The mornings and evenings are dark but it’s hot 🌇

Not so much heat and humidity at this hour but certainly later on. That said with the earlier sunsets and lower sun angle it cools off by evening but still rather sticky.

Good morning! What day is it? A dark start to the Hump Day, of course. Held off my morning walk for a while, because it was so dark. Fog 🌫 and 69 degrees in Delmar, NY for the morning walk in Delmar. Calm wind. The dew point is 67 degrees. The muggy weather ends next Tuesday around noontime. 😓 Summer arrived in September.

Out walking this morning, though I held off a bit before it got a brighter out. 🌇 In the mean time I was down in my kitchen kneading some quick-rise dough with baking powder to make a crust to use with the eggs, spinach, and tomatoes. 🍅 Mom brought over a big basket of tomatoes, which not wanting them to go bad, I took several of the paste tomatoes ran them through the food processor, added Italian spices and roasted red pepper a bit of salt, cooked them down in a frying pan 🥘 with onions, then fried up some eggs and put it on top with parmigiana cheese. Good breakfast. Wish I had made up more coffee rather then reheating what I have but time is getting late — and I’m drousey.

Going to ride Blackie to work again 🚵‍♀️ and then probably take the bus back home in the evening as it’s going to be another hot one. Burn some calories, save a buck thirty. It’s always nice going down to the gorge, and the Madison Avenue Hill isn’t that bad now I’ve done it a lot of times. 🚌 I figure in the evening, I’ll ride down to the old Union Station on Broadway, catch the express back home. It wouldn’t be pleasant paddling through the gorge, though neither will be the traffic riding on the bus this evening, but at least it will be air conditioned most likely and I’m not driving. 😅 🚗 🚙 🚕 🚌

Today will be sunny and hot ☀, with a high of 91 degrees at 3pm. 13 degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 71 at 11am. Heat index values as high as 97. Yuck.

Last night I got home after taking the bus 🚍 had a quick dinner, ran down to the library 📚 and got the books I had on reserve, came home sat in bed next to the fan 🛏 read for a while and was asleep by nine. Tired and it was hot. I think this was the first really hot and humid day of the summer. In September, after Labor Day I know. Eat probably too much frozen mango and peaches but it made things nice and cool.

This weekend, while not looking all that great, might still be good for heading out to Thacher Park on the Nature Bus 🚌 for a while and doing some biking 🚵‍♀️ and reading 📚 in the hammock, and enjoying things, assuming it’s not too wet. Certainly it’s easy and quick now with the more direct bus to Thacher Park and the bike. Plus it would be good to cut expenses at least this week, because it’s been an expensive few weeks with all the trips I’ve been doing plus the healthier food I’m putting into my body. 🍏 I wasn’t thrilled to hear that people expect gas prices to remain high all autumn — that said I”m still thinking about some kind of big autumn trip with lots of smaller ones, before snow flies. But if all else fails, there’s always Rensselearville State Forest for a weekend trip.

Looking ahead but maybe not forward to the darkness, are 3 weeks until More Night then Day 🌌 when the sun will be setting at 6:46 pm with dusk at 7:12 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 68 and 50 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 70 degrees. We hit a record high of 89 back in 2017.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. 🌄

The countdown to summer continues. Going to relatively mild today but certainly not summer like. I’m just waiting for black fly season to be done. And water temperatures to be a bit warmer.

Cloudy and 50 degrees in Delmar for the morning walk. ☁ There is a south-southwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃.

Not so cold this morning. 🍃 Going to be pretty nice by afternoon. Too bad I’ll be stuck in the office 🏢 most of the day. Walked 9.2 miles yesterday and 12.3 Sunday. Lots of steps but it’s been nice. Didn’t do the twenty mile hike on Sunday but it was a busy weekend.

This morning I am reheating the queche I made up on Sunday 🍳 and froze. Took out a slice from the freezer last night, plan to add some kale, mushrooms, and tomatoes as apparently I need more of them then it already has. 🍅 As they say, the more fiber the better. And some carrot 🥕 slices after breakfast. Black coffee ☕ from reheated coffee grounds plus a little fresh coffee, as I’m trying to cut expenses with coffee being so expensive these days. Eggs 🥚 are a good all morning breakfast, especially blended with lots of fiber.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 78 degrees at 2pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 9th. West wind 8 to 14 mph.

