Good morning! Happy Sunday. ⛪ I guess if you have internet at home you can stream virtual church but I’d rather spend my time in the wilderness. 🌲 God can be heard by listening to the birds 🐦 which I still enjoy giving the middle finger too. Two weeks to Mothers Day 👩‍. Time to get out that Frank Zappa record, Motherly Love. 😍 Cloudy and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Rain is definitely coming…. For most of the next week according to the radar. 💦 There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Tuesday around 2 pm.

I don’t know, maybe last night would have been fine in the woods 🌲🌳⛺ but it wasn’t a real starry night 🌃 with the clouds pushing in early and the breeze pushing in and things super dry and buggy in the hill towns. 🐜 I was planning on going to Rennselearville State Forest to hammock camp but I think I’ll wait until the nights are warmer and less buggy. I think yesterday the black flies had just hatched from the warm weather.

Even though I didn’t camp 🚶 I had a nice day when I started out at Black Creek Marsh (highly recommended early mornings, especially off Depot Road) and then hiked up old Partridge Run Road to Fawn Lake then over to the Gulf and ultimately along the ridge line. I mostly shot those photos 📷 with the other camera, I’ll upload them this week. I was darn tired 😴 when I got home and went to bed.

Today will rain, mainly after 11am. 🌧 High of 55 degrees at 9am. 13 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 29th.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:54 pm with sun having an altitude of 61.1° from the due south horizon (-9.7° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:12 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (283°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (290°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:50 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 4 seconds with dusk around 8:20 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon in the west (272°) at an altitude of 32° from the horizon, 242,202 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:58 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 43 degrees. There will be a north-northeast breeze at 11 mph.

Tonight will rain. 🌧 Low of 38 degrees at 11pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 18th. Just a cold wet rain here. North wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. In 2019, we had light rain in the evening, which became clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1963.

Plans for today include washing the truck 🚘 and running to Walmart. 🏪 Hopefully it won’t be too crowded but there is a lot of things I need and today would be a good day to do it. I have some projects coming down the pike on Monday for work so I expect a busy day then. Next weekend it might be a good week to go back to the Adirondacks for the weekend depending on the weather. I want to do a trip out to Schoharie but not until things green up in in May.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Mothers Day 👩‍ when the sun will be setting at 8:05 pm with dusk at 8:37 pm.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Two weeks to Cinco de Mayo 🤠. Cloudy and 41 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ It was nice earlier this morning but then it clouded up in Trump’s America. There is a south breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow midnight. ☃️

Definitely started out quite nice ☀ but I knew it wouldn’t last long. But that’s fine, I’ll work inside today from home. I certainly have a busy day at work today and working from home means no distraction. No Zoom meeting today so I don’t have to shave before work which is nice but I may shower and get cleaned up during lunch. 🚿 Later on this afternoon I may run to the car wash just to get out as I get tired of being cooped up after working at home all day. That’s kind of why I prefer to work from Five Rivers or the library on the Wi-Fi to break things up. 📶Plus if I use my personal laptop I don’t have to worry about accidentally going to a personal web page or doing something like checking the weather.

Typical average high for the weekend is 63 degrees. Honestly doesn’t seem like a really nice weekend for spring 🌸 but I’ll continue to monitor the forecast and decide what weekend plans should be. I’m thinking about a Schoharie County trip ⛺ but maybe not this weekend.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Cinco de Mayo 🤠 when the sun will be setting at 8:00 pm with dusk at 8:31 pm. On that day in 2019, we had rain showers, partly cloudy and temperatures between 58 and 52 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 66 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 1944.

Good evening! Partly clear and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. I 🌃 There is a west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️

I sat out back for a while. ✨ Kind of a starry night but admittedly it feels more like March then mid April. I guess I shouldn’t wish too much for balmy nights – they’ll be here before you know it. 🍨I just hope the ice cream sales at Stewart’s return by then.

