And then I was done with an * And now my thoughts are beach baby, beach. 🏖

It will be a great summer. That is if it ever warms up again and the legislature doesn’t come back for a, summer session which will happen at one point or another. Okay, today will be in the low eighties but they’re talking about highs in the 60s and 70s for mid June. I don’t think we’ve had a real hot and muggy day yet this year. Hit ninety a couple of times but with very little humidity. Then again I’m not as well insulated as I once was.

Good morning! Partly cloudy and 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ Calm wind. The dew point is 52 degrees.

It’s a pretty nice morning. 🌅 I’m out walking 🚶 as usual, have a pot of red kidney beans on the stove simmering down. 🍲 I was actually studying all the different types of beans they have at the store including some of the soup mixes. I’ll have to do some bean soup come the winter, especially if I avoid too much salt and fats in it. Legumes are so healthy and the nature of beans is they fill you up quickly and keep you full all day.

Yesterday I worked from home the bulk of the day 💻, it was just a lot of waiting around for Committee Agendas and calendars to be released, checking votes and responding to miscellaneous emails 📧. It’s all time I can use next week for going to the Adirondacks. ⛺ In the afternoon I went down to the library 📚 both to work and get books out. I got some books out on bicycle repair 🚲. Then I came home, had dinner and got groceries. 🏪

I got a good night’s sleep 😴 last night not rushing out this morning. Planning on banana – oatmeal pancakes 🥞 🍌 this morning with coffee ☕ after I get done walking and get milk 🥛 at Stewart’s. I’m going to get a gallon of skim milk this time as I want to make sure I’m getting enough calcium and vitamin D in my diet plus I’m heading out camping 🏕 on Thursday for the long weekend. Plus I have a free half gallon card this week.

Today I’m heading out to the Gas Up with dad 🚜 which should be fun as the last time I went was before the pandemic. I’m sure things haven’t changed that much. But should be fun. Then I have to start getting ready for the upcoming work week and heading out of town for camp. ⛺

The self-immolation would be captured on film and would go around the world 🔥 . On the same day, John F. Kennedy addresses Americans from the Oval Office proposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that propsed equal access to public facilities, end segregation in education and guarantee federal protection for voting rights. ⚖

It’s unofficially summer 2023 🏖

Heading up to the mid 90s by mid-week to kick off dairy month then cooling down by the weekend after thunderstorms on Friday. But in the mean time beautiful weather for the work week and that freshly cut hay smells amazing.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Sunny and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

Out walking 🚶 bright an early right around 6 o’clock 6⃣ but truth he told with the sunrise this early these days it ain’t that early. I have my doctors appointment at 8:30 and I plan to walk there after breakfast and a shower 🧑‍⚕️🩺 so I wanted to make sure I had sufficient time this morning. Health-wise I feel great but I figured getting checked out isn’t a bad thing especially as it’s free and I’m doing a lot more exercise and healthy activity.

I’m thinking today would be a good morning for eggs, spinach and feta 🍳 to start out the day with a good punch. I also found some younger garlic mustard in the woods I foraged that I want to add to the meal 🍴. With summer and eating healthy I’m going to try to forage more food. It’s surprising how much is out there if you look. 👀 Wild Juneberries soon are a delicious treat. 🍓 Soon!

I’m heading out of town this weekend 🏕 but how far I go is yet to be decided. Hammock Camping offers more options close to home. I’ve thought about paddling Lilly Lake in the Adirondacks or maybe Rensslearville State Forest and spending at least one night hammock camping at the new Hillcross Parcel to watch the stars over the Catskills from the pond.

Memorial Day Weekend, Day Two 2023 🇺🇸 ⛺ 🌲

While it would have been nice to get out of town for the Memorial Day Weekend, I’m enjoying the light breeze camping in the back country of Cole Hill, eating good healthy and delicious meals cooked over the fire and enjoying the light of a fire, the moon and candles in the evening. I’m sure if I had gone to the Adirondacks I would have been dealing with a lot more black flies to say nothing of the long drive, traffic and probably not getting my dream campsite. Onwards to Juneteenth Weekend, lol.

