Good evening! Clear and 52 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 41 degrees. Pleasant evening, maybe a bit cool.

I went out for my evening walk 🚶🏻 a bit early and then sat out back for a while. Starting to get a bit chilly out but will be a nice night for sleeping 😴 although by morning I will be buried under the covers. ⚰ I am glad I turned the hot water heater back on – I think you get a lot cleaner with a hot shower 🚿.

Busy day but I got to the store 🏬 and then to the laundromat 👚 so now I have lots of choices for clean shirts to wear for the rest of the week. I really don’t have as much wash as I wear the same jeans 👖 and often clothes multiple days remote working 💻 as you don’t have to be that clean and nobody cares if you smell sweaty or dirty with remote work.
