Good evening! Partly cloudy and 47 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 2 am. ☃️

So far this autumn has been pretty warm most nights ♨, so freeze warnings ⚠ have been fairly occasional even though November is right around the corner. 🦃But today was a more seasonable day so I’m not shocked 😲. Warm enough earlier I had the windows open ⬜ but now they are definitely closed as it’s gotten cold. ⬛

Exploring the Touhey Preserve was interesting 🍂🦃🐾🐿️ but it’s pretty small with only one loop trail and a few views but it’s certainly not something I’d make a special trip to visit. Five Rivers was about the same, 🐦 🕊 🦆🦗 maybe a bit more crowded than I would expect on a Saturday evening and the sun sets pretty early this time of year.

Cool 😎 but sunny tomorrow. Not totally sure my plans but I want to spend some time outdoors 🍂like I did today. I probably should try to get to the store 🛒 and return my absentee ballot 🗳 if the lines aren’t too long at the Early Vote place although maybe Monday would be best for that but it depends on how busy work is that day – I’d want to go before people get home 🏡 from work and lines build. 👨‍👩‍👦🗣️👨‍👧‍👦😷 Voting isn’t a bad idea 💡 – but in no way in hell am I going to wait in line to do it especially when there are 55 hours of Early Voting remaining and 15 hours of Election Day voting 🗳 to say nothing of just mailing ✉ the absentee ballot.

I was disappointed to hear the RIAA issued a cease and desist order to get the youtube-dl program 📺 ⬇️ taken down from github. While I have the software for now I’m sure the YouTube website 🕸 will be updated and the old program won’t no longer work. So no more downloading YouTube videos to watch at home. That said, I’m sure there will be other websites off shore that I can go to download YouTube videos or maybe even other non United States sites will provide updates to youtube-dl. 🗺 One good thing about the internet is that if one country takes something offline it typically goes off shore, especially with software that has many legal uses and with something like this that’s a python script that is easy to patch and fix.

I walked down to the Early Vote ❎ place down the road and was really surprised at the lines, with 8⃣ more days left to Early Vote plus Election Day. I mean I want to save the 55 cents in when I drop off my absentee ballot but I’m not going to wait in a big line during the middle of a pandemic. 👭👾👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👧‍👦🗣️ Especially when I can just buy a stamp and mail ✉ my absentee ballot with local elections being non competitive.

I am planning tomorrow being a stay home day, although I’m really low on groceries 🛒 and I might drop off my absentee ballot 🗳 tomorrow although I’ll probably wait until early Sunday morning. 🌅 Just get up early and walk 🚶🏻 down to the Early Vote ❎ site. I wish they did the postage paid envelopes, I heard and posted earlier about on the blog how the legislature is looking at it.

While really none of the elections locally are competive, I did pull the lever for Jo Jergenson the libertarian 🗽 for president. I don’t really have a strong 💪🏻 opinion about her but I didn’t really like either the Trumpster or Biden This Time. If the election was competive locally I’d consider Biden but I also think there are certainly benefits to having Trump in the White House with Congress being democratic. 🤔 Checks and balances. ⚖

It’s a nice evening 🌃 with the half 🌗 moon setting in the west. It almost feels like a summer night out back with the crickets 🦗 singing 🎶 and I’m listening to the final presidential debate. 🎤 🧓 Honestly not much of substance in the debate not that it matters much to me as I’ve already voted. 🗳

I went for my evening walk 🚶🏻 after a busy day working at the library. 📚 I’m still working on getting my GIS database to work on the new version of Ubuntu I upgraded my laptop to. That said I now have the latest version of Open Street Map 🗺 for making future maps.

I put away my camping gear ⛺ so no camping this weekend because Saturday looks rainy and I’m kind of busy with work.

Definitely a nice mild evening for sitting out back. 💺 I went for my evening walk, 🚶🏻 it was quiet and pleasant. Earlier I walked down to the library 📚 and worked down on the bench there. Other than that I answered most of the emails 📧 and calls from my phone and used the laptop 💻 network card for some random little work things I couldn’t do from my phone.

Still having some issues getting my Post GIS databases 💽 and the mysql databases working now that I’ve upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04. Apparently I had to restore the mysql database from the dump file from before and fully reset the postgresql due to incompatibilities. It’s a good excuse to update to the latest version of the Open Street Map database for New York State. 🗺 I’ll do that tomorrow. Also having some issues with the built in sound card after upgrading although most of the time now I use an external Bluetooth adapter. 🔌

From time to time I’ve been noticing a smokey smell in my apartment midday while working at home. ☁️ I think something electronic is running too hot but I only notice it when I’ve been working for a whilem on my laptop. I doubt it’s the computer 🖥 and I hope it’s not a wiring problem in my apartment but I don’t know. It seems more noticeable when the windows are open. I’ll figure it out eventually.

Should be another really nice day. 😎 I’ll have to work out back so I can absorb as much sun rays as possible ☀ in late October. Soon I expect to be working back in the office a lot more so it’s better to enjoy the fall weather while I still can. I’m sure though that the landlord will be around soon – probably Thursday tomorrow – with the leaf blower 🍁 so I might have to go somewhere else to work.

I think I will stay in town this weekend 🏡 because I’m going to be so busy with work and once again, Albany will have the best weather in Upstate NY. 🌦️There talking about rain and clouds in Spectulator and Cazenovia, the two places 200 miles apart I considered going this weekend but sun back in Albany. Go figure.

I keep delaying putting my camping stuff away 🏕 but I’ll probably do it tomorrow. It’s all cleaned up and ready to go back in the crawl space but if I was leaving tomorrow morning I wasn’t going to put it away.