Good morning! Happy Sunday. Sunny and 68 degrees at the Cole Hill State Forest. 🌞 Calm wind. The dew point is 46 degrees. Warming up quickly after a somewhat cool night. I probably could have used another blanket for hammock camping last night.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 82 degrees at 4pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 24th. Maximum dew point of 47 at 11am. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 8 mph in the afternoon. That breeze is nice and it’s not expected to be real humid. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, which became cloudy by afternoon. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 2016. I think that year I was camping in the Green Mountain National Forest and spending much of the day at the beach at Grout Pond. There was a dusting of snow in 1902.❄

I took my bike to Downtube and they told me that they didn’t think it warranted a professional rebuild 🚲 due to numerous components needing replacement to get it up and running well. They were more than happy to show me the latest 2023 models which run about $800 after tax and destination charges, but suggested my bicycle might still be a fun project to rebuild myself even if there are some components – namely the gas suspension which is bad and will fail catastrophically at some point in the future. They pointed me in the direction of the Albany Bicycle Rescue which offers free classes on bicycle repair on Tuesday.

Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until the Gas Up Day 2 🚜 when the sun will be setting at 8:35 pm with dusk at 9:08 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 78 and 50 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 78 degrees. We hit a record high of 94 back in 1947.

Shift it down into overdrive ⚙

It’s now just coasting to the weekend, or so I tell myself. The hill has been climbed, now it’s just coasting to five o’clock. And next weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, which the black flies want you to know is a three day weekend.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Mostly sunny and 48 degrees ☀ in Delmar for the morning walk. There is a south breeze at 11 mph. 🍃.

I hear that summer is coming 🏖 though lately there has been very little evidence of that lately. That said, things may get warmer for the Memorial Day Weekend though not by much. When summer finally arrives though I’m betting it will get hot.

I was thinking 💭 about eggs this morning 🥚 as I had too many carbs yesterday but I think with time limitations 🥣 and because I want eggs tomorrow I’m going to reheat the remaining barley and quinoa I have cooked in the refrigerator and serve with blackberries and cherries 🍒 this morning. 🥣 May add a little honey 🍯 just because otherwise the quiona is too bitter. Then some carrots 🥕. Tomorrow eggs 🍳 I’m thinking. I’ll make sure to limit carbs at lunch and dinner. Maybe I’ll crack open that other can of mackerel 🐠 or tuna with dinner and serve with kale to boost my omega 3 levels and vitamin absorption. Also need to use up more of the peppers 🫑🌶️ in the refrigerator they’re getting dried out a bit. I do make frozen spinach and especially kale 🥗 too big of a portion of my diet but it’s easy and cheap source of healthy fiber though I do need to mix it up more. Overdoing kale is better than overdosing on sugars and fats I tell myself.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 72 degrees at 4pm. Typical for today. Maximum dew point of 48 at 12pm. South wind 11 to 17 mph.

Yesterday was busy and I was tired 😴 by the end of the day but I still got 9.2 miles in by the end of the day. Caught the express bus 🚍 both ways, made up and eat too much brown rice 🍚 and red lentils, as its super dense but tried to make up for it by having lots of kale, tomato 🍅 and onions with the small slice of chicken 🐔 breast I had for dinner. I’ll cut back further on the carbs today. It’s about averages.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 67.1° from the due south horizon (-3.7° vs. 6/21).

I would like to walk 🚶 ten miles today but it’s going to be difficult as I have to probably do work this evening and pick up the Save the Pine Bush display from Lynne Jackson in the city after work. 🗒 Those committee agendas keep coming later and later into the weekend. 🤯 It’s fine, I need the comp time for summer but still it will lead to a very busy evening.

Tomorrow will have showers likely, mainly after 3pm. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 66 degrees at 12pm. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 1st. Maximum dew point of 57 at 2pm. South wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Not the nicest day possible for the Lupine Festival 🦋 but not a total washout. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 79 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1962.