It was a nice day, fairly quiet day at work from home, 💻 followed by a nice walk at Papscanne Island Nature Preserve. Went down to the laundromat mid day with my laptop. 👚 👖 At the nature prserve there was lots of birds 🐦 and wetlands to observe in the backwaters of the Hudson River 🐸 . I went there about five years ago now, I didn’t explore the area fully that time. While I left my camera home I took my phone with me and took a bunch of pictures that I’ll upload the next time I’m on the internet with my laptop. 📶

I have a shopped at Aldi’s today, which despite spending $71 I still was missing some essentials. 🍏 It’s a nice small store and it was quick in and out with folks sanitizing the carts out front – no quarter 💱 required this time. I’m actually kind of wearing out my love for Aldi – I wish they had more bulk packaging and some of their prices really aren’t competitive with Walmart or even the overpriced suburban groceries around. That said, I did buy a lot of extra food for camp and next week so to avoid the stores as much as possible.

That said, getting home I forgot chillis for the burritos 🍥I plan on making up at camp and they didn’t have razors or beer or motor oil and night crawlers. 🍻 I’ve been avoiding Walmart since the pandemic got underway but I may end up driving there and to the bank in Glenmont tomorrow, prior to my weekend trip. ⛽ Truck is all gassed up. I was trying to avoid going to the store again but I’ll try to do it at Walmart tomorrow in a one shot deal. Every time I go out in public even with the face mask – well the bandana 😷 – I know I’m expanding my risk of getting critically sick.

I was reading the news 📰 and that 39 year old farmer and his pregnant wife with Coronavirus just outside Canastota. 👾The farmer is hospitalized and is relatively healthy besides asthmaand probably a bit chubby too many years of drinking lots of milk straight from the bulk tank and take out in the tractor cab. 🐮 Two of the farm workers are also sick says the article. Seems like Coronavirus is quite wide spread in the Central New York farming community from recent reports I’ve seen in the news. Madison County has been particularly bad on a per capita basis 👥and they have a lot of agriculture there especially in the hills and valleys of the southern part of the county. You wouldn’t think that the air flow of barns 🐽 and UV light ☀ outside would be that conducive to the virus like the dense elevators and subways of New York City 🚉. It’s kind of scary as I know a lot of folks out in Madison County and and I have more in common with many of them as the densely packed New York City. 🌆

Tonight will have a chance of rain and snow showers between 11pm and 1am, then snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 31 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 31st. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 37 degrees. The record low of 22 occurred back in 1981.

Tonight will have a Last Quarter 🌗 Moon with 39% illuminated. The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Friday, May 1. The darkest hour is at 12:56 am, followed by dawn at 5:45 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:14 am in the east-northeast (76°) and last for 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 37 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:52 am with sun in the east (82°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 33 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 45 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 3pm. 14 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 18th. Northwest wind 9 to 15 mph. That is going to be a cold one, probably one of the coldest on record for day time highs for April 16th. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 58 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2012. 5.3 inches of snow fell back in 1983.❄

Probably end up working inside as it will be too cold to sit outside despite the sun. ☀ I’m looking forward to nicer days and being able to work outside rather than the dungeon windowless office at work. Tomorrow I need to load up my camping gear, go through the checklist ☑ and have everything ready to leave hopefully fairly early on Friday but it depends how busy I’m at work. That said, working from home means I’m parked right outside and it’s not a long jot to head out.

Looking forward to getting away for a few days ⛺ in the wilderness, at least before that is hopefully not banned. 😧 I haven’t done anything shooting in a few weeks with the range closed 🔫 and I haven’t put in much time fishing 🎣 either and the last time I had a fire was New Years Eve. Might get a little snow on Friday night but I expect it will be gone by the time the sun ☀ comes up on Sunday. I’m hoping the federal government will sanction states that get too far out of line. Slowing Coronavirus is important but some things are getting way out of line. I’m going to bring my work laptop up there and briefly boot it to see if I can work from camp at a future week if I decide on a long weekend come May or June and don’t want to charge the time. I wish I could do a bigger trip but it’s kind of hard to ask for time off from work right now and I don’t want to buy gas or shop 🏪 away from home where I lack hot water and soap to carefully wash my hands 👏 as soon as I get home. It was bad enough today when I discovered after pumping gas that my spray bottle with rubbing alcohol was empty. I got to careful how much rubbing alcohol I put on my hands as they’re already getting dried out from the use. Most hand sanitizers also contain glycerin to avoid cracked hands but I haven’t been able to get glycerin at the store.

