Good evening! Clouding up and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. You could actually see the stars ✨ for a while when I went for my evening walk after going to the library. 🚶 Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around noontime. ☃️

I went down to the library to do some research for Save the Pine Bush. 📚 Quiet at the library because they’ve canceled all community events. Smelled a bit like ammonia from all the cleaning fluid as everything does this day. 😷 Every time you hear a cough you have to cringe a bit. But I think it’s kind of silly. Just got to live your life and if you die, so be it.

I also uploaded that graphic comparison of the routing of the Mid Crosstown Arterial that I find quite fascinating. 🚧 I don’t know about you but I’m very fascinated by dragging the slider back and forth and seeing the comparison. As I explained earlier it’s not difficult to do, once you get things geo referenced. The GIS software does all the hard work. I also have some Google Maps to show but I can’t seem to get my new and improved uploader to work properly with them. I got to play with that broken code more.

Tonight will rain, mainly after 2am. 🌧 Low of 42 degrees at 3am. 18 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 28th. Southeast wind 11 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

I think I’ll open up my windows tomorrow. 🔳 That’s a good thing because I left a gallon of milk 🐮 on the counter top when I went to work and I can still smell the racid milk despite dumping it out. I was very sad 😔 the milk went bad, it’s the first time I’ve done that in years – I didn’t catch it in the morning when I confirmed the stove was off.

In four weeks on April 9 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (281°) at 7:30 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and 13 seconds later then tonight.

The record high of 77 degrees was set back in 1991.

With all this talk about Coronavirus, I’m thinking about a weekend trip to Schoharie County or maybe Madison County with a case of Corona beer 🍻 to enjoy next to a campfire 🔥 for one night of self imposed quarantine. Exposure to natural bacteria and fresh air can be quite healthy. ⛺ Snow is gone outside of the Adirondacks although things might be muddy with the warm weather and rain expected tomorrow. Might be cold with the wind, 🍃 and while I’m not that concerned because everything is wet I don’t want a shit ton of sparks ✨ going everywhere because it’s cold and windy. Pine Bush literature drop I had planned for the weekend has been canceled due to older members concerns about going door to door 🚪 in a community that’s already has a known spread of Coronavirus.

I am thinking of getting a box of plastic bags 🛄 like the grocery stores 🏬 used to have before the plastic bag ban. You can get 1,000 plastic shopping bags for under $20 — they really are dirt cheap and it would be great to carry in case you run low on bags in the store or while camping if I don’t want my reusable bags to get dirty. And then they’re great for camp trash – gone in seconds. 🔥 Goes good with the foam plates I used to use a lot while camping. Fire is more fun and easier than washing. I’ll get the plastic bags by summer. I still have plenty used plastic bags from before the ban.

Looking ahead, Easter 🐰 is a month away and Flower Moon 🌕 is in 8 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 10 weeks remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

I went over to John Wolcott house yesterday and we found some old slides 📷 from the pig 🐽 farm on Rapp Road where Crossgates wants to build 🏢 the apartment complex and Costco. I also got some documentation from him to review. Other than that not a lot of great discoveries 🔎 mostly what I expected.

Hump Day tomorrow and the weekend will be here before you know it. ⛄ It looks like the snow will be gone relatively soon and winter is fading away early. Maybe the Ground Hog was right 🐻after all.

Seems almost certain now that Biden will be the democratic nominee. 👴 And almost as soon as the election is over he will be forgotten. That said, I still think it’s good the democrats are running someone against President Trump as you never really know what can happen during an election.

Mild evening 🌃, enjoyed my evening walk. 🚶 I ended up walking quite a few miles today, visiting a number of preserves and it was a nice day. Always try to spend a lot of time looking at the trees, observing birds 🐦 and wildlife, trying to go through life not too blind to the world around me. Spent a lot of time in the woods this weekend for sure. Even if I don’t travel far there is a lot of nature locally.

Driving 🚘 back through Berne got me thinking how much the hill towns are not unlike small rural towns everywhere. 🐮 Looking at Sauk County Wisconsin over the past week on the YouTube, and thinking back to my trips to West Virginia and Pennsylvania got me thinking how many nice small towns outside of New York I could ultimately settle down in and have a lot more freedom 🆓 than in New York State. Maybe the pasture isn’t greener everywhere but I see the plastic bag ban and these massive but low output solar farms as a sign of what’s to come and it’s not good. The same with the wilderness activists and anti frackers locking 🔒 all our land. To say nothing of more and more suburban track housing and apartment complexes going up everywhere. I miss the small town life I grew up in but I can’t see buying property in New York at this point. Once I don’t have family in New York, I’m towing everything I can out of the state for greener pastures.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 34 degrees at 5am. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 6th.

At 10 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (119°) at an altitude of 44° from the horizon, some 227,258 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀It’s a pretty big moon with a lot of moonlight. Didn’t need the brights on much driving home from the parents house. At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 28^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The darkest hour is at 12:07 am, followed by dawn at 6:51 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:20 am in the east (96°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 42 seconds earlier than today. 🌄 Still dark morning ahead. The golden hour ends at 7:57 am with sun in the east-southeast (102°).

Good evening! Mostly clear and 32 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 8 am. 🌡️

It was a good day, spent a lot of time in the woods walking 🚶, observing nature and so forth. Five Rivers in the morning, Schodack Island in the afternoon. My knees and leg have been a bit achy all day, in part from the cramp in the morning and also I think the Lyme disease 🐜.

Went shopping and got most of the supplies that I needed. 🍏 Probably too many – I shopped at Aldi and Walmart. I didn’t have enough reusable bags when I was in Walmart so I had to kind of overpack one of the bags. 🛄 I think the whole banning plastic bags is so silly but liberals like it. Honestly if when I move to a state with free plastic bags, I’ll be quite happy to use them again and chuck them in the burn barrel with the rest of the burnable trash. 🔥 Probably ventilated with a handgun 🔫 that I wouldn’t need a permit for in a free state. 🆓

I don’t get the need for the plastic bag bans when they’re talking about developing vast areas of land for solar farms. ◻With folks proposing 100 acre and even 1,000 acre solar farms what’s the big deal with sitting a 100 acre landfill that could provide disposal capacity for a region for a half century or more? 🚮OH, and I took my junk mail and waste paper to the recycling dumpster at the Park and Ride. Greeny of the year. ♻ LOL 😂.

I washed Big Red. 🚘 Wasn’t super dirty but I wanted to get the mud off it and residual salt off it before it warms up. Filled up the gas tank ⛽ as gas has come down in price due to everybody’s silly fears of a Corona Recession. Democrats really want a recession so they can replace the president, although nobody serious seems to be advancing in the primary. 🛄

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 19 degrees at 4am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around February 24th.

The record low of -2 occurred back in 1989.

At 9 PM, the moon was in the southeast (129°) at an altitude of 55° from the horizon, some 228,683 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 28^th.
