One of the hikes I plan to do this spring or early summer, is to hike back to Dexter Lake from Hall Road. This follows an old woods road and a snowmobile trail, and might be some fun fishing after a day hike. I could go an overnight hammock camping, once black fly season is over, probably camp one night on Piseco-Powley Road, then hike back the next day to Dexter Lake.
Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Best spent in the wilderness. Three weeks to Average High is 70 🐮. Cows and humans like that. Now drink more milk, it smells like the farm down the road from my place had to dump milk again and spread it on the fields. I do love drinking milk.
Partly cloudy and 43 degrees at the Black Creek Marsh WMA. ⛅ Light wind. Stunningly beautiful day, a lot of wildlife to observe today. Finally clearing up after a cloudy start to the morning.
I got up at five AM to drive out to Black Creek Marsh 🐦 to watch wildlife and social distance. The marsh is full of wildlife including wood duck, deer, mink, mocking birds, wood pecker, bluejays and a whiper will. Well worthwhile getting up early, the woods is full of sounds 🔊 although I wish there was a bit more sun but it’s clearing.
Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 62 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 24th. Light northeast wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 2009. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1928.❄
Wonderful spring day. For the balance of the beautiful spring day I’m going to hike at Partridge Run 🚶, observe nature, take pictures then come night fall visit another state forest pitch a hammock and spend the night I think. ⛺ It might be cold by morning but I’ll survive and there aren’t a ton of bugs 🐜 yet.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:54 pm with sun having an altitude of 60.7° from the due south horizon (-10° vs. 6/21).

I am impressed how nice my sideburns are looking on my face. ☺ They’ve grown quite wild and thick, one part redneck one part Captain Kangaroo but a little less silly. Makes me feel like a real man 👨. I did trim them a little bit but not that much. When this period of social distancing ends maybe I’ll change my mind although I doubt I’ll be wearing a suit or tie 👔any time soon so it doesn’t matter much.
As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Average High is 70 🐮 when the sun will be setting at 8:12 pm with dusk at 8:45 pm.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is May 1st. Been such a cold spring it’s hard to imagine that next week is May. It’s only just starting to green up in Albany. 🌸 Rain and 41 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a north breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. 0.14 inches of rain is expected before it ends around 4 pm. Not a lot of rain predicted and Saturday will be nice.
Coffee ☕ and wild berry muffins this morning for breakfast. Also cream cheese. It was a pretty decent breakfast not as heavy or labor intensive as making eggs 🍳 like I did yesterday. No birds 🐦 out the window to give the middle finger too. I do get a laugh 😂 out of giving the bird to the birds. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m nuts.
Wish it was nicer out but I really shouldn’t complain much 🌻– I am sure hot and humid days are right around the corner. It will kind of suck this year if state park swimming 🏊 pools are closed because of Coronavirus.

Kind of a dreary day for sure. 💦 April Showers bring May flowers although they’ll be no tulip festival 🌷 this year not that I ever went to that except for tabling for Save the Pine Bush a few years ago. But it’s nice when things green up except of course for the black flies.

Sounds like a remarkably nice spring day. ☀ I have to get early up tomorrow but I should have most of the day to enjoy spending in the woods. 🌿 I’m thinking about hiking in the afternoon and maybe hammock camping ⛺ in a state forest, although it might be a bit chilly and wet by morning. I think the rain is coming early come Sunday.
Looking ahead to Sunday, rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 52. East wind 3 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Typical average high for the weekend is 63 degrees. 💦 Definitely going to be a real dreary day. I’m going to have to get some more videos to watch from the library Wi-Fi and some more data to make up maps.
Paid my rent or actually the bank did 🏦 as next week is May. Hopefully enough of my neighbors are too and my landlord isn’t going bankrupt. 🏡 He does have a nice house over the river but who knows what his cash flow situation is like. I know a lot of out of work people aren’t paying rent. I also had to cancel the double bill for my car insurance – they kindly sent me a second bill for the time period with a later deadline and a reduced payment – but it meant that I cancel that from auto bill pay as I had already paid my bill for the next six months. 💵
I am still waiting on my stimulus check to arrive 💰 but because I didn’t owe or get anything refunded from the federal government this year, I don’t think they have my information on file and the last I checked their website wasn’t working. I was hoping it would come sooner rather than later so I could use it partially to buy index 📇 funds when the market is still cheap. I’m young I’m not phased much about the sluggish performance of the market lately. I do think at some point Coronavirus will kill who it’s going to kill (hopefully not me or loved ones) and then we’ll move forward. Ten years from now I expect the markets to be a lot stronger and then I can buy land. 🚜

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Another week working from home, at least I don’t have to pay a bus fare. 🚍 Probably do make up for it with electricity and other bills though. Two weeks to Arbor Day 🌳. Rain and 56 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Breezy, ️23 mph breeze from the south-southeast 🌬 with gusts up to 34 mph 💨💨💨. The dew point is 53 degrees.

