Good evening! Partly clear and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 10 am. 🌡️

Busy day 💻and while I worked from home it still seemed like the time past quickly. 🕒 I thought I’d be very cranky with the lack of sleep I got last night 😵 but things turned out fine. I was glad to at least get outside for my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I sure hope midwinter I won’t be penned up for remote work – I like working downtown where I can go for a walk during lunch time.

Cold night tonight, going to feel more like Christmas Time 🎅🏿🎄 then late October. Than again, tomorrow is Halloween 🎃 and November the next day. Colder weather ain’t uncommon today.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 20 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around December 18th. Calm wind. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 18 occurred back in 1988.

I decided it’s cold enough tonight ❄ to warrant turning on the heat ♨ a bit before bed. Very damp outside, it would have been very cold in Brookfield and probably a lot of snow. 😨 I’m sure after walking 🚶🏻 tonight I made the right decision to stay home. 🎃 That said halloween camping under the full moon would have been fun. 👻

Tonight will have a Full 🌝 Moon with 99% illuminated. At 9 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (113°) at an altitude of 34° from the horizon, some 252,272 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by May 10^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Blue 🌝 Moon is on Saturday, October 31.

Tonight will have 13 hours and 38 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 36 seconds over last night.

The moonlight is nice tonight 🌕 now that the clouds are parting with Halloween 🦇 Blue Moon. Anytime Halloween has a full moon by definition it’s a blue moon. But it was kind of damp while I was out my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I guess next to a fire 🔥 it wouldn’t be that bad but next weekend looks sunnier ☀ and warmer even if with the time change 🕒 the sun sets early. More time for cooking and hanging out by the fire. With the music 🎶 and lights I’ve never had an issue with a bear 🐻 at camp.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 42 degrees at 3pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 29th. Light and variable wind.

First morning of the year – well the season waking up to snow. ❄ Landlord didn’t need to plow the driveway or anything like that but it’s still a bit of a winter wonderland outside. Roads are just wet, I don’t think they applied salt locally. More slop than anything else.

I decided with the rain and drizzle and cold weather 🌧 to stay in town this weekend. I think it’s going to stay in town this weekend – everything in the woods is going to be wet and muddy and I don’t want to get my truck covered in salt and mud. ❄ Next weekend looks much nicer and I can probably get out in the woods without my phone 📱 ringing every two minutes for work.

This morning it sure was hard to get out of bed, 🛏 I did not sleep well. It also was a cold and damp morning and it doesn’t help that I don’t have the heat on yet. ♨ But then again, I plan to work from home 🏡 so I didn’t need to get a really early start. Next week I’ll be working downtown 🏢 but at least with the time change I won’t have to get such an early start.

Definitely a dreary start to the morning. ⛄ But the snow is kind of pretty if you can say that about snow. I’m kind of tired though of the cold and the rust belt which really lasts more than half the year. It’s just so cold and dark in these northerly climates. And working from home feels so cooped up. At least downtown it’s a change.

I don’t mind winter camping in the cold weather ❄ but this is obnoxiously cold for winter. I might actually need to turn on the heat before bed if it’s going to be that cold. Probably in Brookfield it will only be in the single digits.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 46 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 20th. Calm wind.

Tomorrow sounds pretty nice but I expect to be pretty busy with work 🐸 but I might find time to get to Five Rivers in the afternoon. Extra hour of sleep tomorrow night with the time change 🕒 which is good because I’m kind of feeling shitty today 🕒 as I didn’t sleep well last night. I have a lot of trouble sleeping in the winter months. I try to aggressively limit my blue light exposure but there is only so much I can do.

Kind of a dreary day. ☔ I worked from home all day and it poured for most of the afternoon into the evening but I guess it’s helping with the rain deficit. Being so wet and with increased threat of snow and ice I’m calling off my weekend plans – even though with work they never were realistic. I would have spent half my weekend shivering in a tent next to the heater and laptop.

I thought originally it would clear out early tomorrow but hearing all that rain pound down ☔ I’m pulling the plug on the weekend for staying closer to home 🏡 and working from home and then going out to the folks house on Sunday. 🍲

I am leaning towards voting in person on Tuesday now. 🗳 I thought about mailing 📬 my ballot back on Monday just to stick my tongue 😝 out at the system but it silly and it turns out that my polling place has moved across from the bus stop. 🚏I’ll just vote on my way to work or if there is a line drop off my absentee ballot.

Next Wednesday is the Day After Election Day 🚿If you haven’t voted by then you’ll have to the start of the Early Vote period in mid June 2021. I wonder if we will be wearing masks when we vote then. 😷 At least the lines shouldn’t be so long for the local Early Vote. ❎ Rain and 41 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 6 am. ☃️ We might get some snow come Friday morning, but I think it will be more of a nuisance snow, more glob then anything else.

I decided to catch the bus 🚍 downtown and work in the office 🏢 today. It didn’t seem like a really good day to be working down at the library parking lot 📚 and my apartment is cold and damp as I’ve not turned on the heat. Plus I expect with the clouds and dark skies, the under voltage relay would tripping ⚡ on the load of the laptop. Plus I’m thinking 💭 it best to get in the habit of going to work because I expect soon I’ll be working downtown full time again.

