I am the office, sorting and loading boxes to take home. The move home is becoming real.
We are again having the type of wind gusts that knocked out power and toppled trees. Hopefully, the damage that could be done, has already been done.
When I got my sore, yelping dog to the vet yesterday, she jumped out of my SUV, wagged her tail, jumped onto the vet's couch, and was all smiles. Of course, the vet found no problem with her. I came home with a happy dog, a handful of pain pills and a $230 bill.

Good morning. Cold and raining here, supposed to be that way all weekend. Today is birdathon, a fundraiser for the Audubon society. Participants submit lists of birds they see this weekend and are encouraged to donate to support the organization. We'll see how the weather dampens enthusiasm..... This guy was in the backyard yesterday. Have a great day folks. Ken, I am just loving your new camera and your Audubon trips.

A cool, but beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning. In other news, the Mexican restaurant where we've been meeting for our Saturday evening Idiot Jam meal, is "temporarily" closed. We'll see. I donβt know whatβs up with that, except that itβs hard to function as a restaurant here without a liquor license which theyβve gone without for quite a while. I like the idea of having restaurants downtown, so I hope something positive happens in that space. Iβm at the coffee shop making my grocery list for the week then itβs off to Fareway to get the shopping done. Off to the Chicago suburbs Friday to visit my friend Jay and his wife. Heβs got two gigs lined up for us, so Iβll be practicing today. I put new strings on yesterday.

Iβm also fond of that bird stuff you are doing, Ken. It sounds like a great thing to do and I bet youβre meeting lots of good people.

Cold and clear. We have a little place in town that makes massive pancakes. Like 18β around. We went and had one of those this morning. After the bloat subsides weβll get a hike in. I set a game cam up on a fresh lion kill a few days so Iβll check the cam and see if we got a video. Wordle 973 3/6 π¨π¨β¬π©β¬ π¨β¬β¬π©π¨ π©π©π©π©π© Im guessing you mean 18β across, not around. Around would be 5.73β across.

New deck just showed up and DaWife is putting it together, she likes to do that so I let her. TV/monitor will be here later today. So my afternoon chore is to get the bedroom/office rearranged and the old desk out.

I have a new love. About a mile from my house is a place called the B-Dale Club, a longtime social gathering spot akin to a VFW hall, with bar, event space, softball diamond, etc.
A few months ago, they welcomed to their kitchen a local BBQ competitor and set him up with a pellet smoker. I finally got around to checking it out this afternoon, and OMG the brisket and pork ribs were as good as I've ever had (outside of Texas), and the beans and mac & cheese were excellent, as well.
Place was packed, as bingo was about to begin, and I was "lucky" enough to be right under a P.A. speaker!
They're open Wed-Sun, and I foresee a lot of customer loyalty in the future.

So my afternoon chore is to get the bedroom/office rearranged and the old desk out. Tv also got here. I had a hell of a time getting the damn tv set up to do what I wanted. It would not recognize the HDMI or antenna inputs. After over an hour of messing with it I just had it do a factory reset and then downloaded the updates, BINGO! Now I can easily switch between TV, Game Console, Computer or Fire tv on a larger screen with high definition. In fact maybe too high so I'll have to adjust some settings to tone it down a bit.
