Good evening! Partly clear and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 3 am.

Spent some time working on some new maps for the blog. 📝 And fixing and improving some code maybe also watching a YouTube video in the background that I previously downloaded. 💻 I’ve been trying to stay off of the internet more lately, although I did go down to the library for a bit. Also I got to dig through some more government data as I’d like to make more graphs 📊 for the blog in the coming weeks. Wanted to clean the bathroom 🚿 but that didn’t happen nor did I spend much time studying the map of West Virginia in preparation for my vacation in less than three weeks now.

I was going to go out for my evening walk 🚶 but it gets dark early and I’m not that big of a fan of walking after dark these days. I worry a bit about stepping funny in the dark streets especially out back of the high school and injuring my ankle. That would really ruin my trip. Shopping didn’t happen either but I didn’t really need anything right away – I might be able to hold off until Thursday then buy groceries for the weekend before I head up north.

Sounds like a nice day. ☺ I’m still thinking about hiking Windham High Peak tomorrow 🗻 but it depends on how early a start I get. Otherwise I’ll just do Bennett Hill on my way out to my parents house. I like to do at least one mountain now to get the blood pumping each week in preparation for day hikes at Dolly Sods. 🚶

When I was over at my sisters house she has all those big TV 📺 and computers. It’s just not my thing. I do have a fairly big computer monitor but I don’t mind not having internet at home. It makes it easier to code and work without distraction. I have zero interest in all that commercial stuff. Its nice just having that away from home. Saves a lot of money too.
