July 8, 2019 Night

Good evening! Clear and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. 🌟 The dew point is 56 degrees. Pleasant summer evening, sat out back for a while with a book.

I could have gone for my evening walk but I was tired and lazy. 🚶I did get the camping gear put back in the crawl space so I won’t be tripping on it come the morning. I’ll will want to get the cooler out for Saturday when I do the overnight in Schoharie County. It might be fun to check out the not so Old Blenheim Bridge then besides all the other activities I mentioned earlier.

Tonight will be clear 🌃, with a low of 57 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 18th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 9pm. Calm wind. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 61 degrees. The record low of 41 occurred back in 1963.

Tonight will have a First Quarter with 57% illuminated with the moon setting at 12:43 am. The moon will set at 1:00 am. The First Quarter Moon will be tonight with partly cloudy skies. The Buck Moon 🌝 is next Monday. The sun will rise at 5:26 am with the first light at 4:51 am, which is 43 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 8 hours and 51 minutes of darkness, an increase of one minute and 7 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 86 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 57 at 8am. Should be another nice day. Light northwest wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 92 degrees. The record high of 103 was set in 1936.

Busy day at work. 🏢 But I’m getting caught up on things and I’m figuring it will make the week go fast. Two nights of Pine Bush events coming up followed by me going to John Wolcott house 🏡 for more Albany history files. 📂 Almost done with the project, maybe I’ll end up doing Schenectady next although I don’t know its been a laborous process.

Ordered another, actually two burners for the camp stove 🔥 although I only need to replace one now – oddly enough the one that gets the least use. I figured save on shipping and have the part handy. The old one just rusted through probably from all the liquids boiling over and causing rust plus I may have applied pressure to it causing the rust to lead to cracks. If one fails the second won’t be far away.

In four weeks on August 5 the sun will be setting at 8:10 pm,🌄 which is 24 minutes and 24 seconds earlier then tonight. Summer vacation will just be a distant memory then. In 2018 on that day, we had hot, humid, sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 90 and 63 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 82 and 61 degrees. The record high of 99 degrees was set back in 1955.

My summer vacation is in two weeks. ⛺ Finger Lakes for the first half of the week then I want to camp in Allegany County in the state forest were the Harry Women of Canasserga hang out, do a day trip to Letchworth State Forest,⛲ camp at Rock City then Allegany State Park and then down to the Alleghany National Forest. 🏊

I am thinking about the week before Columbus Day this year for my autumn trip to Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 🍂This year the focus will be on those states, no trips to Virginia, but I’ll probably head farther south in West Virginia to see the big New River Gorge bridge 🌉 on the West Virginia coin. Plus maybe a few overnights in Dolly Sods. Maybe too early for peak color in places but who knows, Dolly Sods is quite high elevation.

Looking ahead, Cow Appreciation Day 🐂 is in 1 weeks, Work Like a Dog Day 🐩 is in 4 weeks, Last Sunset After 8 PM 🌆 is in 5 weeks, National Dog Day 🐩 is in 7 weeks, Labor Day 👨‍🏭 is in 8 weeks and Columbus Day 🛥️ is in 13 weeks.

The Weekend that Was At Moose River Plains

This past long independence Day Weekend I went up to Moose River Plains. Some observations and notable things from the weekend that was — I’m going to post additional pictures and stories later.

