We like having the fox around to reduce the squirrel population.
But we don't have chickens either and have seen what one fox can do in an evening.
Friend lost 11 of 16 chickens in one night, feathers everywhere.
Took him a while to find the other chickens up in the trees hiding.

Soon you'll be seeing eggs listed as "Market Price" on the menu..
Spent morning looking at my auto insurance costs. Think I might have mentioned car ins going up about $500 from last year, or 23%. Was 14% last year from yr before, 10% the preceding 2 years...
Got a letter from Ins saying I can protest the increase, but the letter says it's only going up 1%, or $22 because of my sons accident. Apparently the protest will only be for the additional $22 they attribute to the accident.
Insurance companies are sleezy, worse than lawyers. O wait, they are ran by lawyers.
Didn't see the fox on camera last night, but a deer beside the house at about the time the fox is normally around.

Does it ever last long enough?
Only First Class for you my friend!
That is just fantastic! Sounds like there is a very interesting story about that desk!
Busy day! Hope the streets are clear and safe!
Good Man Mr. Thomas. I bet the owner was surprised.I iphone I found yesterday which I hung on the mailbox now gonehope the right person took it.
Can't have too many garages. Or enough space to fill up.
That is never fun but hope you can find a way to save some money!
Prayers you stay well!
We have a fox in the neighborhood. I see it frequently coming through the backyard and maybe on the back porch around midnight. It's not a hard working squirrel catcher though. We are over run with them.
It's up to a sunny 76° here and a slight occasional breeze. Burned some more small brush this morning and will have some more later after trimming back the Pride of Barbados plants.
Have an Austin day tomorrow. Early morning meetings and then lunch with a friend from East Texas then a reception in Bee Cave. Should be an interesting day.
Hope everyone here has a great afternoon, evening and restful, peaceful sleep tonight. The older I get the more I appreciate a good nights sleep.
Prayers for our Nation!

My office desk is an old oak dining table that my parents had once upon a time. Only 30" x 52" long including the one 10" leaf. It might have gotten passed down. It had 4 chairs, think I have 3 of them, but chairs falling apart.
When in High school, this was my desk in my bedroom. I used to solder on it, and left several burn marks. I fixed most of those, but kept where i put my initials with the soldering iron.

The highway going to North Bay was hard packed snow covered with wheel track bare sections. Still did the limit. (65 mph)
Around the city was slushy and wet. Got my oil, $161.oo +/- all in. While junior was in doing the grocery shopping I cleaned the headlights, taillights and license plate and topped off the washer bottle.
Coming home the roads were bare and dry, my cruise control didn't want to work. Oh well, 110-120 kmh all the way. (68 - 75 mph)
Home now and just downloaded the manual for a President Lincoln II CB manual for a buddy that has one and lost the manual.

part of my afternoon was nice.
The part when I was parked outside the PT place in Souderton and the warm afternoon sun was coming
in, had to open a window. I almost nodded off.
the not so nice part was because the gps on my car stopped again, I missed the 202 exit from 309 going home and in miserable traffic had to turn
around and retrace my steps, without a working nav system. When the sign said Philadelphia 10 miles ahead I knew I had gone too far.
at least I know now what the problem is, an overheating issue in the electronics, since it works fine for half an hour, then fails, and stays failed.
Rebooting car does nothing. So I recontacted dealer and said this has to come back.
to make things worse today, I did what I thankfully rarely do and left my phone home on my desk. So no backup nav.
added stress to a situation I normally would just laugh off.
just add it to my big dumbie list...
Bill, glad you had a good trip. I can't imagine driving 65mph on snowy anything. Seems the colder it gets the more grip?
I'm glad you aren't driving the Ice Road

Good news regarding the farm pipeline.
Looks like the pipeline company came around to our way of thinking.
Ice event coming wed night.
Next week snow returns, current 4-6” predicted.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.6C and it's presently 19.9C, clear with a breeze. There was a paltry 0.1mm in the gauge from a very brief 'downpour' yesterday evening.
Yesterday's trip to Launie was fairly successful... and I was glad that I spent the majority of the day driving in my ute with the A/C on! I was able to get two watches' batteries replaced. And a good thing too as it turns out that he was closing down in a weeks time. My favourite clothing store was also having a 'closing down' sale (it's nation-wide too).
When I arrived home @ 1620, my temperature gauge showed 37.4C (that's 99.3F)! Fortunately, 1.5hrs later, a cold front came through and dropped the temp to 24C. That high temp sure felt like an oven and 'crisped up' the grass.
Today is 'into town' day for groceries, petrol and the PO as I've received a notification that I've got mail. This arvo it's time to move the horses from Paddock #6 to #1... depending on how I feel, I'll need to chain-harrow Paddock #6 after that or tomorrow.
That's about it, take care all.
Edit: Bugger. I just saw the notification about Bird's passing.

I still want to see it in writing... Got an escalation clause for future pipeline pricing, but only after 10 yrs. I had also tried for a penalty clause if they were late paying, but dropped that to push the escalation clause.
We got most of what we asked for. Just the price increase paid for the lawyers.

Good evening.
Today started out about 40, didn’t change much, it’s 36 now.
Slow moving day, did a little preparation for tomorrow’s trip to Orlando, hoping to be back before the snow.
Played catchup with some paperwork, chased the stick vacuum around the old folks home to get the large tufts of Zoe fur before the Roomba goes to work.
I’m quite happy to have the radiant heat work exactly as designed. It worked well before, but it left me a bit puzzled at times.
Got a bit more automotive maintenance done, Amazon brought me a nice funnel that threads into the oil filler on Toyotas, and I’m pleased to say that it worked great.
Not much else gonna happen tonight, I’m shifting gears into work mode. Can’t complain, I haven’t had a trip since before Christmas. But tomorrow will be completely consumed by the trip to Orlando. I’m leaving a little early as the leg down is empty, and I’ve got a friend that’s coming along, he will airline home over the weekend. I’m going to pick him up and give him a ride to the airport with me.

Ron, Thanks for re-posting here. His wife of 59 years died a month before in September.
Bird and Harvey were at all my Texas project get-togethers. He even helped us with Jim's outdoor elevator and sidewalk in Jim's final days. May Bird R.I.P.

Good evening all. Motivation has proven most elusive. Front went through farther than expected so no 60's today. 54 for the start, foggy, light breeze. Light wind, partly cloudy sky, and high temp was at 12:01 AM at 63ºF, low temp was 47ºF mid morning and mid afternoon. Made coffee to start day, grief share, putter, was going into town but fighting diarrhea Dollar General had Imodium close by, and that did the trick. Stomach now shrunk, so might help with with weight loss.
