Week Notes No. 44: Daily Bits

By Justin G. on 25FEB24MON

Heading out to Death Valley, so content will be lighter than usual.

Almanac / outlook, Feb 17 to 23

A warming trend. By the weekend it may be breaking the 70 F mark. But, there is a chance of rain on Wednesday.

Sun rising before 7, and setting at almost 6. That’s 11 hours of daylight this week. The Moon is waning, but still gibbous; some light at night.

Day Bits

1. FEB17MON
   • Sweet, sweet day off.
   • Packing for Death Valley backpacking. It will be unusually warm. Not problematically warm, just warmer than anticipated. So, I will bring my least insulated sleeping back.
2. FEB18TUE
   • This warmer weather is so nice. I don’t want to short change necessary winter–we always need the water. But, speaking selfishly, I do enjoy the feeling of warmth, so the break is nice. I hope it’s a break anyway, and we get another couple of storms.
3. FEB19WED
   • Well, that was a day that didn’t let up. Busy busy at work. Running around last minute getting things together for backpacking. I’m supposed to sleep too, aren’t I?
4. FEB20THU
   • Backpacking in Death Valley. In a winter heat wave, so nice temperatures.
5. FEB21FRI
   • Backpacking in DV.
6. FEB22SAT
   • Backpacking in DV.
7. FEB23SUN
   • Backpacking in DV.

Outside Events
