ which is 49 minutes and 30 seconds earlier then tonight.

September 2, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Corn Moon ๐ŸŒ•! Rain showers and 66 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜” There is a south-southeast breeze at 8 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. The dew point is 62 degrees.

Another rather dreary day โ˜๏ธ and then we have a long stretch of nice weather ahead. โ˜€๏ธGoing to be a nice weekend so I’m heading up to Vermont I think tomorrow after work will do the remote work thing from there for a while. Going to be fairly cool so I’m hoping I can leave with ice I have and maybe get coffee creamer for once the ice runs out because it’s a pain to run to town from there. ๐Ÿฅƒ I thought about leaving today or tomorrow before work to ensure that I can get a campsite with good cell service and solar for power. ๐Ÿ”Œ

Today will have showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after noon. Mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฆ, with a high of 71 degrees at 1pm. Six degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 18th. Maximum dew point of 70 at 4pm. South wind 8 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

It became sticky as the day progressed. The high last year was 76 degrees. The record high of 100 was set in 1953.

I plan to start packing ๐Ÿ’ผ as time allows today and will go shopping ๐Ÿ›’ tonight for food and supplies. I don’t need a lot but I want to have enough to eat for at Five nights, with the last two with minimal ice in the cooler. Not going to be real hot so the ice should last longer this time. I am thinking I will bring the propane heater โ™จ๏ธ to warm my hands ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป because some of the mornings might be chilly.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:56 pm with sun having an altitude of 55.1ยฐ from the due south horizon (-15.7ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 4.2 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 6:52 pm with the sun in the west (275ยฐ). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-northwest (281ยฐ) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:29 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 57 seconds with dusk around 7:56 pm, which is one minute and 43 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 8:33 pm.

Yes, I would say it looks like a very nice weekend to end summer. ๐Ÿฆ‹ Not super warm but sunny. I am sure in some places in the mountains we will be starting to see colors popping up. ๐Ÿ‚ Looking forward to a few days in the woods although I do actually think some of the autumn trips I’m planning will be even more fun. No Moose River Plains this year though because I need cellphone reception for work. I do like the idea of spending some time in Central NY where I can run to libraries for the Zoom Meetings and anytime I need a lot of bandwidth for work.

I got my first bigger paycheck yesterday. ๐Ÿ’ฐThe money is nice but it’s actually not that much when I figure in retirement and taxes. Probably going to invest or save virtually all of it because I don’t need more garbage to have to pay to get of at the transfer station ๐Ÿ—‘. It’s more fun to watch my investments and savings grow โ™ and look at off-grid properties on Facebook then spend the money. I just find there is too much stuff today and for most things the less you have the happier ๐Ÿ˜Š you are as everything you buy always breaking down. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

One month ๐Ÿ“… from now, the Average High is 65 ๐Ÿ‚ when the sun will be setting at 6:34 pm with dusk at 7:02 pm.