Finished up the updated maps for Save the Pine Bush 🦋 kiosk yesterday at the Lupine Festival this Saturday. I reached out to Lynne about getting the rest of the material for the display. I like tabling, leading hikes, doing maps and research but not so much public hearings especially with the jackals in the press 📰 just looking to twist your words for speaking what you think. At this point in my life, I hate politics, I’m more focused on what is right for me.

Not a pay week this week 💸 but I think it’s a pretty three paycheck month. I’m doing my best to keep expenses down but it’s tough in these inflationary times we all live in. I’m planning on saving a little money this money in my savings account for the first time in years, as interest is up and I know some point in the future 🔮 I’ll have to replace Big Red.

No tax refund for me. 💵 Oh well, not a big one, I was planning on applying any of what I thought to be a $150 refund to next year’s taxes. Didn’t owe anything either. Somehow I made a math error in calculating the amount I was liable for. 🧮 My calculated income was right but I must have read the tax table wrong. I’ll go over my form with the reconciliation statement but there is nothing further for me to do. It’s so stupid to have to file 📂 taxes when the government already has the data on their computers.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 66.4° from the due south horizon (-4.4° vs. 6/21).

At sunset, look out for a chance of rain 🌧 and temperatures around 69 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 42 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 4 seconds over yesterday.

School 🚸 budget vote today, I’ll probably go after the evening walk 🚶 as then I’ll avoid the crowds and morning traffic as the polls are open until 9 pm and I’m usually in bed 🛏 before then. School Board elections are more rigged then most but it’s the one chance you have to vote against government spending. I also should get milk 🥛 this evening which I keep avoiding because frankly I’ve gotten into drinking my coffee ☕ black.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 🤯

I’ve been doing this long enough that I know when give it a little gas and ease off the clutch I’ll be moving forward and before long be pulling that lever back into second and it will be Friday before you know it. That said I’m primarily thinking about Juneteenth weekend spent at the House Pond campsite swimming hole.

Sunny and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. I don’t know it feels cold but I’m always cold these days now that I’ve lost some body fat with the lower R value. But it’s also good because fat in the body organs like your heart ♥ muscle 💪 is so bad. It can’t be that cold intolerant though as Saturday night slept in hammock with just a little blanket.

Regardless of what I might think of the weekend that was, it was a productive one 🔧. The tire is back on the truck, my pantry stocked, walked twelve miles yesterday including five miles on Cole Hill State Forest and seven miles out to Bender Mellon Preserve. Got the work that needed to be done 💻 from home. Hammock camped.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 73 degrees at 4pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 20th. Light southwest wind becoming west 8 to 13 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, which became partly cloudy by afternoon. It was humid. The high last year was 82 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1900.

I made the best tasting whole wheat pasta salad 🥗 yesterday with the kale and mackerel. Much more filling then traditional pasta salad with the empty carbohydrates and fat of white pasta and mayonnaise. Mackerel is high in omega 3 fats that more than enough replaces the need for mayonnaise and helps with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins and minerals, including those in the fiber and vitamin rich kale. I know eating kale is a yuppie thing but it’s remarkably nutritious and tasty. Plus I can mock Keto math that subtracts fiber from carbs but it’s impossible to question the benefits of fiber.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 66.2° from the due south horizon (-4.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:30 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (290°). 📸

Not sure how late I’ll be stuck in the office 🏢 this week, but it should be a good week weather wise. ☀ Cool on Wednesday. Tomorrow I need to pick up my suit jackets at the dry cleaning before work, dry cleaning has gotten expensive these days. 🕴️ Leave my truck at the Delaware park and ride. Maybe after work stop at Hannaford and pick up a few missing groceries – so far no fat vanilla yogurt is the only thing on that list 📃 and that is more of a luxury then a necessity. I like a few times a week to drizzle yogurt on frozen fruit as a sugary treat after the evening walk, especially on hot days. 🚶 But I know the added sugar of the vanilla yogurt is rather bad even if I use it sparingly and a container typically last me a month before it’s used up and put in the garbage to be burnt. Lol.

