Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. The weekend is getting closer but working from home it doesn’t seem like much of a change. Six weeks to Latest Sunset 🌆. Sunny and 36 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a west breeze at 6 mph. 🍃.

Another sunny but cool day on tap. ⛲ I will probably go for my morning walk 🚶 before walk and get some fresh air before getting down to work at nine. Maybe if it’s warm enough I’ll sit out back for work. 🐦 Birds are chirping this morning but still cool for mid May. But the heat is coming starting in about a week. Going to be hot to round out the month.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 57 degrees at 3pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 13th. Northwest wind 6 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 54 degrees. The record high of 86 was set in 2004. There was a dusting of snow in 1953.❄

I have a list of things 📃 I’d like to get at Walmart today. I’m thinking of going shopping during my lunch break to avoid the crowds. I need a spray bottle for the Permethrin application to my jeans 👖 as I want to try that out tomorrow maybe after going to the laundromat when there is still sun to dry the clothes outside. I also need to get some socks, frozen fruit for breakfast and snacks, more meat and eggs 🍳. Also maybe another pair of Bluetooth headphones. 🎧

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 65.9° from the due south horizon (-4.9° vs. 6/21). Doesn’t get much higher in the sky. A six foot person will cast a 2.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:29 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (290°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (297°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:10 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 8:41 pm, which is one minute and 4 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:22 pm. At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 50 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 72. Maximum dew point of 51 at 8am. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 67. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Maximum dew point of 49 at 1pm. Typical average high for the weekend is 70 degrees.

The weekend forecast still looks decent Saturday ☀ but also not so great for Friday and Sunday. I think my best option is to stay home this weekend. Maybe I will go up north Memorial Day Weekend. If I do that I’ll probably take off a week from Friday and leave before dawn on Friday to ensure that I can get a campsite. Probably Piseco Powley Road ⛺ but maybe not. It depends a lot on the final forecast – saying all of Memorial Day Weekend will be 80 and sunny is uncertain. If I do go up north that will be after spraying my clothes with Permethrin and using the screen house 🎪 as it’s bound to be buggy.

Looking ahead, there are 6 weeks until Latest Sunset 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:12 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly cloudy and temperatures between 85 and 56 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 80 degrees. We hit a record high of 96 back in 1943.

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 21 mph 💨💨💨. The skies will clear around 10 pm.

Kind of a chilly evening 🌃 when I went for my evening walk 🚶 but I’m not complaining, the muggers will be here before you know it. You will be dripping in sweat 😰 and while it will get nicer after dark it still will mean sticky conditions for sleeping. I’m hoping though come a few weeks my old office 🏢 will be open and things will be cool and air conditioned once again.

I ordered the screen house tent 🎪 for camping. I’m not going to use it a lot because it’s a fair amount of work to take down and set back up but for long holiday weekends and summer vacations I plan to use it to escape the bugs and rain. I also ordered a propane lantern tree so I can use that when I don’t have a good place to hang the lantern like in the screen house. Took advantage of both the money 💵 I got for my birthday 🎂 from my parents and the gift card 📦 I got from CDTA for participating in their online fact finding group.

A pretty quiet day at work, 💼 I ended up spending most of the day down at the library parking lot as it was quiet there and nice sunny weather for using the Wi-Fi. ☀ At one point there was five cars there with people getting on the web. Become popular. Honestly, I could get Wi-Fi at home but I like working down at the library or Five Rivers using my personal laptop and the charger running off the solar.

Another cold night on tap. Tonight will have areas of frost after 1am. Otherwise, partly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 33 degrees at 4am. 13 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th. West wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.

Not a real nice morning but I’ll get up and shower and get ready for work. I’d like to get to the library to download more data and upload more maps and photos to the blog. 📚 I heard that soon the library may be opening for library book curbside pick up so I can get some more books to read. That would be cool especially with summer underway. 😎

I went for a walk 🚶 around the superblock past the high school 🚸 and got some fresh air before work today. I was surprised how many people I saw out and about. Not a real nice day but I think people want to get out before the rain starts ☔ and truth be told not a real nice weekend.

Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 55 degrees at 1pm. 13 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 9th. South wind 5 to 7 mph becoming west in the afternoon.