Wednesday

I got to leave work early on Wednesday around 3 PM, so I was home by 3:30 PM on the road by 4 PM.
Deciding that the traffic would be bad at that hour on all expressways, I decided to shun the main roads for the blue highway.
I took State Farm Road (NY 155) to US 20 West to Duanesburg Church Road past Mariaville Farm to NY 30 to Indian Lake then out to Cedar River Road.
Driving past the Mariaville Farm, I was noticing how many hogs they had in a barnyard near their home. And I saw a hog taking a piss — they pee like cows. Farming is great but I think I’d want more distance my house and livestock.
I still need to visit For the Love of Bacon. It’s just off of the first exit of Interstate 88, I have no excuse not to.
Google Maps estimates that the trip via the Northway at normal traffic would take 2 hours and 20 minutes, my shun-pike way took about 3 1/2 hours, although the Northway with delays was looking closer to 3 hours when I checked on Wednesday evening.
That said it was worth it because I really hate driving on the expressway.
I thought I heard a noise driving up to Moose River Plains that had me a bit worried, turned out just to be strap on the kayak flapping around.
Made it to Cedar River Flow by 7:30, took some pictures at the flow and signed in.
There are new entrance signs. They say you should call for a camping permit for all stays over three nights even if you plan to camp at a different part of the plains. I think that’s silly and not consistent with the regulations – I stayed four nights but at two different sites.
I wouldn’t object to getting a camping permit but it’s a pain to play phone tag with the ranger when you should be able to do it online.
As soon as I stepped out of the truck I realized what a buggy weekend it was going to be with a shit ton of horse flies
The first night I camped at campsite 26 which is a little ways up from the Silver Run. Nice night, but buggy until it got dark.
It was nice to leave work early and not have to set up in the dark. Kept my campsite simple as I planned to break camp early and get a site I really liked around the Moose River so I could walk to a swimming hole from camps.
I bought some wood at Quinzal’s on Cedar River Road on the way up and had a good fire with that plus some wood I found in the woods.
Stayed up late until around midnight, drank a lot of beer, listened to some podcasts and music until around midnight.

Independence Day

The next morning I got up probably too early, stumbled around and took down camp. Headed straight toward the Big T, hoping to find a campsite near water in the plains where I could swim.
I ended up choosing campsite 94 which was a short walk to the Moose River Bridge which at the time I set up had no near neighbors
It was a nice site, open and airy but well screened and set back from the road. Had a nice new outhouse and picnic table although the fire place was in rough shape.
Deer flies were nasty.
I tried sitting and reading in my hammock and despite being covered from head to toe in a mixture of Picardin, DEET and PMD it only limited them a bit.
Another family on Independence Day took the campsite across the way – a good working class family and they had a pretty wild party up at Moose River Plains on independence Day with lots of country music, fireworks and alcohol.
Independence Day was hot and buggy, the deer fly were so bad for a while I left hammock and took a nap in my truck with the fan blowing.
Despite napping in my truck a deer fly got inside and bit my lip while napping. It hurt like a mother. I almost thought about taking down camp and heading home.
I eventually strapped on my bathing suit and went down to the Moose River to cool off for a few hours.
Finished one book started another one. Very pleasant laying in the hammock after dark .
Did a night hike to Icehouse Pond and it was nice but buggy.
Had a decent size fire, lit off some small fireworks

Friday

Friday I hiked back to the Beaver Lake. Been a long time since I’ve been back there. Not many fish biting with the heat.
Beaver Pond at least had a steady breeze that limited the horse flies but it was hot.
That said while I was down by the lake I got bit by a horse fly and my ear got swollen.
I forgot how enormous that
Hiked back to camp then back into the Moose River to cool down.
In the evening I hiked down Otter Brook Road to the Sly Pond Trailhead.
Laid out on the Moose River Bridge for about an hour looking at the stars
It was pretty laying back in the hammock watching the stars and my laser light show on the trees above how the light scattered and was beautiful.