Taxes are paid. 💵 I guess I could have delayed filling until July 15th but they were done weeks ago and there is another quarterly tax payment due then so why delay paying for a possible few pennies of interest. Got it done for a few months until next year. I was a bit concerned that the tax department had my old format bank account number on file and the website was down last week for fixing it but the transfer cleared without issue. ☺

In four weeks on May 13 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (296°) at 8:09 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 18 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 54 and 42 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 69 and 46 degrees. The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 2004.

I am not convinced this will be a very good weekend ☀ despite the sun on Saturday. But I’m watching and thinking 💭 about my options carefully. It is a three day weekend so I do have a few different options but hopefully it won’t be too cold and nasty. Plus who knows how much snow they’ll have up north today.

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Flower Moon 🌕 when the sun will be setting at 8:02 pm with dusk at 8:34 pm.

Today wasn’t a half bad day, 😊busy at work but unfortunately not a real nice day for working outside so I stayed home and worked on my work computer. 💻 As I only do work on that machine I’m much more productive, not checking my personal email 📧 or social media. After work, I walked down to the town park 🚶 and got some podcasts. 🎧 I am watching some videos I downloaded the other day. It did clear out for a while today and I thought about driving out to Five Rivers 🐸 to work on the wifi. But it was probably much more productive working from home. Hot Meatball sandwich for lunch, hot dogs and beans with cheese for dinner. 🍱Not really adventurous cooking today. 🍲 Yesterday’s tuna fish melt was really good though. 🐠

While it was a pretty nice evening I decided after my walk 🚶 to lay in bed and catch up on some of the YouTube videos I downloaded yesterday while I was working at Five Rivers. 🎥 Farmers are busy with prepping fields this time of year, 🚜 they’ve moved beyond counting the hundreds of loads of manure 💩 they’ve hauled over the winter that’s come and gone. 🌾Things are starting to green up in the valley now, the average low is about 35 at this point and nights below freezing are becoming rare. Even in the upland, spring is coming.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 40 degrees at 4am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 22nd. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming south after midnight. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 41 degrees. The record low of 16 occurred back in 1977.

Been working on growing out my side burns during the quarantine. 🙊 While my hairy face isn’t quite a secret with all the zoom meetings I’ve been participating in 📹, truth be told everybody is getting long and shaggy so I might as well join in the fun and try something different. 💈 I haven’t gotten rid of the goatee I have but I might. Good to try something new and fool all the facial recognition cameras on the street. ☺🎥 It’s creepy enough that the politicians are monitoring people’s cellphone pings and using it to pronounce if people are doing enough social distancing. Honestly if I plan to travel I’ll just pull my cellphone 📱 battery. Stop those creeps in government from judging my pings. 📍

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 98% illuminated. The moon is quite bright 🔆 tonight. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Friday, April 24.

But definitely a work from home day I think. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. I know some other models say it will be colder. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 77 was set in 1991. 13.3 inches of snow fell back in 2000.❄

So one model says the upper elevations may get several inches of snow ❄ tomorrow into Good Friday, while others call for cold and cloudy weather for the weekend. Yet others call for all rain ☔ event with more sun ☀ and not as cold this weekend. I don’t know about this weekend. I may or may not have plans, I don’t know. I actually have three different scenarios, maybe four – it depends a lot. ⛺ 🔥 🚶 🎣 🔫 ❓❔❓❔I have to remember that Sunday is Easter 🐰 so I can’t plan on going shopping on Sunday. 🍏 Regardless, I plan on practicing social distancing, 👤although if I stay in town I might join my neighbors six feet away next to their fire pit. 🔥 I’ll have to buy some beer 🍻.

In four weeks on May 6 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (294°) at 8:01 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 42 seconds later then tonight. Seems both oddly close and far away at same time. Hopefully by then things will be return back to normal. In 2019 on that day, we had partly sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 74 and 53 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 67 and 44 degrees. The record high of 89 degrees was set back in 1930.

Good morning! Happy Pink Moon 🌕! I don’t see much sign of last night in the clouds and I’ll doubt we’ll see it tonight. Next Wednesday is Tax Day 💰. I got fix something on one of my tax forms if I can get the state tax department website to work.

