Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 39 degrees for the evening walk here in Delmar. ☁ Breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the northwest 🌬 with gusts up to 26 mph 💨💨💨. That wind is a bit cold now that I’m out in the open but earlier didn’t feel real cold. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 2 am. ☃️ With the shit ton of salt on the sidewalks things should be good. If they only had been out earlier I could have done my morning walk 🚶 and actually gotten my steps in.
What can I say, the first half of the week is done. 🐫 It’s nice when it’s a Monday and your out in Madison County. Why can’t all of life be like last weekend? ⛺ Its been a pretty busy week at work 🏢 but I’ve been keeping things moving along. Closed out a bunch of projects 📄 and I only screwed one up today. Soon it will be time for bed 🛏.

With weather like that expected I’m kind of glad I live in the city. 🌃 Not that we ever get much snow in the city but the buses run regardless of the weather. 🚍 I have to admit I’m pretty inexperienced when it comes to winter driving at this point after all these years in the city. I mean I have a big jacked up truck 🛻 but I try to avoid driving it as much as possible in the winter months. That said, it’s mostly just rains in the city, especially as it has warmed so much in the past decade.
