Good evening! Mostly clear and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. I’m sorry, it’s April so that’s stupid cool. Especially on a starry night like today I wish I could be sitting out back although bundled up the evening walk wasn’t terrible.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌌, with a low of 22 degrees at 6am. 14 degrees below normal. I should probably turn the heat back on but I’m already in bed. Maybe if I get up to take a piss later. Miss sleeping in my truck cap and just flipping down the tail gate when it’s time to pee. South wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 58 degrees. The record low of 20 occurred back in 1874.
Tonight will have a Waning Crescent Moon 🌘 with 24% illuminated. The moon will rise at 4:22 am. The New Moon is on Saturday night with isolated showers then isolated rain/snow. The Pink Moon 🌝 is on Saturday, April 28th. The sun will rise at 6:20 am with the first light at 5:51 am, which is one minute and 40 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 10 hours and 46 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 49 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have isolated showers after 2pm. Increasing clouds 🌞 , with a high of 50 degrees at 4pm. Six degrees below normal. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies. The high last year was 87 degrees. That’s the record. Nowheres near that tomorrow. 1.7 inches of snow fell back in 1942.❄
Got home, worked on some code and watched a video I had saved on my laptop and went for my evening walk. 🎇 Beautiful starry night but cold. I guess I wouldn’t be complaining about this kind of weather by a campfire in November or December but I’m ready for a big thaw.
Despite planning on doing some soldering this evening I just retired to bed early and played on my laptop. 🔬I actually prefer to solder in warmer weather because the fan that blows away the burning flux from the soldering iron gives me a cold shoulder. Without the fan I breathe in too much and get a sore shoulder. I got to get back to working on my various projects but I don’t know I’m often tired and make excuses for not pulling out my soldering iron. I have to admit I like the computer coding for the Arduino and learning about electronics more than the actual physical building of them.
Saturday might be okay but Sunday will be cool and cloudy. 🙁 Saturday, a chance of rain and snow before noon, then a chance of rain. Partly sunny, with a high near 64. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 46 at 7am. Sunday, a chance of rain. Cloudy, with a high near 52. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Typical average high for the weekend is 58 degrees.
Not going to be all that nice of a weekend but I don’t mind because truth have it I expect I’ll be working this weekend. 🏢 I didn’t have any real plans to boot. Maybe some fishing if I ever get my license. 🎣
That last week of April or the first week of May, god willing I’ll be out camping. ⛺ I’m thinking about a three day trip and taking off a Friday and maybe spending some serious time fishing. I really need some good time I’m the wilderness.
Still did not go grocery shopping last night. 🍌I doubt I can avoid the store for the rest of the week but alas I was lazy and I’m avoiding spending money I don’t have. Every penny not spent but instead invested or saved is one towards a better tomorrow, a life in the wilderness, an off grid cabin and lots of land. 🏡 It’s years away but money saved now accumulates interest. But for now I have many nice nights spent in the wilderness camping. I have many great adventures planned or to be planned for the summer. ⛽With gas prices going up its all the more important to save so u have money to pay for my road trips and the normal things consumed during camping.