In 1956, Elvis Presley receives a polio vaccination on national TV. 💉This single event is credited with raising immunization levels in the United States from 0.6% to over 80% in just six months. The polio virus was scary but science helped combat it. 🤓 There is still some hope for mankind. Hopefully the national nightmare will be over in six months as the orange man packs 📦 up his bags.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Final Tuesday in October. 🎃 Next Tuesday is Election Day 2020 🗳️. Easy to forget if you don’t own one of those colored televisions. 📺 I probably should return my absentee ballot 🗳 soon. Certainly post mark it by next Tuesday.

Mostly because I want a check ☑ box next to two ought two ought on my buff card 💳. Not like there are competive elections locally. I am still hoping to drop it off at the Early Vote site to save the 55 cents, if the crowds taper off. While there may be a separate drop off box 🗃, I don’t want to be in crowds during a pandemic. 👾I figure my government file 📂 is big enough, might as well have some good things in it. I’m not hopeful at dropping the ballot off today, the line is over 500 feet before 9 o’clock. 👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👧‍👧👩‍👩‍👦

Out for my morning walk. 🚶🏻 Rain has stopped and it’s a pretty nice day. Colors in the mountains are faded. ⛰ After my walk I’m going to take a quick shower 🚿 and then head downtown 🚍 for the Tuesday meetings 👥 and work sessions.

Governor Ronald Reagan in 1964 delivers a speech on behalf of the Republican candidate for president, Barry Goldwater. The speech launches his political career and comes to be known as “A Time for Choosing”. 👴🏻 🎤👨🏻‍💼 Honestly much of the kookiness that was Goldwater grafted on to Billy Fuscillo became Trump. Biden is a throw back to an earlier era but I expect he’s competent and probably will be a power broker with all his experience in the Senate. I do hope Trump loses even though I don’t like Biden being unchecked.

I am thinking about going out to Brookfield this weekend to hunt 🐇🐿️and camp ⛺ but it depends on how much snow we get 🌨 as I am not ready to deal with icy and salt covered roads yet. Might be fun but cold though camping out on Halloween 🦇 🎃 👻 under a blue moon. 🌕 Maybe get candy 🍬 so I can give out to the kids that don’t stop by in the wilderness. But candy is good to eat 😋 and watch the wrappers burn up in fire 🔥.

Kind of a chilly, wet morning but I woke up early and got some coffee ☕ going. A very dark for one more Monday until we set the clock back for extra daylight in the morning but very dark evenings 🌃 ahead. Happens every year. That’s called changing the way time, something all the cranks hate but I don’t like going to work in the dark. 🐮 I had to walk to the store this morning to get milk 🥛 for the coffee. One benefit to living in the land of the suburbanite.

It’s a rainy morning ☔ with the drizzle but I’m out for my morning walk🚶‍♂️because I didn’t get out last night. One advantage to walking in the rain, no joggers 🧜‍♀️to run you over.

Soon I expect to be working downtown every day, so on days I don’t have to wear my suit 👨🏻‍💼, I hope to be taking the express bus 🚌 downtown. The walk to the park and ride 🚏helps to clear my mind. Plus, it’s a one stop trip from the Park and Ride to the Emperors Plaza. 🚄 On a nice day, the views of the mountains and Plaza are nice.

I am looking at the weekend forecast 🔭 🌞 but the real question 🙋🏻‍♂️ is when will the rain and snow 🌨 depart on Friday and how truly cold ❄ will it be for camping if I go out to Brookfield and do some small game hunting 🐿 🔫 and enjoying the woods. 🐎🌲🌲🌲

Cold but sunny morning 🌄 at least after the sun rose over the horizon. A week from now with the time change time it will be only 7:30. That will make mornings a lot easier to get started especially as next month it looks like I’ll be catching the bus 🚍 downtown and going back to work 🏢. The work at home thing was kind of fun but with winter coming working out at the library parking lot 📚 isn’t going to be much fun in the cold.

That said I’m looking at also possibly getting a cellular wireless card for my laptop. 🖥 If I’m just using it for work, it’s unlikely I’ll need more than 5-10 gb of data for work and the occasional Zoom Meetings can be fine from the library. Data is a lot more affordable than in the past but I don’t want to have to pay for a regular internet connection at home or the fracked gas energy ⚡ to power a router 24-7. That said, I’m still hoping soon the library fully reopens and I’ll be back work downtown 🏢 and it will be a moot point. 👉🏻 📶

Yesterday I finally got the mantles for the lantern 🏮 and disassembled it for cleaning. I need more carburetor cleaning spray now as the old rusty can leaked a few weeks making my kitchen stink for a few days. 👃🏻 But rinsing it out and spraying it with WD 40 it should be good to go with the nights getting long at camp. Electric light is fine but I like the backup of propane lighting in case the battery voltage drops or a plug 🔌 gets unplugged.

In 1962, in the Cuban Missile Crisis, 🚀 Adlai Stevenson shows photos at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council proving that Soviet missiles are installed in Cuba. 🇨🇺 Fortunately cooler heads prevailed 🤯 and there was no nuclear war. 💣⚛ That said, Adlai Stevenson didn’t have much hair 👴🏻 on his head so he was always cool headed.
