Good morning! Happy Saturday. Three weeks to Northern Zone Regular Season 🦌. Bow opened up there on Friday. I have my license 🎫 but no bow permit as I never took the bow class . Mostly sunny and 69 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees.

I am continuing to get ready for my October trip. 🍂 Just lots of little things now but I’m hopeful things should go smoothly. I’m hoping the shop can fix my truck on Monday or Tuesday and I’ll be back in business on that. 🔧 I got to check the oil and maybe just do a quick o through on the gear in there. I ordered more blue jeans from the store 🏬 so I’ll have plenty next week. Might need to run to the bank for cash before I leave next week.

I think I’m going to head out to the Guilderland library for a bit to scan in some of the Crossgates DEIS 💻 assuming they’ll let me bring in the big scanner and use it. I was hoping to have some volunteers but that seems unlikely. That said I think clouds ☁ are expected later on. Maybe I should hike the Pine Bush first? Tomorrow still thinking 💭 about hiking Bennett Hill and visiting my parents. 🚶

Today will have isolated showers and thunderstorms after 3pm. Mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 81 degrees at 4pm. 14 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around August 17th.
