The big forty is what’s on my mind tonight. ๐ŸŽ‚ I mean I know it’s just a number and most people eventually hit it but it’s not something you ever give much thought about when you are young. The day will come and go like all do, and what matters is what you make of it as one step towards the future ๐Ÿ”ฎ but it’s such a big number.

Franklin Roosevelt's Car

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Snow fog, cloudy and one degree above freezing for the morning walk. ๐ŸŒซ There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There are 5 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ We ended up getting less rain than expected and no snow over night. So things melted but there is still snow around. Things will freeze again tonight. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Kind of damp and chilly for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถbut the lack of ice is nice. Reminds me of the snowy icy day camping at East Otto State Forest in November or that day camping in December in the Vanderwhacker wilderness. Lots of slop for snow. Dawn is now 6:45 which means that except for the cloudest days the start of the walk isn’t pitch black.

Today was a breakfast reheat morning ๐Ÿฅž which meant it was a quick and easy start to the morning and I set my alarm โฐ 10 minutes earlier to ensure that I maintain my schedule. I like my calorie reduction program it saves so much food and money ๐Ÿ’ต. With inflation every dollar is precious, especially if I can invest it while the market is down.

Today will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a high of 40 degrees at 11am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 28th.

Taking the express bus ๐Ÿš in as today isn’t a session day. Looks like they’re running the big articulated bus this morning ๐Ÿšwhich means that the driver will likely leave right on time or even a bit early as those pusher buses are slower to drive through traffic. So I have to put my phone down, shower ๐Ÿšฟ quickly leave right on time for the express.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 28.6ยฐ from the due south horizon (-42.2ยฐ vs. 6/21).

I got milk ๐Ÿฅ› at Stewart’s yesterday and was disappointed that the expiration date is a week from Friday. Compared to the grocery store that’s good but it’s not as fresh as it used to be. Plus with my calorie reduction program I’m not drinking as much milk as it once did.