My bottle 🍶 of perthemerian is supposed to arrive mid week and I will pick up a couple of spray bottles probably from Walmart. I think that’s the fastest, safest and most economical way to apply it to my clothes. I’ll probably spray only a few pair of jeans 👖 and shirts 👚 at first to ensure it doesn’t stain clothes or It shouldn’t but you never know. I only have one week left of doxycycline and I don’t want to get Lyme again this summer.🐜 Even if I do go down to the park I’ll probably sit in a bench rather than on the grass. 🌾

I’d like to get out of town this weekend ⛺ but I think it might be kind of gray and rainy like this past weekend. Not sure it’s something to watch. Next week through Memorial Day Weekend looks fairly mild. Not seeing a lot of 80s but I could see things getting that warm as we head into June. I wonder how hot it will be Memorial Day Weekend? 🏊 I am still thinking that following week to camp but if that’s the week my ordinary office 🏢 downtown reopens that might not be a possibility to take a long weekend.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Seems like just another day working from home on weekdays, especially when I’m staying in town this weekend. 🏡But maybe it will be nice this next weekend. Four weeks to 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️. Despite the cold and snow tomorrow, summer is coming. It’s May after all and mid May by next week.

All and all a nice morning today. Partly sunny and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a west-southwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃.

Before work today I went for a very pleasant nearly two hour walk 🚶 around the rail trail starting at 7 AM.

Saw a Blue Jay, 🐦 got a nice picture. Home by nine for work.

Beautiful morning. ☺. Started my day with a nice walk 🚶 around the super block and then I’m planning to work outside most of the day. 💼 Maybe go down to the library books 📚 where I can work with the faster internet and upload new stuff to the site blog. 🌸

Feeling quite well now 💊 with the doxycycline doing its magic. Aches and soreness in my legs are mostly home not as tired 😴. Lyme disease sucks. Heck even my phone 📱 autocomplete knows that now. I was told that the reason I was so much more tired and sick from the doxycycline this time was the Lyme disease infection was recent and the disease was much more of a fight. Pretty good now but still a bit sore.

One month 📅 from now will be Strawberry Moon 🌕 when the sun will be setting at 8:31 pm with dusk at 9:05 pm. The average high temperature is 32 degrees, with a record high of 61 in 1895.

Good evening! Partly clear and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 46 degrees. Nice evening, sat out back for a while. Not feeling terrible but still a little achy from the Lyme. I still need to take the doxycline I got from the doctor Friday. 💊

Sleeping with the windows open tonight ⬛ which is nice until I heard the sirens from the meat wagon 🚑go roaring by. I wonder if it’s somebody dying of Coronavirus? Hopefully nobody I know. It’s a question one always asks these days.

I thought about staying up north one more night and driving home early tomorrow 🚘 but I decided against that as I broke camp midday to go hiking. 🚶 While hiking the remote section of the abandoned Dunning Pond Snowmobile Trail was quiet I eventually lost the trail as it got into dense woods with lots of trees down and few of the old markers. 🔴 Some nice views of the gorge and then a lot of it was an eroded mountain road until the trail left the road and disappeared into the woods. This wouldn’t have been a big problem if I had the GPS tracks from my Google County Maps part of the blog but of course I managed to somehow delete them off my phone. I got to make sure I have them on the phone along with USGS Topo maps saved. I would have also had a better chance of following the herd path up to Eagle Pond that I had lost on Saturday if I had that data saved. 🌐Well there always is future trips up north.

It was a pretty good weekend up north 😎 with lots of sun and actually quite mild and warm most of the weekend except for brief rain shower around 10 pm Saturday night 💦when I ended up retiring to my truck cap earlier than I had planned. Had a nice big fire 🔥 at the same campsite I’ve been at the past few times I’ve been up north on the East Branch Sacandaga River. ⛺ Some traffic 🚥 noise but pretty nice. Spent a lot of time laying back in the hammock, soaking up the sun. ☀ The sun felt good especially when I felt achy from the Lyme. Warm enough a good portion of the weekend I could just lay out with a t shirt 👚 on.