A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 74 degrees. The record high of 87 was set in 1977. 5.5 inches of snow fell back in 1950.❄
Today I need to get to the post office ✉ and the laundromat. 👚 I’m hoping to do that between the driving rain ☔ that is expected later. I also need to get to the grocery store, but I’m trying to put that off for later on a nicer day and combine trip to Aldi with a hike in Rensselaer County. 🍏

I will probably do an overnight or two in the woods should the forecast remain consistent. ⛺ Not necessarily going far away into the rough country although I would like some time up in the woods. I’ll have to give it some thought. My fishing 🎣 license is expiring today, I’ll have to get a new one although I don’t know if I can print one as I don’t have a printer but I can request one online and take my chances – I doubt any one is going to be out checking and even if they are its not the biggest fine ever for not having the tsg on in person especially if you have already purchased the license. 🎫
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Arbor Day 🌳 when the sun will be setting at 7:51 pm with dusk at 8:21 pm.

Good evening! Clear and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Going to be a fairly cold night. I better turn the heat back on.
It was a good day, busy but productive. Visited and hiked in two states. 🚶 Certainly you could say that I practiced a lot of social distancing today in the sense of how many miles I traveled 🚘. I haven’t been to Massachusetts in quite a while, it was nice to go somewhere different for a change. Really just a drive down US 7 and Massachusetts 43 through Williamstown and Hadley, the later more rural and less gentrified. I like farms that are dirty, muddy and with lots of junk and livestock wandering around in the muck.
I actually planning on going to Grafton Lakes for a while but it was such a nice afternoon, why don’t I go a little further. I figured the Taconic Crest Trail would be a less popular than the state park. ⛲ There really wasn’t much crowds, which was really what I was looking for – not just for good health but to seek some solitude. 🙏
I gased up the truck ⛽ and got groceries 🍏. I ended up stopping at the new Shop Rite in North Greenbush. They were remarkably well stocked at least for the products I wanted but I tell you I’m glad I bought toilet paper 🚽 two weeks ago before the nation went Corona Nuts. Ultimately though, I think economic growth and tax revenues are so valuable that a return to normalcy can’t be that far away. 💰 If the stores are closed, they can’t pay rent and businesses can’t pay taxes and states can’t pay doctors or police officers. 🚨 It will be very sad to hear about all the folks dying and hopefully it won’t be too many people I know personally but ultimately time marches on. ♥ Sometimes the good die young.
Also repaired the plug 🔌 on my car laptop charger and tested it out and it’s working great. This is important when I’m working from my truck as the DC charger is much more energy efficient, cutting the load on the batteries and solar panel by 20 percent or more. ⚡ Rather than converting the voltage to 120 volt AC, the car charger uses a DC boost converter to step the 12-15 volts up to 19.5 volts for the laptop. I also picked up a mobile broadband card from work for really shitty days ☁ when I have no choice but to work from home. Also brought home my second laptop charger and my phone cradle as I figured it would be good to have home as nobody knows how long social distancing will last, although I still think it will be economics not healthcare that decides. 💰
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 16 degrees at 6am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around February 10th. North wind around 6 mph. In 2019, we had light rain. It got down to 30 degrees. The record low of 2 occurred back in 1875.
Tonight will have a New 🌚 Moon. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Sunday, April 5. The darkest hour is at 1:03 am, followed by dawn at 6:29 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:57 am in the east (89°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Yeap, we’re past the first day of spring. Sunrise is one minute and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:34 am with sun in the east (95°). Tonight will have 11 hours and 44 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 41 degrees at 5pm. Six degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 9th. North wind 3 to 6 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 43 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 2012. 7 inches of snow fell back in 1887.❄
Tomorrow the priority is first thing to visit the laundromat. 🚿 Got to have clean clothes although that’s less of an issue when I work from Big Red while social distancing. Early on a Sunday morning is less likely to be crowded. Just try to maintain social space. I am not going to my parents house for Sunday dinner 🍲 this week and that’s where I usually do my wash.
Ever since I took more generic Claritin D allergy medicine I a lot feel better 💊 but still I want to stay away from my older parents in case besides my allergies I have a minor case of Coronavirus. 🍳 They really wanted me to stop at the house and drop off eggs that I picked up for them at the store but truth be told, if it’s more than allergic reaction to the mold in my apartment then I don’t want to get them sick and in the hospital, 🏥even just from tossing a case of eggs on their door 🚪 step.
I might also go out to Partridge Run later on. 🚶 It would be nice to spend more time in the woods and get away from it all. I suspect up there if I choose wisely my route I’ll never run into another human being, at least not one who is carrying a gun and doing social distancing for a totally different reason. 🔫 I know people are saying they’re hearing a lot more gun shots in the woods during the weekdays with so many kids out of school and business closed – people are shooting targets 🎯 and probably glass bottles 🍶 and crow season 🐦 is still open.
In four weeks on April 18 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (286°) at 7:41 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 58 seconds later then tonight.

