We live a lot of our lives on autopilot, moving through daily routines, obligations, or habits. But with a new year comes a new opportunity to pause, reset, and make a change. Once we decide what changes, or resolutions we want to make in the new year, how do we stick with them? We discuss our habits and how we can be successful at sticking to those New Year’s resolutions.
Good evening! Rain showers and 41 degrees on my evening walk in Delmar. Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 4 am. It’s January the fun must end some day, it’s January even as our planet warms.
I didn’t think my evening walk would happen but it did. Rain stopped for a while this evening. Breaking in my new boots which are quite a improvement over what was wearing but they still need some more breaking in to be comfortable. Tomorrow is a swanky dressing day at work so I won’t be wearing my work boots to work. Yeah, I’m white collared despite the kind of YouTube I like to watch with tractors and shit.
Tonight will rain, mainly before midnight, then a chance of showers after midnight. Patchy fog after 9pm. Low of 40 degrees at 9pm. 21 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 20th. Light northwest wind. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. In 2022, we had light snow in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 10 degrees. The record low of -15 occurred back in 1904.
Facebook has decided that I want to buy a farm tractor and been showing me what is available locally. They’re more affordable than you’d think if your looking at the compact to mid-size and not the big monster tractors many of the dairies use. But the hell of it is that I don’t even own any dirt or livestock yet. But like looking at land it’s just for fun. Not this year. Maybe though it’s part of Mission Fifty I’m working on.
Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous Moon with 92% illuminated. At 8 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (122°) at an altitude of 62° from the horizon, some 247,131 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by July 10th. Buckle up for safety! The Wolf Moon is on Friday, January 6. The darkest hour is at 12:00 am, followed by dawn at 6:54 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:26 am in the east-southeast (121°) and last for 3 minutes and 23 seconds. Sunrise is one second later than yesterday. The golden hour ends at 8:12 am with sun in the southeast (129°).Tonight will have 14 hours and 47 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 55 seconds over last night.
Been giving a lot of thought to what I’m calling my Mission Fifty Plan. I decided that I was dissatisfied with 2022, I’m living my life too much like a 25 year old and I really need to change. I need to figure out in more detail what I want my life to look like in ten years when I’m fifty, and build more concrete goals beyond save a lot of money so someday I can own my own land .
It really needs to be a number driven plan, and it shouldn’t be the same thing I’ve been doing all along. I’m making progress on my goals although I’m not sure I fully understand what my goals are. At the same time I don’t want to back slide on all the progress I’ve gotten done so far.
Tomorrow will rain likely, mainly after 5pm. Cloudy , with a high of 41 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 3rd. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became light snow by afternoon. The high last year was 29 degrees. The record high of 64 was set in 1950. 8.8 inches of snow fell back in 2003.
I think I will be able to walk in the morning. Which is nice. Will be dark again though but I will be once again able to get in my steps. I will be dressing up so I will be taking the local bus in so that gives me a little more time in the morning which is nice.
In four weeks on January 31 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (247°) at 5:08 pm, which is 32 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight. In 2021 on that day, we had cold, partly sunny and temperatures between 17 and 7 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 33 and 15 degrees. The record high of 58 degrees was set back in 1913.

The Gulf of Mexico has a a large number of offshore oil and gas wells connected to the mainland by a welter of pipelines. The Biden administration, through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, plans to issue leases in two areas of the Gulf of Mexico for offshore wind development next summer. One is about 91 miles off Lake Charles, Louisiana and the second is 29 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas. Lake Charles is home to many oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and fertilizer factories, which have made it one of the most polluted cities in the US and a major contributor to carbon emissions.
Fossil Fuels & Offshore Wind The fossil fuel industry has heard about offshore wind. In fact, many of the techniques used to drill for oil and gas at sea can be also be used to build offshore wind installations. It has also heard that there are plans afoot around the world to co-locate electrolyzers on those offshore wind platforms to make hydrogen from the electricity they produce. And hey, you know what? That hydrogen can be piped ashore using the existing pipeline network, where it can be used in many of the industrial processes that already exist along the shore of the Gulf to help reduce harmful emissions
Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 4 am.
