Second day of summer 🏖

Honest I’m up and going this morning, though I’m still in still in quite a haze this morning despite making sure to be in bed by nine o’clock last night.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Partly sunny 🌞 and 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 52 degrees.

Out for the morning walk 🚶 and I’m not feeling it today. 7 ¾ miles yesterday. I got to bed 🛏 on tike last night but I think I’m still half asleep despite sleeping in to six. The sun ☀ in sky helps a lot.

Hoping to walk down to the Park and Ride this morning, 🚍 as I’m running close to on time this morning and I have an extra lunch in the office 🏢 as I got home early enough last night to eat at home. Not a session day, they’re gone, so no shirts to iron.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 75 degrees at 2pm. Six degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 31st. Maximum dew point of 56 at 6pm. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 7 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 67 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1954.

I think I’m good on groceries 🍏 through Friday night though I think tomorrow in the evening I’ll go shopping 🛒 after the store is restocked. I think I want to get more shorts and especially boxers and under shirts as my current ones are much too large and my boxers at times are slipping off. With warmer weather coming I should continue to think about quick cold meals that don’t require much cooking. Beans and rice are a once a week thing so they don’t require too much heat and can be eaten cold. 🥘

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:58 pm with sun having an altitude of 70.8° from the due south horizon (-0° vs. 6/21). The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:55 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (297°). 📸 The sunset is in the borthwest (304°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:38 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 28 seconds with dusk around 9:11 pm, which is 12 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the First Quarter 🌓 Moon in the west (266°) at an altitude of 30° from the horizon, 252,135 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:58 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 68 degrees. The dew point will be 57 degrees. There will be a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 22 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 seconds over yesterday.

Looking at my pay stub 🎫 person it looks like I didn’t get my federal deduction quite right so I’m going to have to talk to the pay roll office about fixing that today. State taxes are good. So I guess that’s a step forward. 👣 I’ll have to talk to the Payroll office to get that straightened out.

Tonight will be scattered showers, mainly between 11pm and 3am. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 60 degrees at 6am. Typical for tonight. Maximum dew point of 60 at 6am. Southeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1940.

Humid with thunderstorms this weekend. 🌩 Saturday, a chance of showers before 11am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 11am and 2pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. High near 82. South wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Maximum dew point of 71 at 1pm. Sunday, showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Maximum dew point of 70 at 10am. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees.

This weekend, I still want to look at bicycles. 🚲 I would really like to be able to start commuting to work as soon as next week on a bicycle. I am going to part out my existing bicycle, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it would be better to start out fresh with a good used or new bicycle, something more designed for road riding then a hybrid bicycle. Then keep it in good maintance, especially keeping that back tire well inflated. Bicycle tires should be checked weekly for pressure based on the bicycle repair manual I’ve been reading. Every day I delay, it’s costing me a bus fare 🚒 to say nothing of the health benefits of riding back and forth to work. Or how handy it would be able to set up camp and then ride to trail heads, especially in more spread out areas like Piseco-Powley Road or even Moose River Plains. 🚵‍♀️

I am also thinking about going to visit John Wolcott on Saturday and then do an afternoon hike in the Pine Bush. 🌲🌲🦋 I doubt I’ll see as many Karner Blues at this point, as we are a few weeks past the lupine bloom but it’s always a nice hike in the Albany Pine Bush, especially as dusk approaches. Plus I am sure I will end up forgetting to get groceries at the store on Friday and will end up stopping at Market32 in Guilderland, although based on the affordable surprisingly affordable prices at Hannaford in Voorheesville 🏬 maybe that’s where I should be going.

I am hoping the following weekend — Independence Day Weekend 🎆 to get out of town. A lot depends if they give us that Monday July 3rd off as a state holiday. It could happen. The issue is camping four nights straight — I’ll need a permit or have to move mid-weekend. I worry about things filling up, especially if it’s nice. I could do the Green Mountain National Forest, though I guess your not supposed to be lighting off fireworks in the National Forest, though I doubt locally they do much enforcement on the 4th of July unless it’s very dry. Plus, I want to get fireworks on my way out there. Piseco-Powley would be fun again that weekend, but I don’t know if I will be able to get a campsite, though maybe I could leave early on Friday.