Saturday

Saturday was a bit more stormy with lots of clouds but only a few showers
I had plenty of electricity despite the lack of sun for most the day
I did more reading, laid in the hammock, wrote some blog posts and listened to podcasts
Disassembled my camp stove and determined it was the burner unit is where the leak is and needs to be replaced.
I went to Moose River to swim for a few hours, listening to podcasts.
Didn’t gets lot of rain but most of the day was cloudy. Certainly not the heavy rains of Albany.
Went back to Icehouse Pond to fish around dusk
Sat out on the Moose River Bridge watching the stars into the wee hours of the morning. Much clearer tonight no light pollution

Sunday

Sunday I broke camp modestly early although I proscastinated a bit as I wanted to top off the starting battery with solar so it would be healthy to start the truck.
Ended up deciding Stillwater was too far away to hike the Fire Tower so decided to paddle Moss Lake.
Not a really big late, lots of noise pollution from Big Moose Road and crowds, wouldn’t paddle again and caught nothing.
I wish I had done something different but I felt like I should use the kayak having brought it.
Headed home shunning the interstates again, taking NY 28 through Old Forge to Remsen then Middleville and NY 169 to Little Falls to NY 5S and then decided to take NY 152 through Rural Grove down to NY 20 and home. Slower than the Thruway but I like seeing all the farms along it.

July 2, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Two weeks to Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆. A few sprinkles of rain and 72 degrees as I head downtown on the CDTA 18. ☔I thought about bringing my umbrella but I decided against that. There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. The skies will clear around 11 am.

I picked up my dry cleaning so hopefully that will be good for another six months as I don’t wear my dry cleaning much off session. PERC is nasty stuff but it does a good job for dry cleaning. 👔And I have no complaints about my dry cleaning except that it’s expensive and a pain to drive down there. I know they have a dry cleaner at the Empire Plaza but I’ve never used them. I lost one of the pads on my earphones 🎧 but I have an additional ones at home, but it’s still annoying.

Today will have a slight chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Partly sunny 🌦, with a high of 85 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 65 at 4pm. West wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It was humid. The high last year was 97 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1966.

The sun will set at 8:36 pm with dusk around 9:11 pm, which is 10 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 79 degrees. The dew point will be 65 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. Today will have 15 hours and 14 minutes of daytime, an increase of 43 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have patchy fog after 5am. Otherwise, partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 64 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 65 at 6pm. West wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It became very sticky as the night progressed. It got down to 74 degrees. The record low of 44 occurred back in 1978.

Tonight I have to go shopping and get packed for the weekend up at Moose River Plains. Seems like it’s coming fast, with my plans to leave after work tomorrow. 🏕 It would be nice to leave before 5 PM but I don’t know how likely that is. While I’m hesitant to bring the kayak, as I don’t know how much I’ll use it, once I get set up at camp the second day, I can take it off so I can take advantage of the solar power. I hope to be set up by 10 PM tomorrow for the first night, and then break camp early and head to the site I will camp at for the rest of weekend.

On this day in 1962, The first Wal-Mart store opens for business in Rogers, Arkansas. 🏪 I bet Arkansas is a fun state to live in, very inexpensive Two years later, President Johnson would sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on the same day. 👊 Probably unrelated events.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, a chance of showers, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 89. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Maximum dew point of 70 at 11am. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 85. Maximum dew point of 63 at 6am. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 8:30 pm with dusk at 9:03 pm. On that day in 2018, we had hot, humid, mostly sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 96 and 69 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 83 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1900.

July 1, 2019 Night

Good evening! Partly clear and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a west-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees. Pretty nice summer evening for sure.

I decided rather than go down to the park with a book tonight 📖 I would just sit out back. It turned out to be a pretty nice evening and I got a lot of reading done from that FDR book I posted earlier in the evening. I’ve been very fascinated with FDR ever since reading Richard Hofstadter essay, well chapter called “The Patrician as Opportunist”, from his book The American Political Tradition. FDR wasn’t only a support president, he was a ruthless politician, and much of what he did was centered around his own political advancement. By no means was he an ideologue. It’s clear that his polio only made him stronger. ✊

I went for my evening walk 🚶 and then sat out back for a while and read a bit more. Got more moo juice 🐮 at the store so I’ll have it with coffee ☕ tomorrow. I have to pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow although I forgot to get cash today but I think they take cards 💳 and that’s an option with a $37 dry cleaning bill. I did two sportscoats and my overcoat so shit adds up. Dry cleaning is expensive, as all the mitigation and clean up from the spilled PERC they use in dry cleaning is expensive. Most dry cleaners when they close become superfund sites, although most newer dry cleaners are switching to frozen carbon dioxide or other chemicals to replace the PERC. 👔

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 61 degrees at 5am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around July 3rd. Maximum dew point of 59 at 10pm. West wind around 5 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It was very sticky. It got down to 77 degrees. The record low of 40 occurred back in 1978.

