I am pretty good although I slept in 😴 because I woke early and ended up listening to the news before falling back asleep again. 📻 Then I got working on a bunch of different projects on my computer. I am trying to stay off the internet – the amount of doom scrolling 📜 one can do is a terrible waste of time.

As I noted yesterday heading out to the parents house for a socially distant Thanksgiving around tray tables. 👨‍👧‍👧↔️🧔🏻🍗🍽️ It will be fun to do before everything really shuts down as the pandemic really climbs the next few weeks. I’m already planning to work primarily from home this winter 🏡💻, having figured out how to do it with my phone as a hot spot.

I have the groceries I need and will be heading up to the Adirondacks tomorrow for a few days. ⛺ I do think I want to stop for hot coca ☕ on the way up there and maybe a few other supplies but I want to get up there pretty early as the sun sets early 🌇 this time of year. Do some short hiking from camp, listen to a lot of podcasts and retire to bed 🛏 fairly early. I could hot tent but I don’t think it neccesary for this weekend.

Pancakes on a rainy morning

October 26, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Despite the dark morning, I’m up and going. 🌧️ I think it’s a pay week, so good motivation to get going. 💵 Plus next week we get to sleep 😴 in one more hour with the time change. 🕒 Five weeks to Cyber Monday 🛍️ and Beaver Moon 🌕. Rain showers and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌧️ There is a southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 8 pm. ☃️

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. 🐎🌲🌲🌲

September 26, 2020 Night

Good evening! Cloudy and 62 degrees at the Lake Pleasant. ☁️There is a south-southwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 11 am.

I can’t believe how dark end dreary it got after a nice day. 😕 Clouds just kind of pushed in and it got dark early. The nights are already pretty long but are even longer in this lousy weather. But at least tomorrow should be nicer. A few drops of rain 💧 this evening but nothing major so far.

Today was a nice day with lots of color exploring Watch Hill on Indian Lake and Sawyer Mountain ⛰ which I was less impressed with. I thought about also hiking back to Rock Lake but it was already getting late and sunset is so early this time of year. I think if I did it again I’d either have skipped Sawyer Mountain – which is best enjoyed in the morning hours due to the overlook location – or spent less time at the Indian Lake library uploading photos slowly 🖱️on the very sluggish Wi-Fi that is common in the Adirondacks.

Spent some time laying in the hammock for a while and had a small fire 🔥, listening to podcasts until around 10 pm. Nights are long this time of year so it’s difficult to stay up particularly late. A bunch of loud motorcycles 🏍 came through but after the thunderous rumble they were gone as fast as they came. While no Moose Festival this year in Indian Lake it was packed with motorcyclists when I drove through town.

Tonight will have isolated showers. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 57 degrees at 3am. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 2nd. Maximum dew point of 59 at 8pm. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2019, we had patches of fog in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 24 occurred back in 1947.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon with 78% illuminated. At 8 PM, the moon was in the south-southeast (159°) at an altitude of 23° from the horizon, some 240,582 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 March 28th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Hunter 🏹 Moon is on Thursday, October 1. The darkest hour is at 12:50 am, followed by dawn at 6:22 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:51 am in the east (91°) and last for 2 minutes and 56 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:28 am with sun in the east (98°). Tonight will have 12 hours and 4 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 58 seconds over last night.

I think it’s the camp grittle that is attracting mice to my truck cap. When it’s not in the camper there doesn’t seem to be a mouse problem. 🐭 Of course tonight I spilled some rubbing alcohol everywhere and my truck cap smells like a doctor office 🏢 so no mouse would dream of going near my truck cap. 😂 I usually bring it to help clean my hands 👐🏻 especially now with old Coronavirus being such a worry. 👾I doubt the smell 👃🏻 will last for long though. Alcohol is very volatile and evaporates quickly.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers before 9am. Partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 73 degrees at 2pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 15th. Maximum dew point of 61 at 4pm. South wind 8 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 2017.

Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow 🤔, been thinking about parking 🅿 at Sled Harbor 🛷 and hiking back to Pillsbury Lake. I don’t want to have to find a space to park in what is certain to be packed parking lot at the end of Old Military Turnpike. ⚔

In four weeks on October 24 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (254°) at 5:59 pm,🌄 which is 47 minutes and 28 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 68 and 35 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 57 and 37 degrees. The record high of 75 degrees was set back in 2017.

September 26, 2020 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Mostly sunny and 71 degrees at the Indian Lake. There is a south breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful fall day. 🍂 I just got done hiking Watch Hill, and headed up to Indian Lake to upload some photos and hike Sawyer Mountain after lunch.⛰ Then I will prboably head back to camp and read 📖 for a while, enjoying the nice breeze and colors from the hammock and then have a nice dinner before it gets too dark.

Hiking Watch Hill was fun but I wasn’t happy to discover I had no cell service up there. 📲 That wasn’t so cool as I’m supposed by supervising staff that is working, but fortunately I received no work related emails or texts 📨 during that time. I was planning to make sure I had good reception all weekend but that wasn’t to be. But I still had a very nice hike.

Been waking up early, 🌄 with the early sunsets and falling asleep after having a couple of beers.🍻 I normally don’t drink much but with the nights as long as they are and things are so crazy lately, what’s a few beers at camp.

This afternoon will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 75 degrees at 4pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 10th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 6pm. South wind around 10 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 69 degrees. The record high of 90 was set in 2017.

I thought about driving out to Cedar River Flow or Moose Plains, 🚶but I think I’ll just do Sawyer Mountain if it’s not too crowded. Otherwise I guess I will go up to Blue Mountain Lake and hike around Lake Durant and some of the North Country Placid Trail before heading back to camp down by Mason Lake. I am glad I did get a campsite on Thursday night, as by Friday I think they all were taken.