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Ugly Truck Day 🚚 when the sun will be setting at 8:29 pm with dusk at 9:01 pm. On that day in 2022, we had hot and humid weather, mostly sunny skies and the inevitable thunderstorm and temperatures between 97 and 72 degrees. I think I was out camping in Finger Lakes National Forest that week. Or 4 weeks, was that week before and I was in the office? I don’t remember. I should think about summer vacation and what week I want to take off. Typically, the high temperature is 84 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1991.

No Lillies Yet On Lilly Lake

I got to get back to Lilly Lake come later in the summer when more lilies and flowers are in bloom. It's always a beautiful paddle and a nice afternoon heading up there from Stewart Landing.

February 12, 2023 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Partly sunny and 40 degrees at the Bennett Hill Preserve. There is a east-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 10 pm. ☃️

It’s the Sunday morning hike on Bennett Hill 🗻 same one I do every week before going out see the folks. Nice day though it started out cold. But it is now starting to feel like a mid March day. Sun angle has been getting a lot stronger the past few days so when it’s sunny out and not too windy it warms up fast.

This afternoon will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 3pm. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 15th. East wind 3 to 5 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 16 degrees. The record high of 55 was set in 1932. 13.5 inches of snow fell back in 1988.❄

Split pea soup 🥙 for lunch at my folks house and then I’ll probably sit out back with the dog 🐶. If I leave early enough I might do a jot up Blodgett Hill. Then I need to get some groceries 🍌, mostly the perishable healthy kind. If not for needing oranges and bananas for work I probably could skip that trip. But I’m eating healthier in my 40s.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:11 pm with sun having an altitude of 33.7° from the due south horizon (-37.2° vs. 6/21).

January 21, 2023 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Mostly cloudy and 34 degrees in Bethlehem, NY. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. There is a inch of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. ☃️

Kind of a cold and gray Saturday. ☁️ There is just enough of a breeze this afternoon to make it rather unpleasant out. I started the day out the library, doing some research and playing with R Studio 🤖 specifically as it relates to urban planning data from the Census Bureau. I am continuing to learn more about the Census and it’s data both for a practical perspective and so I can develop skills for my future. It’s good to know what data is out there, so I can whip up some quick code and get some data out to clients who need it. Plus it’s a great way to fill space on the blog.

This afternoon will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a high of 35 degrees at 1pm. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 9th. Northwest wind around 7 mph. A year ago, we had light snow in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 31 degrees. The record high of 61 was set in 2006. 7.2 inches of snow fell back in 1990.❄

The plan for this afternoon is to bundle up and get some exercise by walking out to Five Rivers. 🐸 It’s a cold and gray, nasty day but I always like walking out along Meads Road, seeing the cows 🐄 and then observing nature at Five Rivers, followed by hiking back along Fisher Boulevard. This way I don’t have to worry about walking along the road as dusk approaches. 🌆 Plus it’s a great chance to get caught up on podcasts.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:07 pm with sun having an altitude of 27.4° from the due south horizon (-43.4° vs. 6/21).

At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 6 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 38 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 55 seconds over yesterday.

Also been continuing to run the numbers 🔢 and think about my Mission Fifty Plan. I think my financial plan as it stands is fairly secure, though having to replace my truck in a year or two will have a temporary dip, though I don’t plan to have something has a fancy or nice for my next truck. Thinking small, though I do want a truck cap for camping. I kind of like the Toyota Tacomas, as they are easier to drive and park, though I might consider another regular cap-short bed Silverado if it means I can reuse my cap. The other thing I’ve been thinking about is how to get more involved and knowledgeable about homesteading and off-grid living — I should look for events and classes to participate in. I am also thinking about taking a class in welding. 👩‍🏭 A lot though should involve stay the course.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 23 degrees at 2am. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 5th.

Looking, there are 3 weeks until Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛 when the sun will be setting at 5:23 pm with dusk at 5:50 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 26 and 12 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1981. Do mop up milk though, as it kind of stinks when spoiled, but maybe compost those milk-soaked paper towels, as it’s good fertilizer.

May 22, 2021 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Partly sunny and 80 degrees in Saratoga, NY. ☔ There is a west breeze at 8 mph. 🌤️The dew point is 59 degrees. The skies will clear around 7 pm.

