29 days left in the year ⌛

Depending on how you count it, basically four weekends left if even that before we start the 2024 year. Going to be a busy year, but I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life working out in the suburbs, really putting my data science knowledge and experience to work in my new job. But first a rainy but mild weekend to get through and the holidays.

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Not such a drag as I had Monday off and the rest of week was pretty busy, although Friday morning dragged a bit waiting for the next project to come in. Mostly cloudy and 37 degrees at the Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind.Temperatures will drop below freezing at Tuesday around 4 am. ☃️

Started out my morning a little after 5 o’clock as I always do. ⏰ I’m not one to set an alarm but I wake up at that hour as I’m usually asleep before 9 PM and around then I have to get up and do the bathroom thing, 💩 so it’s best to get up and going and get a bright and early start on the morning. Decided to bake a breakfast cake this morning 🍰 — this time I started with food-processor milled oatmeal, whole wheat flour, stevia, two bananas, baking powder, canned pumpkin an egg, and some water and baking it. Topped it with lots of pumpkin pie spice. 🎃 It was pretty darn good, the egg and gluten from the whole-wheat flour made it very cake like and not so dry as often comes out when cooking with milled oatmeal. Plus some stomach-filling protein from the egg, and two types of fiber — insoluble fiber from the whole-wheat flour and pumpkin plus soluble fiber from oatmeal. ☕ I had to go to Stewart’s to get milk for the coffee but now this morning is a go.

Today will have a slight chance of showers between 10am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 47 degrees at 1pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 22nd. South wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 41 degrees. The record high of 66 was set in 1998. 6.8 inches of snow fell back in 2019.❄

I am going to take a wait and see approach to today 🌧 but if it looks like it’s going to remain just cloudy I might head up to the Albany Pine Bush for a bike / hike on some of the trails, 🚲 🚶‍♀️ and then head up to the Salvation Army to look at clothes, especially dressier things for work. 👔 I am though most likely going to have to just buy some dress shirts and pants for work 👨‍💼 as nothing I have really fits well anymore after loosing so much weight. Then I need to get spices and probably some other groceries at Walmart, though truth be told my pantry isn’t bad currently but I need more frozen fruit and vegetables, 🍓 🥦 along with the spices. Turmeric and ginger in particular but also some cinnamon and Chipotle would be good as I’m low on all those things. I don’t really have to go shopping, but at some point I do want to replenish my pantry and I hate to stay home all day. 🛒

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:46 am with sun having an altitude of 25.5° from the due south horizon (-45.4° vs. 6/21).

The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:39 pm with the sun in the southwest (233°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (241°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:24 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 21 seconds with dusk around 4:54 pm, which is 18 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:31 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 46 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 18 minutes of daytime, a decrease of one minute and 18 seconds over today.

I haven’t decided to make bread or pea soup today. 🍞 That was originally the plan but I kind of forgot or was tired and cold after last night so after my salmon 🐟 for dinner, I had some Greek yogurt and pumpkin, 🎃 then settled down to bed 🛌 doing some more of the Udemy course 🎓 on machine learning and went to sleep. I might wait until Sunday evening to kneed and make more bread, and enjoy it fresh come Monday. Maybe the same thing with the pea soup. I do have kidney beans cooking down on the stove, so I could do beans and rice later, and I took both some previously cooked and frozen chickpeas and butternut squash out of the freezer. Also still have spaghetti squash in the fridge from earlier in the week I should eat before it goes bad. Maybe it’s best to save the bread until Monday. Pea soup is good but it can make me gassy, 😤 which is why I was thinking maybe better to have it during the weekend. Helps though if I make sure to drink plenty of water with it and avoid the shredded carrots 🥕 in the bread I’m serving with it.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly after 5am. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 39 degrees at 5am. 13 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 23rd. Light north wind.

It got down to 38 degrees. The record low of -1 occurred back in 1976.

The blog advertising pulled in $165 since September 23, 🤑 which isn’t too bad and will help me recoup at least some of the costs of the web hosting come a few weeks when finally the money is deposited in my bank. It looks like I will be earning roughly $75 a month going forward, getting paid every other month. By April, I should have recouped the hosting and domain costs from advertising, though some depends on ad rates which decline after the Christmas season and web traffic, 🕸 which always picks up during the summer months when people are looking for trails and places for camping. 🏕 I probably wouldn’t have done the advertising thing but I didn’t like the sting of the rising hosting bills a few months back, of which my bank account still hasn’t fully recovered.

I put in a FOIL request for the Recreation Unit Management Plan Shapefile with the DEC. 🏕 This would be nice for making maps, somebody asked for it a while back and I never was able to get them the file. Basically this shapefile includes the area covered unit plans, and I can’t find it online on an ArcGIS REST/Service or the DEC website. I don’t like doing too many FOIL requests 🏣 these days, as I don’t like my name all over government documents, but this would be useful to have, and could create many good maps and analysis for the blog 🗺 which could further drive traffic here. Come February 2024, I am also going to get the update voter file for the full state rather than just the county that I have now, 🗳 so I can use it for analysis, especially machine learning purposes to see if I can figure out new ways of targeting 🎯 voters.

