Weather Update – October 14, 2022
Nice weekend ahead. π
I don’t have big plans for the weekend, though I hope to get out and enjoy it doing some hiking in the Pine Bush on Saturday and somewhere else on Sunday. Maybe next week I will head out of town — depends how well Big Red is running and how busy I am. I am thinking Central NY but who knows. It might be rainy and the best chance to get out might be November. Just busy, busy, busy.

Daily Update – October 14, 2022
Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! π
Last nice certainly was wet. But it’s rapidly clearing this morning but things are still dark out early.
Partly cloudy and 54 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. β There is a north breeze at 6 mph. π. The dew point is 51 degrees. The skies will clear around 9 am.
I didn’t think the flu and COVID-vaccine was bad. π Maybe it’s because I’m getting so used to have shots and things injected into my body, but also the needles they use these days are so fine it’s barely a prick. I don’t feel a thing this time — my arms aren’t sore, I don’t feel sick or anything. Really much better with the latest booster compared to before. Maybe it’s because I’m just used to it but I didn’t have any side-effects.
The rain was so heavy π§ when I ran into the store and the pharmacy, and I got completely soaked. Hopefully I won’t get the flu from getting so wet. As soon as I got home I changed into dry clothes and went to bed. Well, after having some dinner from what I cooked up at home. π My pantry was kind of bare, because I avoided a trip to the store to double up with the flu shot. I would have preferred to walk down to the pharmacy, but not in the pouring rain.
I guess we are catching up on the rain, β and it’s nice that it’s not lasting into the weekend. If I wasn’t so darn busy I’d probably think it’s a nice weekend to head out of town. But it’s good I’m going to head up to Colonie and visit Mr. Wolcott and do some hiking in the Pine Bush. π³ Based on the amount of color from my office window, it looks like it’s getting quite pretty outside downtown now.