The sunset is in the west-northwest (297°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:11 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 8:42 pm, which is one minute and 3 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:24 pm.

Today will have 14 hours and 40 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 5 seconds over yesterday.

I am hoping to get home early enough, that I have time to walk down at the park. 🏃 It gets difficult this time of year, but maybe I’ll get some steps in at lunch time. I would like to have in at least 9 miles by the end of the day. Need to get to the bank 🏦 so I can have cash to pick up my suit jackets tomorrow. 🕴️

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌃 , with a low of 50 degrees at 6am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 20th. West wind 7 to 10 mph becoming southwest after midnight. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies. It was humid. It got down to 57 degrees. The record low of 33 occurred back in 1980.

May 9, 2023 Morning

Second gear of the week. ⚙

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Partly sunny 🌞 and 44 degrees in Delmar for the morning walk. Calm wind.

Up and going this morning. 👣 Only walked 5 ¾ miles yesterday but with session, the late running express bus, missing the morning express, laundromat and grocery shopping time was tight especially I still like to be in bed 🛏 by around nine 9⃣ to be up at six.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 66 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 1st. North wind 3 to 8 mph.

The record high of 93 was set in 1979. 1.6 inches of snow fell back in 1977.❄

Should be a nice sunny day. ☺ A bit cooler than yesterday though. I’m out walking 🚶 a few minutes later then usual but it’s fine as I have to drop that wheel off at the shop to get the nail out and plugged at 8:30. Hell of it is the tire isn’t leaking and is maintaining pressure at 33 psi but I don’t think it’s good to be driving around with a nail in it. Pay day today. That’ll help.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 64.7° from the due south horizon (-6.1° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.8 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:24 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (288°). 📸

Another session day so I’ll be in the office 🏢 all day though I might sneak out for a midday walk 🚶. Then depending how late I get out from work I’ll probably go to the park or maybe Five Rivers. 🐦 Still waiting on bicycle 🚲 parts.

The sunset is in the west-northwest (295°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:04 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 11 seconds with dusk around 8:35 pm, which is one minute and 6 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:15 pm.

The record low of 28 occurred back in 1958.

Mother’s Day Weekend still looks great. 🌷 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Maximum dew point of 54 at 8am. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 68. Maximum dew point of 43 at 8pm. I bet the tulip festival will be packed. Typical average high for the weekend is 71 degrees.

If I wasn’t going to be so busy this weekend 🤔 it would be a great one to get out of town. I’m going to have Committee Agendas for work, hoping to . But I have a long list of things to do. 🦋 The following weekend is the Lupine Festival and then Memorial Day Weekend. Not sure sb

May 2, 2023 Morning

If you could read my mind 💭

I guess the way to live a long life to sing songs about the decline of society, at least if you are Gordon Lightfoot. In many ways the 2020s are the new 1970s. Probably the most important lesson of the seventies is while society is going to all shit, take care of yourself as nobody else will.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Cloudy and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫️ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Friday around 2 pm.

Out for my morning walk. 🚶 At had to wait for the bus 🚍 after the evening session, so I didn’t get home until 9:30 and went to bed 🛏 shortly thereafter, but later then usual. But I’m up at 6 am walking. There is a a broken water 💦 main on Delaware Ave this morning that looks like a geyser ⛲, I thought about calling it in but a DOT guy just stopped by and I’m sure he knows who to call.

I’m thinking eggs this morning 🍳 as I need power to make it through the day. Plus with the late night I skipped dinner last night in favor of fruit so this is a good chance to boost my intake of vegetables. 🥦 Eggs, especially fortified with vegetables is a good slow to digest protein.