Looking ahead to Sunday, mostly sunny, ☀ with a high near 73. Northwest wind around 11 mph. Maximum dew point of 50 at 8am. Typical average high for the weekend is 73 degrees. That should be a nicer day. Looking at minimum at Bennett Hill before seeing the folks, might also do an early morning hike to Five Rivers 🐦 – and I mean early like 5 AM – and maybe an evening hike up Blodgett Hill then get groceries for the week at Wally World.🛒

I wasn’t going to head out of town for the holiday weekend ⛺ but with the warming trend and potentially sunny hot weather, I could be persuaded elsewise. 🤷‍♂️ Hammock Camping is more likely but I could consider the Spectulator area especially if I have to spend part of the week remote working. 💻 That said I don’t like the black flies and summer isn’t that far away. I’d still almost prefer though to wait for the following week when work is less and the woods is quieter. 🌲🌲But sometimes plans change.

I’m back to thinking 💭 about the Finger Lakes National Forest for summer vacation 🏊‍♂️ mostly because I’m thinking of all the trails and flat land up on the hump between the lakes for bicycle 🚲 riding. Plus lots of opportunities to fish 🎣 and the ease of setting up camp ⛺ for the week and nearby groceries at Watkins Glen. 🍏 It was fun paddling Seneca Lake on calmer days. 🛶 And doing the Black River Valley to camp and hunt come the autumn rather than West Virginia.

One month 📅 from now the Average High is 80 when the sun will be setting at 8:37 pm with dusk at 9:11 pm. Basically almost summer at that point, I should spend it at the House Pond campsite. ⛺

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 🤯

I’ve been doing this long enough that I know when give it a little gas and ease off the clutch I’ll be moving forward and before long be pulling that lever back into second and it will be Friday before you know it. That said I’m primarily thinking about Juneteenth weekend spent at the House Pond campsite swimming hole.

Sunny and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. I don’t know it feels cold but I’m always cold these days now that I’ve lost some body fat with the lower R value. But it’s also good because fat in the body organs like your heart ♥ muscle 💪 is so bad. It can’t be that cold intolerant though as Saturday night slept in hammock with just a little blanket.

Regardless of what I might think of the weekend that was, it was a productive one 🔧. The tire is back on the truck, my pantry stocked, walked twelve miles yesterday including five miles on Cole Hill State Forest and seven miles out to Bender Mellon Preserve. Got the work that needed to be done 💻 from home. Hammock camped.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 73 degrees at 4pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 20th. Light southwest wind becoming west 8 to 13 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, which became partly cloudy by afternoon. It was humid. The high last year was 82 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1900.

I made the best tasting whole wheat pasta salad 🥗 yesterday with the kale and mackerel. Much more filling then traditional pasta salad with the empty carbohydrates and fat of white pasta and mayonnaise. Mackerel is high in omega 3 fats that more than enough replaces the need for mayonnaise and helps with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins and minerals, including those in the fiber and vitamin rich kale. I know eating kale is a yuppie thing but it’s remarkably nutritious and tasty. Plus I can mock Keto math that subtracts fiber from carbs but it’s impossible to question the benefits of fiber.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 66.2° from the due south horizon (-4.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:30 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (290°). 📸

Not sure how late I’ll be stuck in the office 🏢 this week, but it should be a good week weather wise. ☀ Cool on Wednesday. Tomorrow I need to pick up my suit jackets at the dry cleaning before work, dry cleaning has gotten expensive these days. 🕴️ Leave my truck at the Delaware park and ride. Maybe after work stop at Hannaford and pick up a few missing groceries – so far no fat vanilla yogurt is the only thing on that list 📃 and that is more of a luxury then a necessity. I like a few times a week to drizzle yogurt on frozen fruit as a sugary treat after the evening walk, especially on hot days. 🚶 But I know the added sugar of the vanilla yogurt is rather bad even if I use it sparingly and a container typically last me a month before it’s used up and put in the garbage to be burnt. Lol.

The sunset is in the west-northwest (297°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:11 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 8:42 pm, which is one minute and 3 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:24 pm. At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 65 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 40 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 5 seconds over yesterday.

I am hoping to get home early enough, that I have time to walk down at the park. 🏃 It gets difficult this time of year, but maybe I’ll get some steps in at lunch time. I would like to have in at least 9 miles by the end of the day. Need to get to the bank 🏦 so I can have cash to pick up my suit jackets tomorrow. 🕴️

April 9, 2023 Night

To imagine I was angry that I forgot to buy tofu this week while shopping. 🛒

I realized how much I’ve changed in my forties. I’ve always been a bit on the dour side of things but I can’t imagine half the ways I’ve changed in my forties. The world is changing quickly but so am I too.