As previously noted, next Saturday is Average High is 40 🌨 when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm. On that day in 2022, we had sunny and temperatures between 39 and 25 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 40 degrees. We hit a record high of 62 back in 1966.

Off to work this morning early on this final day of November

Up early, started my day with cranberry and banana oatmeal pancakes topped with a blend of frozen antioxidant fruits. Lots of coffee.

It’s off to work to get that project done. 🚲 Pleasant morning for the bike ride but a bit gray. Figure I best enjoy it now before work moves to the suburbs, where I won’t be able to ride into, at least until there is light in the evening, as I can’t take the bike on the free shuttle bus. 🤷‍♂️

Watched more Udemy videos last night 📺 learning more about machine learning 🤖 and coding, went for an evening walk. 🏃‍♀️ That bean soup and bread was good, as was the spaghetti squash. 🍲 I have more to enjoy tonight, or I can finish off the rice tonight, as we’re going out to lunch today at work.

The sloppy Wednesday before Thanksgiving 🌨️🌧️ 🦃

I guess it started out as snow but it’s all rain, rapidly killing off the remaining snow. Basically it’s just really cold and damp out. Taking the early bus in this morning to walk laps around the Plaza Concourse before work. Not riding in this morning, lol.

Good morning! What day is it? A sloppy day before Thanksgiving, of course. 🦃 I’m mostly just thinking about the Adirondacks on Friday. Rain and 39 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☔ There is a northeast breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. There is a half inch of slop on the ground. ☃ ️Too wet to call snow and it is rapidly disappearing with the rain. The dire emergency snow storm has been canceled. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 5 pm. ☃️

The earliest Voorheesville bus 🚍 is absolutely packed with state workers 🧑🏽‍⚖️ which I’m surprised with the holiday being tomorrow and the year rapidly coming to a close in 39 days. 🗓 Next month usually traffic drops a lot both on the buses and city streets as so many people take time off before the close of the year.

Not riding Blackie 🚵 into work today, so I’m walking on the Concourse indoors. 🪙 The bus company got my buck thirty, and I’m indoors walkin today. 👣 Gotta get my steps in. 👣 After all tomorrow is Thanksgiving 🦃 and then Friday it’s off to the Adirondacks.

Got up around 5:45 am which is late for me ⏰ but I was a bit tired as I woke up a few times during the night and got listening 👂 to podcasts. 📻 Pumpkin pancakes 🥞 for breakfast. Swapping the banana 🍌 for an egg 🥚 in the mixture definitely makes it things much more cake like. Less sweet though.

I figure they’ll let us go at two o’clock or so 🏢 👉 🏘 but with the dreary weather ☔ there is really no reason to leave before the early express bus 🚍 at four o’clock. If it was nicer and I rode my bike in like yesterday I might take the get out of jail pass 🛂 but alas it’s not free. I don’t have that much time in my time bank left over.

It seems like all that Greek yogurt, Keifer and saukraut has helped with my upset stomach that I’ve been having lately. 🤮 That and no bean soup, or pea soup. Maybe it was a stomach bug 🐛 that bad garlic powder I dumped down the sink or too much fiber. That said, the chicken 🐔 soup I made up last night to go with the homemade bread 🍞 was good. Also opened up some of the canned pumpkin 🎃 to have with Greek yogurt for dessert.

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 7 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 😃 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 36. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 41. Typical average high for the weekend is 45 degrees.

I didn’t commit to taking off Monday 🗻 yet as I wanted to see how much snow 🌨 they got in the Adirondacks before deciding to go north but I think 🤔 it will be a nice and weekend if not a bit cool. But I can have hot soups, a campfire 🔥 and I’ll have my propane heater ♨ and warm clothes for warmth.

Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until Saint Nicholas Day 🎅 when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm.

Tuesday before Thanksgiving 🦃

40 days left in the year, three days until I head up north to the Adirondacks. Heat is finally turned on for a while though this time of year I find it overrides and is uncomfortably warm.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Mostly clear and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Cold start to the morning. Free car battery and heat test. My heat was back on for a while last night until it got too uncomfortably warm inside. Regardless, things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌡️

To ride in or not, 🚲 that’s the question 🙋. It’s cold out but I like saving the buck thirty 🪙 and the exercise – it’s better than walking 45 minutes. I want to get in early though so I have time to walk 🚶 the Plaza as this evening looks like crap. Going to rain tonight with wet snow. 🌨 ☔ Got books 📚 out of the library to read tonight and when I’m camping 🏕 in the Adirondacks this weekend.