Left my Bluetooth speaker 🔊 home which was annoying when I wanted to listen to podcasts and music 🎶. I’m going to start leaving that in the truck. Better to charge it there too – I don’t pay for the unused solar power the truck produces while parked with the solar controller in float mode. 🔋 Also forgot ketchup for my hotdogs – ended up topping them with baked beans and cheese. 🍣

Explored more of the Fox Lair remains, I want to do one of those historical aerial photo comparisons, especially if I can find the 1942 aerial photo 📷. Not a lot left of the ruins, but I wonder if I can find more old pictures on the internet. 🏰Did some walking 🚶 along NY 8 just for exercise too and to take in the scenery.

Came back relatively early, I was unpacked by about six. 🏡 Laid back on my bed for a while before showering 🚿 and shaving. Got a nice tan. Those side burns I’ve grown are coming in nicely but I do need a hair cut 💇. I’m going to do some trimming myself in the morning as who knows when the barber 💈 is going to be allowed to reopen. My barber is so elderly, I wonder if he will just hang up his hat 🎩 after the pandemic. I decided to avoid the expressway and cities home so I took NY 30 to Duanesburg Churches Road past the Mariaville Farm to US 20. Pretty drive with things greening up outside Amsterdam but I tell you there are some sharp curves on NY 30 south of Amsterdam. 🔶

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 49 degrees at 6am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 21st. West wind 6 to 8 mph. In 2019, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 28 occurred back in 1985.

Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Thursday, May 7.

The high last year was 67 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1944. There was a dusting of snow in 1986.❄

Tomorrow I probably should go to the laundromat 👖👕 👚 and wash some clothes and probably my sheets too. I can probably bring my laptop there and work from there, uploading pictures from the weekend that was. I’m good on food but the two gallons of milk I bought last week is almost all drunk. I do like my cow 🐮 beverages. Other than that I should be good on food until mid week.

As I noted previously, last weekend I got another tick bite. 🐜I was sore found it on Tuesday. Its been weird – sometimes I feel fine other times terribly stiff and sore. No bulls eye though. Went to the doctor on Friday, she kind of thought I didn’t have Lyme but gave me doxycline. 💊 I held off taking it as I went to the Adirondacks for the weekend and knew doxycline and sun don’t mix due to the risk of severe sunburn. I’m also a little mixed on my concern – it stings from time to time around where I was bit, I’ve been super sleepy at times. 😴 I don’t want to take an antibiotic I don’t need. But I guess the doctor while questioning 🙋 me said I should take it. I don’t know what to think.

It was such a werid experience going to the doctors office during the pandemic. 😫The doors had big signs warning people that if they had cold or flu symptoms they aren’t welcome and that they did not offer Coronavirus testing there. The whole experience was kind of odd and frightening. 👾

While I’m always cautious about social distancing and wearing a mask out in public places but between the limited vision under the banada, the empty doctors office, the hand sanitizer everywhere and all these things like a special Coronavirus questionnaire that I had to do on my phone before the doctor would see me. 📱 I was so creeped out by the experience.

In four weeks on May 31 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (301°) at 8:26 pm,🌄 which is 27 minutes and 53 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy, mist and temperatures between 76 and 55 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 74 and 52 degrees. The record high of 92 degrees was set back in 2013.

It looks like for Mothers Day it’s going to be cold and they might get snow in the Adirondacks. ❄ It does not look like a good weekend to get out of town. I’m still thinking about a mid May trip out to Schoharie County – maybe three nights with me working from my truck on a Monday. ⛺ I’m thinking the last week of May – the one after Memorial Day Weekend – to do a three night trip to Piseco Powley Road starting that Thursday night before the weekend if it is nice. I hope to have the screen house by then to avoid the bugs. Peak black fly season isn’t so bad if I have shelter during the day as black flies aren’t out after dark. Memorial Day Weekend proper I’ll stay home 🏡 most likely to avoid the crowds especially if other developed campgrounds are closed forcing people into the back country taking up all the good sites. I’m also seriously thinking about planning my summer vacation up at Piseco Powley Road – and a week at the House Pond Swimming Hole could make up for all the state park pools being closed. 🏊 I’d have to see about getting a camping permit.

Looking ahead, Mothers Day 👩‍ is in 1 week, Pack Rat Day 🐀 is in 2 weeks, Strawberry Moon 🌕 is in 5 weeks, Fathers Day 👨 is in 6 weeks, Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 6 months and Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 6 months.

🇺🇸🦅Only 19 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