Good evening! Clear 🌃 and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Just saw a shooting star 🌟.

That shooting star was bright as it burned on up in the atmosphere. 💫 Things are changing in the world today 🌎, although not all things are bad like the preservation of the lands off Cheese Hill Road as forever wild as an addition to Rennselearville State Forest. Found some more ticks on me after exploring more of the Hillcross Farm Parcel but I think I got them all off. 🐜

Tonight will be clear 🌃, with a low of 28 degrees at 5am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 23rd. Calm wind. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 36 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1974.

I was thinking once it warms up and gets green out, I want to hammock camp ⛺ at the Hillcross Farm Parcel, now that it’s state land and sit down by the pond one summer evening and look at the stars over the Catskill Mountains.

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 84% illuminated. The moon will rise at 11:48 pm. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Wednesday, April 26. The darkest hour is at 12:58 am, followed by dawn at 5:56 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:25 am in the east (79°) and last for 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 41 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:03 am with sun in the east (85°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 49 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 49 seconds over last night.

Going to be a very mild week coming up, 🌸 first real preview of spring. Should be nice, so excited about sleeping with the windows open but not until tomorrow night. 🔳 Now that the evenings are longer it will be nice in the park, 🏞 to say nothing about sitting out back.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 65 degrees at 4pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 27th. Calm wind becoming northwest around 6 mph in the morning.

Tomorrow my truck gets serviced 🔧 with a whole bunch of stuff due for 100k. It’s running decently well this year and I want to get more years out of it if at all possible. 🛻 Going to paint or at least prime over the really rusted parts of the undercarriage and wheel wells probably next weekend.

Already giving a little thought about my next vehicle, once again thinking about a small car or Prisus for easier parking 🅿 and saving money on longer trips but mostly because I don’t want to spend a fortune on a new vehicle and may want to switch over to more tent camping and backpacking as my health improves. 🏕 Big trucks are so expenses these days, or maybe I’ve just grown more cost sensitive in my advanced age. Priorities in your forties are different and a decade really is just a blink of an eye 👁‍🗨.

In four weeks on May 7 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (294°) at 8:03 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 48 seconds later then tonight.

Good morning! Mostly sunny and 29 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 1.5 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️

Got a fairly early start this morning 🌅 to walk out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center to embrace as much of the time change as much as possible. I don’t want to get into the habit of sleeping in 🛏 but continuing to get up early and doing my walk. Plus it’s a nice morning with a giant sunrise about a half hour after I started my walk at 6:45 after having a good pan 🍳 of eggs 🥚 and lots of vegetables. I’m mostly out of fruit so it was eggs today. Little less healthy then recent days but I’ll get plenty of steps today. 👣

I figure it’s best to walk early before the woods is soft and muddy, 🌞 as I’m sure the case will be by afternoon. Yesterday afternoon was nicer than expected but I stuck to my plan of going to the library 📚 in the afternoon because with the melting snow and mud it wouldn’t be a good day to go to Five Rivers plus this morning looked so nice.

Today will have increasing clouds ☀ ➡ ☁, with a high of 45 degrees at 4pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 15th.

Red winged black birds 🐦 are out but not in real big numbers yet as are the morning doves 🕊 and red headed woodpeckers. It was early enough this morning that Meads cows 🐮 were all piled up in the cold sleeping and chewing their cud. No spring peepers 🐸 yet though ice is mostly off the ponds at this point.

Maybe snow 🌨 or rain ☔ come Monday night into Tuesday but I think it might be too warm in the city to add up to much. Plus it’s March and if it’s pushing fifty with rain come Friday it will be gone come the weekend. I’m fine with that. I have a family 👪 event to go to next weekend so I can’t get out of town this weekend but maybe the following weekend. My truck is due for service fairly soon – oil change, transmission fluid and tire rotation come April before I start doing any big trips but Rennselearville isn’t too far for a weekend trip.
