Good morning!!!!

....

For the past few days there's been a crow with an injured wing hopping around in the back yard. Its buddies have been hanging out in the trees and yard, too. The first day I chased it down with a shovel, but couldn't bring myself to dispatch it. Yesterday I was back there again and decided to put out some water and dog food in bowls I keep for my buddy's dog. Not sure what else to do, except check to see if there's a wildlife rescue outfit in the area.

....

Protected species. LOL.

We have some sort of "crow" (if it caw caws, it's a crow to me) migrate through here. Annoying birds...very annoying...did I say annoying?

Morning all, 31 going to 42, and sunny. So temp this morning less than 1/2 of yesterdays high of 67.,
Supposedly Ikea is coming to pick up frankenbed parts today. They do follow up well so far.

Some smaller Ash trees fell in driveway, now moved over to drive son to school.

Last window sheetrocked, should not need to cut more sheetrock for a long time. While doing ceiling patches, was so easy to cut/break/trim the normal stuff, the fire rated was such a chore.

RNG - they used those roll-a-lifts to take out the old Tarm wood/oil burner- they do seem to work really well

Wind was up over 40mph last night, could actually hear the trees hitting each other. I'm sure a few more fell last night, could hear some crashes. The more the better so I don't have to eventually rope them.

Did not get enough time after day job to start shelf project, maybe tonight. Sanding and refinish, would rather do outside if the wind ever calms down.

Happy anniversary Newbury!

Be well,

I used to put up with the YT ads. But for some reason, when I switched to Duck Duck Go browser, I've never again seen an ad on YouTube.

I just fired up drew's video on youtube on DuckDuckGo, and it started with an ad.

Are you in TBN clicking within Drews's post or launching outside of TBN?

I see no ads, and I am vanilla as far as browsers, extensions and add-on's. No virus or ad-blocker stuff either.

around 30 deg
set the trash can out by the road last night, when we came home last night it was on it's side. One can down the road had blown across the road.
This morning I went out and set it up, got ranger out to carry 3 bags of old cat litter to the trash can. Boy is that wind cold. Wasn't used to that.
hopefully can stays upright with a lot more weight in it.

Looks nice outside, sunny. We had winds in 30 mph last night, but my weather station is a bit protected behind the house.

My work for today is done. lol
I dumped a bunch more train pics in my Life on the farm thread, probably boring to most people, think that's all I'll do.

I collect one little pension that is with Fidelity. so far they are paying me every month. I have another one with them I'll start in 2 yrs, that's when it will hit it's max amount. Another pension from another source, and then I also take money from my IRA. I'll start SS in a couple years probably. Not much of a difference in age 65 to age 67, slight decrease.

unfortunately it started with an ad that I opposed, so I killed the show. Too bad youtuber's don't have a say in what ad's show up. I'll try again later, maybe different ads.

Advertising, in general, pisses me off. TV, radio and now uTube. My brother sold ads for a radio station/group, so I didn't complain to him but... I "skip ad" on uTube, but some of those you can't. I wear out the mute and channel switcher buttons on the TV remote. Change stations on the car radio. Record and fast forward through them, when I can. I listen to Pandora, at home (and yes I pay $55/year for not listening to commercials...) I chuckle and shake my head when seeing/hearing some of this crap. The agency/creators are "so proud" of their creation, and I just shake my head, as I reach for the remote. sigh

Try listing it on Craigslist or EBay — you can make more than 2cents/lb AND APthey will pick it up from you

Yep, I thought of that if any of it is decent. I'll need to cut it out of the trees, though. There's a belt drive cement mixer, sit on (horse drawn) cultivator and manure spreader, and other treasures. Maybe list 'em as "Yard Art".

plowhog figured it out, I had to change setting in DuckDuckGo to only use their player. Now no ads.