Today will have increasing clouds ☁, with a high of 40 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 9th.

Two 🍞 loaves of bread are baked, had a nice breakfast of eggs 🥚 and all the fixings, along with some fresh bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. 🍳 Has given me a lot of energy ⚡ plus that cold really wakes you up. 😲 But I’m ready for the day to come. But first eighteen flights of stairs to climb – actually one less than that because you start at number one floor not counting the stairs in the LOB.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:42 am with sun having an altitude of 27.5° from the due south horizon (-43.3° vs. 6/21).

The weather might be shit by the end of day 💩 but the way I look at it I’ll toss my bicycle 🚲 on the bus 🚍 and whatever. Still saved the bus fare 🪙and got some better exercise then walking 🚶 though my goal 🥅 is to get in 10k steps in if possible without an evening walk. 👣

Tonight will rain, snow, and sleet before 11pm, then rain, possibly mixed with snow between 11pm and midnight, then rain after midnight. 🌧 Low of 36 degrees at 9pm.

Typical average high for the weekend is 45 degrees. Going to be cold ❄ up north but I’ll dress warmly and spring the propane heater. I should be good on propane gas for the weekend. ♨ Planning to take off Monday so I have four days and three nights away from it all off the grid. Leave Friday which is a state or at least agency holiday.

Bar owners will note that there are 2 weeks until Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺 when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm. Might be able to get good specials that day not that I drink much anymore. It’s not real healthy. On that day in 2022, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 44 and 26 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 42 degrees. We hit a record high of 65 back in 2001.

Monday, Monday with Thanksgiving in the Future 🦃

Hello second part of November. Looking forward to a better week after a rough weekend. Feeling better today, that is to the extent I’m feeling much at all, maybe my head is completely set onto Friday and getting out of town and away from it all. I should enjoy these days, as they won’t be around forever.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. But it’s a three day week. Sunny and 28 degrees in Albany, NY. 🌞 There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️ Need those gloves for the ride downtown, though at least it’s clear.

Kind of a chilly morning 🚲 for the bike ride downtown, but sunny. Still cold in the valleys though, especially in the gorge below Southern Boulevard and the Thursday, Yes, it’s a Monday, but I’m moving forward. Up at 5 AM, boiled down 2 lbs of chickpeas, and also a big pot of rice, lentils, beans, corn, broccoli and chiptole spice. 🥘 Used some of the chickpeas for hummus this morning, I have a ton of celery that I got on sale at the store yesterday, the rest of the chickpeas and probably some of the aquafava their cooked in will be frozen. I can use the chickpeas in chicken soup tomorrow, along with having some as a snack with blueberries when camping this upcoming weekend int he Adirondacks. 😋

The record high of 72 was set in 1991. 3.4 inches of snow fell back in 1961. 🌨

I might go for a midday 🕛 ride or maybe just a walk 🚶 on my lunch break. I was going to do a morning walk but it’s so dark these days so I decided to instead leave earlier for my ride to work, then walk in the Plaza when I got there. But the time I was done with breakfast and showered, 🛀 and rode downtown 🚲 it was basically just time to get to work.

A day to remind us of October days gone by ☀

Making a run at sixty degrees this afternoon but don’t worry the sun will be setting in the four o’clock hour so no bike ride home.

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Sunny and 31 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 7 am. 🌡️

Kind of a cold start to the morning, ❄️ for my morning walk. I was up at 5 AM to start the pea soup 🥘 but went back to bed until around 6 AM when I went out for my walk. Oatmeal pancakes, this time experimenting with an egg in the batter, some cider vinegar and baking soda to see if I can make them more fluffy. 🥞 Honestly, they were somewhat better. I should play with whole-wheat flour and a more conventional pancake recipe, though I don’t like the idea of adding sugar or oil to the mix. Plenty of sugar from the blueberries 🫐 I used in the mix.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 57 degrees at 2pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 28th. Light and variable wind becoming southeast around 5 mph. A year ago, we had light drizzle in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 42 degrees. The record high of 71 was set in 2006. 3.4 inches of snow fell back in 2002.❄

Riding to work today, 🚲 should be a nice one for that. If not so dark in the evening, it would be excellent for a bike ride home too. Going to be certainly mild enough, I’ll take October weather in mid-November. I’m hoping for a pretty mild winter, ⛄ being an El Nino year. So far no snow or even salt on the roads, as we’ve not had any icing or snow this year as it’s been mild and relatively dry. Probably the best chance for them calling out the salters in the mountains is that Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but even I’m skeptical about that. They’ve had them out a lot more in the highlands of West Virginia this year.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:41 am with sun having an altitude of 28.7° from the due south horizon (-42.1° vs. 6/21).

Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 45 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 6 seconds over today.