This afternoon I am going to my niece’s birthday 🎂 party in Saratoga. Then I will go home and I have some work to do. 📝 At least I can work from home. 🏡 Then I’ll probably go down to the river 🎣 to do some fishing. 🐠 Kind of a hot day. It’s fun to be going to a party with everybody vaccinated so no social distancing. 👨‍👩‍👦 Even though we wear masks in the elevator at work, along with on the bus, we all know that is for show.

This afternoon will have a slight chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. Mostly cloudy ⛅ , with a high of 86 degrees at 3pm. 13 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 59 at 12pm. West wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 83 degrees.

Today will have 14 hours and 54 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 47 seconds over yesterday.

I ordered more jeans 👖 and new boots 👢 as while my existing boots are okay they are getting worn down and probably only have a few weeks before they really fall apart. I also need jeans without holes and big stains before I go back to the office 🏢 on casual dress days. Need to put my winter clothes back in the closet 🧣 and get out more summer clothes. I should work on repairing my camp lantern 🏮 tonight if I have time.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 9pm. Partly cloudy 🌃, with a low of 65 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 61 at 2am. West wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2020, we had mostly clear skies. It became humid as the night progressed. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 36 occurred back in 1967.

I might need the fan running indoors tonight ☢ although I’m not totally sure. Rather save electricity and just sit out back until things cool down a bit. I like being outdoors ✨ which is maybe why I’ve long refused to have air conditioning. Even though it’s hot now by evening it should be pretty nice out back with a cold glass of water. 🥛

I was pretty set on Friday being my last counseling session 💭 but I got talked into doing another in three weeks. I have some better ideas for dealing with my anxiety and keeping things in context and in the grand scheme of things most of my issues pretty minor, I’m quite successful in my career and position pays well but there are still some topics I find difficult to discuss – namely my love of all things fire 🔥 – and I need to resolve to advance further in my career. 💼

My off grid property and moving out west are dreams that continue to come closer but I have some unrealistic fears 🏡 and worries I need to address further in my life but there is more to do. I feel like I’m having a hard time communicating with my therapist and I’m spending more and more money 💵 but I’ve allocated $200 in copay for the process and while I told myself I’d reevaluate at $100 I’m going to give it one more try in three weeks. I just feel like I could do a lot better for myself if I addressed that one issue in my life, so I can take the next step and make more money. I just don’t understand my fear of that one stupid topic.

I cut my cellphone 📱 plan down to the 10 gigabyte Hotspot plan as I find myself using the Hotspot data less now that it’s warmed up and I only used like 6 gigabyte the past month and it was more personal use as most of my work internet is Lexis or bill research and email which doesn’t use much data. 📶 Plus the library is now open for in person use with a mask 😷 and my ability to work in the office whenever I feel like the need to have a lot of bandwidth at home isn’t necessary but limited access for work emails is important while I’m still working from home or the woods a few days a week. Many days now I’m leaving the laptop at work so I’m not constantly hauling back and forth on the bus 🚍.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ when the sun will be setting with dusk at 9:05 pm. On that day in 2020, we had hot and humid, partly sunny skies with thunderstorm ⛈ and temperatures between 85 and 71 degrees. I am thinking Memorial Day Weekend doesn’t look great so that’s my next best chance to get away. Really would like to do Piseco-Powley Road but maybe it makes sense first to do a long weekend, say it, back in Spectulator and remote work 💻 on the Friday and Monday. Typically, the high temperature is 77 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1925.

Yesterday I went downtown for meetings and to do a bunch of training classes. 🏫 Kind of a boring day 💤 but it was nice getting out and seeing the old office 🏢. Definitely a nice sunset. I went for my evening walk. 🚶🏻I also went over to John Wolcott house for a while 🔍 looking through old documents. 📝

This morning I didn’t wake up until late 🛏 but that was fine because it was a work holiday for Veterans Day. I spent a while looking through old papers at my own home looking for the checkbook 💵 and an envelope ✉ so I can get my direct deposit reestablished at work. Tomorrow morning I’ll walk to the post office 📬 and get a stamp on it so I can get that reestablished. Also did some cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom 🚽.

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.

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.