Good morning! Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀! Seems eerily odd quiet with everything being shutdown, well except for the temple of consumerism in the Pine Bush, Crossgates Maul. Three weeks to 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇. Rain showers and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. ❄ There is a south breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 4 am. ☃️
Its funny without the bus ride to work 🚍 I don’t have the time to put together my daily blog posts. But at least I don’t have to get up as early although I will have to figure in some drive time to locations with internet as I’m not going to get internet access for working from home. Some days I will be able to manage to get by without the internet beyond my phone. 📱 My hope is that most of the days when I will need full internet access, it will be sunny and warm so I can work from my truck and my solar panel will keep my laptop charged. 💻 Today isn’t one of those days but hopefully I won’t need full internet access all day and I can run home to charge things.
At least I don’t have a stuffy nose 👃 this morning. I was a little concerned yesterday when I felt really congested but now I’m fine. And even if I do get a cold it won’t matter much as I’m working home.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 40. Typical average high for the weekend is 46 degrees. Sound a bit cool but I’m still thinking 💭 a little bit about heading out of town this weekend. Nobody is going to be around coughing on me in the woods.
🌹🌻🌼Only 2 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼
Been such a mild winter that spring doesn’t seem like all that big of a deal. 🌸 Things should hopefully green up relatively quickly although it’s always slow in the Adirondacks. Then out come the black flies. 🐜

Partly cloudy and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south-southwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 2 am. ☃️
I was super groggy 😴 when I got up this morning but I made it to the bus on time ⌚. Not a hybrid bus 🚍 today. It is such a nice mild morning I thought about walking down to the express but I don’t like doing that in my suit and tie. 👔Bus ride to work is like every other day

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the WordPress app lately 📝 so I haven’t been able to post as much lately. I am also hard at work with the blog revisions, getting the new upload and media engine tested and ready for launch. I also need to keep prepping both the historical images so I have several ready in the can to feature when the time comes.
I am dug around and found the $1,000 I needed to open up an IRA. 👴 I mostly just canceled other planned investments and dipped into my rainy day fund to make it happen. I just got paid so I should be okay. I am going to contribute to the IRA rather than the Roth IRA for the rest of the year to somewhat limit my tax liability. It sucks that I’ll have to pay taxes on withdrawals when I retire but when I have my off grid property it will be in a low tax state so I’m not that worried about it. 🐮
Back in 1972, an airplane crashes in suburban Albany, off Holmesdale Ave in Albany (near Colvin Avenue and Washington Ave). ✈ Regional Carrier, Mohawk Airlines Flight 405 crashes as a result of a control malfunction and insufficient training in emergency procedures. 📙 Also today in 1873, U.S. Congress enacts the Comstock Law, making it illegal to send any “obscene, lewd, or lascivious” books through the mail. And in 1991, an amateur video captures the beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers.
A picture perfect early spring weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 38. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 49. Typical average high for the weekend is 41 degrees. I bet the ground will be muddy in the woods. My weekend is fairly free but I’m not totally sure what my plans are for the weekend. Money is tight so I might stick around town Saturday, hike at Schodack Island buy groceries at Aldis and then Sunday hike at Partridge Run.