Dinner last night was 15-bean soup 🥘 but as I didn’t have enough soup, I cut up some spinach, celery, carrots, onions and added some smoked paprika to make it a meal, dipped in with lots homemade bread, this way the loaf without the shredded carrots. 🥕 As much as I like my bread with the carrots 🍞 I find it really tough on my stomach and guts, so I might end up cutting that out for just whole-wheat bread with some oatmeal put in the mix. Or just only whole-wheat flour, if I want things to be fluffier. Dessert was Greek yogurt with too much canned 100% pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. Tasted good but I probably eat too much. I keep telling myself I need to get pie pumpkins 🎃 and make my own pumpkin up at home. It would save the can ♻️ that I otherwise have to save for recycling. Rather compost then recycle, then tin cans usually still have a good market.

Last night I returned my library books 📚 to the library. I had a stack of books I haven’t read but I keep putting off returning them. I am spending my free time with the Udemy classes on Remote Sensing, so it’s not that I’m not learning, but it’s not with books. Most of the library books I get out are pretty out of date, and I am lazy and I just like watching video lectures, especially now that I get Udemy through my library for free. 📱 There are so many great online resources I’m learning I can access with my library card, physical books aren’t the only way to keep up with the world. 🌎 Plus I like being able to snuggle under my heated blanket with the phone, rather then a book. That said, I’m usually dog tired by 8 or 8:30 PM as I get up at 5 AM each day, to start cooking. 👩‍🍳

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 34 degrees at 1am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around November 9th. South wind 3 to 7 mph.

Looking forward to that pea soup when I get home 🍵 re-heated up with lots of good homemade bread and some balsamic vinegar. Just writing that makes me hungry. Not a real cool evening but it’s not exactly warm and with the sun set so early, it should be plenty cool by later in the evening.

Happy GIS Day! 🗺 ♻

Draw me a map by Deirks Bentley might be an appropiate song for today. I mean that’s what everybody expects the people in Buffalo to order LATFOR nee IRC to do. I’ll try to post new maps today, not those type, though I might be too busy but I can always recycle one on this America Recycles Day. Cause as any good redneck will tell you, ya can’t burn everything though many have tried.

Good morning! What day is it? Quite an introduction to GIS Day, of course. 🗺 Partly clear and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. 🌅 Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 5 am. ☃️ Not that it’s much warmer than that this morning but the salters ain’t out yet.

Slept into almost six o’clock this morning 🛏 as I didn’t get to bed 🛏 until close to nine due to attending that public meeting in Colonie over more development in the Albany Pine Bush. Endless hearings it seems like and most of it wasn’t even about the Pine Bush. 🦋🌲🌲🦋 More of that bean soup last night and carrot 🥕 bread. That electric⚡blanket felt so good this morning 🛏 especially as I don’t have the heat on yet so it’s fairly cool in my bedroom. But I like cool, makes the coffee ☕ and the hot shower 🚿 better in the morning. ☺

Decided on French Toast 🍞 this morning to with the loaf of non carrot homemade bread I pulled out of the freezer topped with blueberries and lots of cinnamon and ginger. Good breakfast, the eggs 🥚 in the French Toast add protein to hopefully resist the blood sugar crash from the blueberries 🫐. Haven’t done French Toast in a long time.

Figured it would be good to cut back on the FODMAPS at least temporarily🍚😲 as I’ve been so gassy lately that all the knock off Gas X ain’t helping. It’s just been a lot of fiber and beans and lentils. Healthy but tough on the guts. 💩My love of all things carrot 🥕 is tiring me out, got to change it up.

Heading in early this morning as it’s pretty nice and I’m up and going. 🚲 I’ll ride in and save the bus fare 💵 and then put my bike on the bus 🚍 for the trip back home. It’s too bad the evenings are so dark with the time change. I probably could have done a morning walk but I figure I’ll get to the Plaza early on my bike then walk 🚶 the Concourse until quarter to nine then climb the eighteen flights of the stairs to my office 🏢.

I’m hoping to get squash of some kind at the Farmers Market 🍆 🎃 today. I would like to bake it up with bread on Friday and probably pea soup 🍲 and chickpeas for the weekend to make hummus. Been thinking about making pancakes 🥞 from scratch using whole wheat 🌾 flour rather than oats and banana as a way to change things up and get more protein in breakfast as most pancake recipes involve eggs. 🥚 Change is good, oats are healthy but not the only option.

The Slingerlands Rail Trail Bridge 🌉 is finally done so that’s an excuse to ride out to Voorheesville this weekend. 🍏 Maybe get apples. The Bethlehem Sportsmart is Saturday might go and look at getting cross country skis 🎿 as one of mine cracked last year. Also considering going to the Pine Bush to ride trail and visit the Salvation Army for clothes along with Aldis and India Farmers Market. Options exist for the coming weekend though I’m hoping to get away the following weekend to the Adirondacks.