Not a real nice day compared to yesterday but better than the forecast for tomorrow. Clouds and 46 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 1 am. ☃️

That said the queche I made today was pretty good 🍳 although probably not the healthiest using corned beef hash ♯ with lots of veggies and peppers. I’m trying to come up with more meal ideas 😍, I’m tired of the same things everyday.

Things are kind of wet and gray this morning, 💦 it rained for a while this morning and I’m not encouraged to think it’s going to be a real nice day. I have my work laptop and will just work from my bedroom today as much as I really resent bringing work into my home. That said, I’ve figured out how to build a nice set with lights and my pride flag for Zoom meetings at work 👥. I expect a busy day today as I continue to work on the report for work – 📝 it’s good to start getting back into the routine of things.

I woke up this morning and felt kind of sick with a sore throat and nose 👃 bothering me but the magic Claradin D pill 💊 helped me feel better. As did the queche. 🍳 I think it’s a mold allergy working from home but I don’t know, it seems to get worse when I’m home all day. I doubt it’s COVID 19, as I have no fever and it’s been going on going for four weeks now. That said I do look forward to things getting back to normal sooner than later. 🌈

Good evening! Partly clear and 52 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. I don’t know with that breeze it feels fairly cool. I was sitting out back but I might retire to bed inside fairly soon as it’s getting cold outside. It’s by no means a summer night, but usually those are either super muggy or cold or I have to go to work bright and early the next day. 🔆 Been a very low humidity day, kind of blustery but at least the ground is wet from all the rain we’ve had lately.

All and all not a bad day. Got my wash done 👕👖and bought groceries 🍎🍄🌽. Nice to have good clean sheets as they were starting to smell a little bit. Hands 👏are really dry from all the rubbing alcohol I’ve been putting on them to sanitize them after going into business. Bought milk 🐮, went for my evening walk down to the park 🚶, and did some walking around at Five Rivers after working there in the afternoon on the Wi-Fi. 💻

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 39 degrees at 5am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 19th.

At 9 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (118°) at an altitude of 32° from the horizon, some 226,318 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀Fairly bright out but the moon’s altitude is lower than some night’s recently so there are a lot of shadows. At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by September 25^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Tuesday, April 7. The darkest hour is at 12:58 am, followed by dawn at 6:00 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:29 am in the east (80°) and last for 2 minutes and 56 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 43 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:06 am with sun in the east (87°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 58 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 49 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 63 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 25th. Going to be one more real nice day until two days of rain than cold weather for the long weekend. West wind 5 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 68 degrees. Warmer last year. The record high of 87 was set in 2010. 3.2 inches of snow fell back in 1896.❄ Winter is almost done but no guarantees that we won’t have one more big one.

In four weeks on May 4 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (293°) at 7:59 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had mostly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 67 and 52 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 66 and 44 degrees. The record high of 91 degrees was set back in 1944.

Which is fine that four weeks from now we will be in the meet of May 🌸 and things will be really green but I find it hard to accept that seven weeks from now will be Memorial Day and we will be in the prime of Black Fly Season. I really should start doing some more research on picnic table tents 🎪 as I want to get one before Memorial Day Weekend. Also if I decide to camp at Rennselearville State Forest I should inquire about getting a permit with the forest ranger. 🎫

Some how with everything shut down and meetings so screwed up from Coronavirus 👾 time flies by so quickly. Maybe it’s just that I want things to get back to normal so I’m kind of letting the clock 🕒 slide by quickly in hopes that all the usual activities will take place by summer. It would kind of suck if all the state park pools were closed this summer. 🏊 It’s a lot of fun swimming out at Mine Kill State Park, for example. I bet with state budget cuts though that their won’t be a lot of maintenance or investment in the state parks or DEC lands in the coming year.

Looking ahead, Arbor Day 🌳 is in 3 weeks, 8 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 4 weeks, Flower Moon 🌕 is in 6 weeks, Memorial Day 🇺🇸 is in 7 weeks, June 🍹 is in 8 weeks and Average High is 80 🏖 is in 11 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 45 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