Today will have a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Some of the storms could produce small hail. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 52 degrees at 2pm. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 1st. Brr. South wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became cloudy by afternoon. The high last year was 58 degrees. The record high of 90 was set in 2018. There was a dusting of snow in 1986.❄

My goal 🥅 is just to get through this epic budget week. My division doesn’t have much to do with the budget and it’s kind of slow, a 🐢 lot of waiting for the next project to come in. 📄 It’s just kind of tiring though waiting not knowing what is next or how late I’ll be in the office. 🍏 Eating healthy helps. Plus doing laps around the office 🏢 and Capitol with my phone on forward. ☎️ Ended up walking 7.3 miles yesterday, squeezing in steps wherever possible. It was so cold ❄ in my office last night.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 62.7° from the due south horizon (-8.1° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:17 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (286°). 📸

At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 50 degrees. There will be a south-southwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 10 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 30 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 41. 🌃 South wind around 5 mph becoming calm after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

A picture perfect spring weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 69. Maximum dew point of 43 at 8pm. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 73. Maximum dew point of 48 at 8pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 68 degrees.

Really my focus is on the nicer weather for the weekend. ⛺ I really want to get out of town 🌲 though I’m still chewing over the Adirondacks vs Schoharie vs Rennselearville. I think we are definitely in black fly season now. 🐜 But I do like starting my spring camping season on the East Branch Sacandaga River, it’s a tradition now.

Looking ahead, there are 7 weeks until Primary Day 🗳️ when the sun will be setting at 8:38 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm. On that day in 2022, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 82 and 47 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 81 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1953.

April 20, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. ☺

Maybe there is hope for warmer weather and the weekend but so far this morning is plain cold.

Partly clear and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌤️There is a west-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

Out walking 🚶 this morning and it is cold. 8.9 miles yesterday, did laps at the park 🏞 until dark and then ran to Walmart for groceries 🛒 and put gas in Red. ⛽ Summer is coming, gas prices are on the rise. I was low on fruits and fiber, I found myself eating unhealthier carbs so I decided it was time to run to the grocery store. It will be nice when I have a bicycle 🚲 again for chores like this.

Planning on having Quinoa and blueberries this morning. 🫐 I got a bag of frozen blueberries at the store last night and it’s time to swap in a new grain instead of oatmeal this morning for breakfast. Health involves variety to ensure a mixture of vitamins.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 62 degrees at 4pm. Typical for today. Northwest wind around 6 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 52 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1941. 5.8 inches of snow fell back in 1947.❄

Ethics training for me at 10 am ⚖️ which I’m sure is as obnoxious as it has been the dozens of times I’ve taken it. Zoom class so I can do it from my office, which is nice. I’m not sure how it will work with session during those hours, I guess use multiple windows. The IRC maps 🗺 of the new proposed Assembly will be released at 12 pm and I’m quite interested to see what they will be like and how they preform.

This is not a week for heading out of town 🏡 but I’ll have to find something interesting and fun to do on Saturday like take a walk somewhere interesting. 🚶 I want to get out of town soon, maybe next week. I guess a lot depends on when the whole budget agreement goes down, as I want to use comp time to take a long weekend but I haven’t worked late.

Looking ahead, next Thursday is Arbor Day 🌳 when the sun will be setting at 7:52 pm with dusk at 8:20 pm. On that day in 2022, we had mostly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 51 and 39 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 65 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 1962.

April 13, 2023 Morning

On our way to 86 degrees. ☀

Refreshingly cool this morning but I’m sure it will warm up quickly as the day progresses. Probably want to draw my shades in my office as it will get warm inside.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Clear and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 Some haze to the east adding some oranges and yellows to the sunrise. Calm wind. The dew point is 45 degrees. Not very humid but not bone dry. I heard there was wildfires out in Schoharie out by the 88.

Going to be a hot one it seems 😰 but not a lot of humidity. The breeze might actually make it feel nice in the evening. Should be a really nice day.

Yesterday I made up the shrimp 🦐 and rice 🍚 I was thinking about on Tuesday. Really hit the spot. I cooked the rice, onions and lentils before work and thawed a few precooked shrimp during the day in the fridge. Great summer meal, no need for any salt or seasoning in the rice as the shrimp and onions provided all that was needed.

I was looking at some old pictures from high school and was noticing how much thinner I am ☺ then twenty years ago. Some of it is my more recent healthy eating and walk 🚶 program though I think the first drop was in college walking and biking the rural roads around my house then moving to the suburbs and walking most places in my neighborhood. But there is more to do but I’m learning a lot and the things I buy and put in my body are different at age 40 are different than younger years.
