Monday, Monday

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. So it has. Mostly cloudy with haze and 65 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 65 degrees. The air quality index is a healthy 33. The muggy weather ends Thursday around 2 am. 😓

I’m out walking 🚶 though not as early as I would like as I have a bad case of the Monday’s plus there isn’t the smoldering cars around the High School 🚸 and I don’t have to iron my clothes before work. Decided to give my eyes 👀 a break for now and wear glasses 👓 for my morning walk 🚶 Plus I find the humidity to be kind of a demotivator to getting moving plus the eye issues I had over the weekend.

I started out this morning with a hard-boiled egg 🥚 to get some protein before the morning walk. 🏃 I am been having too much sugar lately, and I besides boosting the fiber in my diet I am coming around the way of the keto folks on having more protein and fiber from eggs and other lower-calorie sources like certain beans and meats. Then for breakfast, I am going to pulverize some white beans and mix them in the cream of wheat with strawberries and blueberries. 🍵 While I don’t like overusing my food chopper, as I think food should be chewed not drunk, it does work good for hiding things like beans in your breakfast.

We are stuck in that rather hot, humid unstable weather pattern ⛈️ that is common this time of year. Could get soaked any minute type deal. Sucks for people that have this week off from work – used to be my usual choice though not in recent years as I like to break my summer up more. 😅 Won’t make the evening walk fun but if it’s not raining, I might go down to the park and read for a while then do some steps as darkness approaches and it’s not as hot. 📚 As At least the air quality is relatively good today, though we need to watch how much the Canadian wildfire smoke pushes in later in the day.

I’d like to get out of town this weekend 🚲 but finding a bicycle is a higher priority and it depends on the weather. I might look at bicycles at a few places on Saturday then camp ⛺ maybe in Schoharie and do the Mine Kill Pool 🏊‍♂️ maybe hammock camping. Depends on whether or not I get Monday off as a holiday. Actually I’m thinking the following weekend might be quieter and better for some lazy floating in the Adirondacks along Piseco-Powley Road. A lot depends on the weather. I might due Betty Brook but I worry I can get that campsite, though the little one is rarely taken as most people either go for the big lower site or the field site. Not sure. If it looks wet and I have a bike to ride, I might stay close to home and see what I can explore on the bicycle.

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.

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. 🥘

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.

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.

Super Hazy this Evening on Bennett Hill 🌁

Wildfire smoke again I believe as the AQI meters are all showing a spike in pollution from PM 2.5 and the haze has a brownish hint. Some might be humidity as rain approaches tonight but it also clearly looks like smoke. I’ve noticed smoke hangs over the hills and terrain much different than ordinary moisture haze which is much more consistent.

I am quite interesting in mining both EPA and Purple Air data to see if I can make more detailed real time air quality maps for my blog and social media. It would be neat to use Kriging to make really pretty maps of current air quality, especially if air pollution becomes a real issue Upstate this summer with wildfires going forward. Maybe the heavy rain this wedk will put a damper in the fires but I’m not convinced.

I think the throw away maps feature is now working correctly on the blog – a mistake in the SQL code was accidentally trashing the wrong maps and photos but after a few days experimenting I think it may be fixed. Next is implementing R code for automatically uploading such temporary maps directly to the blog just by executing code. I could develop a full API with authentication to do this but it really is much easier to just use my blogs native uploader controlled through a simple headless browser session using rselenium.

March 13, 2023 6 AM Update

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Rain showers, pitch black and 34 degrees for the morning walk. 🌨️ There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃.

With the time change and the clouds this is a dark morning for the walk 🌃 but I was out a few minutes before the half hour of six. Listening to the Stones Paint It Black and noticing more sunlight as seven o’clock approaches. Oatmeal, cherries strawberries and bananas 🥣 for breakfast. I still pancakes in my refrigerator from the other day but after a heavy Sunday dinner I wanted something lighter with more fiber.

Tomorrow will have 11 hours and 54 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over today. I’m still hoping to get my evening 🚶 and my steps in for the day 👣 but I’m the first to admit that tomorrow may be challenging depending on how much snow snow we get from the DIRE EMERGENCY SNOW storm that will probably be mostly rain ☔ but what do I care I live in the city. Either the buses will be running or I’ll be working from home.

Tonight we will have rain before 9pm, then rain and snow between 9pm and 1am, then snow after 1am. 🌨 The snow could be heavy at times, it’s still winter. But not really cold with around 33 which is about ten degrees above normal. East wind around 7 mph becoming north after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Today in 1991, the Justice Department announces that Exxon has agreed to pay $1 billion for the clean-up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. 🛢 Oil spills can leave kind of a mess.

It should be a nice Monday, ☺ even if I do have to work 🏢 in my office downtown. I should be able to get in quite a few steps in 👣 and do my best to enjoy the day. Not a session day until Wednesday 🧑🏻‍💼 but also not a pay week. But since I’ve been eating healthier and less my food bills have been less. 🍏 I put in $40 in fuel ⛽ in my truck and did a four minute wash 🚿 yesterday but it will be parked 🅿 until Sunday so I’m not going to be burning fuel.

I am bringing in a big load of fresh fruit for my office 🍏 as I was running low by the second half of the week last week. Usually keep the frozen fruit for home and the fresh stuff for work where I don’t have a freezer. Always like to he nibbling on it through out the day to keep my blood sugar 🍚 level so I’m not so hungry and wanting a big meal when I get home. I definitely feel healthier and more level headed, not sure if I slimmed down much but like anything it’s a journey and it takes time.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 24 degrees at 5am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 8th. Northwest wind 9 to 11 mph.

Today in 1857, Supreme Court of the United States rules in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. ⚖️ After the Civil War it was overruled much like Row v Wade was. 🤱 I don’t like the abortion promotion industry or sex outside of marriage and procreation or the disposablity of life. But whatever. I’m more okay with gas stations selling abortion pills or grocery stores but not in glossy cases with television commercials between Saturday children shows.

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.

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.

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.

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.

March 11, 2020 Morning

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. 🐫 I should share one of those Homesteady videos of them milking the camel. Dairy farming with a camel isn’t much bigger than a cow 🐮 but they are taller and their teats are a bit different. Three weeks to April Fools Day 🤡. Trout season 🎣 is coming. My license is good but I should check my gear. ☑

Partly sunny with some haze and 35 degrees at the CDTA Bus Stop #10595. ☀ There is a northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Nicer morning than I expected. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 4 am. ☃️

Little tired and my eye 👀 was a bit irritated at first this morning due to scratching it last night removing my contact. Mornings still are quite dark but were picking up already quite a bit of time in the morning. It’s worth it for the extra daylight in the evening 🌇 but I haven’t had much time to enjoy it because I’ve been busy.

Today in 1993, Janet Reno is confirmed by the United States Senate and sworn in the next day, becoming the first female Attorney General of the United States. 🚺 She was a controversial figure to say the least but she did break down gender barrier which was good. I don’t remember much about her but I do remember she was very liberal, very law and order, a gun grabber. 🔫 Or maybe that’s because I read 📖 too much of the NRA magazines.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 47. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 44. Typical average high for the weekend is 43 degrees. Sounds perfect although with Pine Bush stuff I may end up staying in town. 🌲🌲🌲 But that is fine. It’s only going to get better as spring approaches.