Tonight will have a New Moon with 0% illuminated. The moon will rise at 5:07 am. The New Moon will be tonight with partly cloudy skies. The Buck Moon 🌝 is in 2 weeks. The sun will rise at 5:21 am with the first light at 4:47 am, which is 32 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 8 hours and 45 minutes of darkness, an increase of 41 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers before 10am. Partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 84 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 64 at 4pm. Light and variable wind becoming west 5 to 7 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It was very sticky. The high last year was 97 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1966.

After work tomorrow I’ll pack for Moose River Plains. ⛺ It should be a nice quiet weekend once I’m up there and get things set up, although I’ll probably camp on the east end on Wednesday night and then camp farther west the final three nights. I also need to go shopping for food as once I’m up north the options are limited and expensive. Beautiful wild country. I’m hoping by the second day to have camp set up and be able to walk everywhere I need from there. 😴

I shared that article earlier in the day on why one person chose to leave Upstate New York. ✋ While liberals will dismiss it as republican propaganda, and I agree it focuses to much on the incumbent governor ignoring the long standing practices of the republicans that once dominated the legislature and the governorship for many years, I do see why many people would choose lower cost, freer states to live in compared to New York. Our state is great if you live in the metropolitan areas or benefits from the many services offered by state for the disabled, elderly, young or poor but for many others it’s kind of a raw deal. It’s a wonderful state to live in – for example – if you child has cebral pausy or you have a wheelchair to get around – compared to red states. 👶 Rural life in New York is basically one work around after another with laws that kind of fit badly for upstate. 🚜 I know upstate legislators try but New York City lies large over the rest of the state.

In four weeks on July 29 the sun will be setting at 8:18 pm,🌄 which is 18 minutes and 9 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 81 and 61 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 82 and 62 degrees. The record high of 97 degrees was set back in 1894.

June 28, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is Dog Days of Summer 🌻. Mostly sunny and 68 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. Calm wind. The dew point is 61 degrees. Not a half bad morning and I was able to make it to the express bus 🚍 on time despite having to run to Stewart’s to get milk this morning. 🐮 Got have the cow juice to have good coffee and a good morning. Not a big thing getting milk, but it adds 10 minutes to my morning, and I’m always running tight because I’m not a real morning point.

Last night was the Save the Pine Bush Hike 🌲 and it was a beautiful evening, with mostly clear skies, mild but not too humid. We hiked the large yellow trail in the Karner Barrens past the landfill and Thruway, the wetlands and restored area, spending about a half hour after dusk ✨ looking up at the stars from overlook dune. It was a three mile hike but we managed to stretch it out for almost three hours, I wasn’t back to my truck until nearly quarter to ten. But it was a beautiful summer night.

Going to be a another warm summer day. It will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 87 degrees at 5pm. Six degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 61 at 8am.

On this day in 1896, An explosion in the Newton Coal Company’s Twin Shaft Mine 🚂 in Pittston, Pennsylvania results in a massive cave-in that kills 58 miners. 💣 Also in 1969, Stonewall riots begin in New York City, marking the start of the Gay Rights Movement. Lots of explosive things happening on this day in history.🏳️‍🌈

Tomorrow will have showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly between 8am and 3pm. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 82 degrees at 5pm.

