Or is it that an owl? I am studying it so carefully, but once we get beyond next week it looks pretty good but things could change, but I’m hopeful. I mean I’ve all but got my truck into drive and heading due to Tucker County. But maybe it will actually happen next weekend.

Good morning! Happy Sunday. Partly cloudy and 50 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a north-northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 7 pm.

Working on some maps 🗺 this morning and then I’ll go for a bike ride 🚲 out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center for a while. Might then bike out to New Scotland and then who knows where. 💨 A bit windy this morning for sure. Decided on a simple breakfast 🥣 of cream of wheat, chia seeds, shredded apple and Greek yogurt. 🍏 With lots of cinnamon and ginger of course. I was up before six this morning and it was super dark like usual and I’m not super motivated this morning. 🤷‍♂️ Nice sunny day ☀ but with the wind, kind of cold.
