Good evening! Mostly clear and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 55 degrees. 🌆

A nice night. 🌌 Even a bit warm at least inside. I am getting packed and ready to head to the Adirondacks before work in the morning and will spend the work day in Spectulator. ⛺ Should be a nice colorful autumn weekend 🍂 with temperatures in the mid 70s even up north.

Should be a great day in the Adirondacks. 🌲🌲 🐦 🦉 Looking forward to working from that park up by Lake Pleasant and the library up there and then setting up and having a nice campfire ⛺ come evening. It does get dark early this time of year so I should think whether or not I need to buy firewood 🌳 on the way up there, less than 50 miles from my destination.

Dropping off paper 📄 to the recycling dumpsters at the Park and Ride, ♻ I saw that the town will be discontinuing the paper recycling service come October. I guess I will have to start going to the transfer station more regularly. It’s probably good to be making more regular trips, I should be recycling more plastics and getting rid of accumulated broken shit. 🗑 Yes, I can probably use some of the paper to start campfires but it seems like so much trash is paper or cardboard. 🔥 🌲 I can’t wait until I own land out in country and can just burn it or use it for livestock bedding but truth be told, paper doesn’t burn that great and leaves a lot of ash and residue.

In four weeks on October 21 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (256°) at 6:03 pm,🌄 which is 47 minutes and 7 seconds earlier then tonight.