Based on Saturday’s forecast, I am inclined to stay in town this weekend, 🏠 and maybe work on repairing the table on Saturday and testing out the camp stove a bit more. I might also want to shop and start packing for the long Independence Day Weekend — probably heading up to Moose Plains but I could change my mind. I could still go out to Schoharie on Saturday for an overnight if it turns out to be exceptionally nice, but I have my doubts.

I am almost thinking about heading up to Piseco-Powley Road for the long weekend, but the thing is it would be four nights, so I’ll have to move to a different campsite for the second half of the week unless I get a camping permit — which might be to late to do at this point. With Moose, I’d drive up to Mason Lake on Wednesday night then camp in plains Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 🏕 The potholers might be a lot of fun if it’s hot and sunny — there are swimming opportunities at Moose Plains but I’d rather do the potholers then swim in the somewhat marginal Moose River. That said, I can go up to Piseco-Powley Road almost any hot summer weekend, so why spend my Independence Day Weekend somewhere boring?

Looking ahead to Sunday, a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 8am. Partly sunny, 🌤 with a high near 74. West wind 8 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

June 26, 2019 Night

Good evening! Clear, fairly muggy at least inside and 72 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 62 degrees.

I finally broke down and hooked up the fan this evening, it makes it much more pleasant in bed. That said the fan is noisy and a bit expensive to run at 60 watts an hour at high so I may turn it off later. 🍃

I reassembled the camp stove and I think it’s working fine but I need to experiment more with that one burner 🍳. I think the problem was a loose connection and maybe crud in the burner, I cleaned and oiled well with WD 40 and carburetor cleaner. I lit it and it smoked and smelled from the cleaner so I’m going to let it evaporate more before I test it out more.

They had cheese on sale at Hannaford for a good price so I made Marconi and Cheese for dinner. 🍛It was good but cooking it made it even hotter in my apartment. Working on the stove after dinner in the kitchen really got me sweating 😰 for sure. After that I went for my evening walk 🚶, sat out back for a while before retiring to bed.

I could change my mind on Saturday morning if it’s really nice but I’m planning on staying in town this weekend, ⛺ but next Wednesday after work I’m leaving for a long Independence Day weekend probably at Moose River Plains. I do want to try to patch up the table with all purpose bondo and maybe test the camp stove out and do some further cleaning and decreasing of the camp stove.

I don’t have a television 📺 so no I’m not watching the Democratic Presidential debate. It’s good to discuss the issues and I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the morning on the news – in a nutshell. Still a long ways until the presidential primary in New York and I don’t expect to get involved except for voting. ☑ Certainly not making the trip to New Hampshire to volunteer for any candidates. I’ll probably vote Democratic in 2020 for the White House but I’ll have to see who the nomanee ultimately is and how Trump is doing at his job at that point. Despite all the complaining and obnoxious tweets between the strong economy, affordable gasoline, available 22 ammunition, and just generally good times it’s hard to object to the status quo. Maybe we are ignoring future threats like the deficit and climate change but I doubt the democrats will have much action on that either. 🌎

June 24, 2019 Night

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 72 degrees in Delmar. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 59 degrees. Certainly feels warmer than that in my bedroom that lacks air conditioning. The skies will clear tomorrow around 5 pm.

It was warm in my bedroom and I was tired so I took a nap when I got home. I disassembled the camp stove trying to find the propane leak on the burner. 🔥 Not a where the leak is but I may end up replacing the burner as I noticed the pan around the one burner is rusted out and maybe negative pressure is sucking propane into the bottom of the stove stove. I don’t think it’s just a loose connection. I’ll price out a burner on Ebay and Amazon tomorrow. Still debating on how to fix the table, I like the melted plastic option – recycling old milk bottles but I’m not sure if I can heat the plastic without accidentally burning it. I also don’t want to wreck a pan melting the plastic in it and then not be able to scrape it out. Bondo is another option, although I heard you need a speciality plastic filler and thick Bondo often cracks. Melted plastic is more durable and it reuses trash that I’ve already paid for. A fiber glass and epoxy patch is another option.
