4:49 windmill. Bright calm  and cool today. Don't know what I will do.  Maybe walk or ride somewhere.  Pretty cool though.  Looks nicer than it feels.  Dentist visit was normal thank goodness.  My hygienist, who I have always admired as a pretty young woman, said she just got back from her very first two week vacation parasailing in Florida to celebrate her 60th!!!! birthday.  Yikes! Where did my life go?  I love the bird cams.  Come home vultures.  We are waiting for you.
I miss the Pantry Cams.  Snow is being over loaded with very hungry and aggressive deer.  I am afraid the state will tell them to stop feeding soon to prevent  Wasting disease.  The table was put there for that, but is no longer effective.  It did seem to work for the past few years, but deer are too hungry now and are learning to eat here any way they can.
Gonna go now for second coffee and some TV news.

4:51 things are working this morning.  Tiny bit of snow just now as I rode my bike to see if I forgot to get mail yesterday. because I have no paper.  No I don't, and I won't get one until way after breakfast.  So I am Jonesin'.  I will just have to cruise the internet instead while I eat my messy cereal and coffee. LOL
  See you all later.  Take care and GBU.

[johoward]

Just got off with Mohela the student loan guys.  What a fiasco.  They have told me to wait for from 1 hours to 4 hours for a call back.  Then sometimes they don't call.  Not sure what I am supposed to do.  They are not very coordinated.
Hope you all are seeing some wildlife and doing OK.
Bye for now EV1 GBU

First Bear!!! - UPDATE March 26, 2025

First Bear!
First Bear full view
First Bear

Out of the corner of my eye from my desk a small patch of black showed at the edge of the window. A BEAR!!! My heart leaped even before it came fully into sight. He obviously knew the program or he wouldn’t be coming up the steps, but I wasn’t sure who he was. At first he was a little shy as I stepped out the door, but I acted normal and he became calmer and calmer. I’m sending these pictures out to Mike and Lorie to see if they recognize him. Maybe he will pop into my memory overnight. The video shows him as the trail cam documented his arrival. I hope he keeps coming.

There has been other action but not with bears. He is the first bear I’ve heard of in the area this year.

Fisher Male
Fisher Male

The action last evening was the fisher amazing me again by coming within 10 feet of me. I saw him halfway up the steps looking at me and I threw him a piece of bologna, which I don’t think I’ve ever done before because he’s always been so skittish, but somehow he recognized what I was doing and ran up a few steps to grab it. He looked at me again, and I tossed him another slice that landed on the edge of the deck. He ran to that piece, too, but was a little hesitant about going the last foot to get it. He went back down the steps, I put more slices out, went inside, and he knew what I had done. I wasn’t inside a minute when he was just outside my desk window taking a piece and pausing just long enough for a click.

The bald eagle has also been exciting. This evening, he swooped by, grabbing and eating four chicken drumsticks in less than a half hour. Thinking I could get a picture of each repeat performance, I failed. He swooped by faster than I could react. Each click was just scenery. No eagle. I hope he keeps coming this summer so the bear course participants can see his grab and go performances and maybe get some pictures for good memories.

Thank you for all you do,

4:34 Second coffee waiting getting cold.  Had to ride to mailbox again this morning, because I wanted to get yesterday's paper to read with my cereal.  Not too bad out dry and cool, but not windy so not too cold. Good luck at presurgey visits.
 Cal, Thanks for showing us Doc's update.  I can't tell one bear from another, and find it amazing that all the people around Doc can. I don't follow the baseball as much as I do football, but I do like the Indians.  So we will be in competition today Cal.  Indians did well last year and have all the team back for this year so we should be competitive.
I will say CUL EV1 GBU

[johoward]

Lots of deer and turkey at Snow.  That was at about 5 PM.  Now at 10 PM I see one big raccoon and a fair sized Opossum.
I will say GN and GBU now, and go play solitaire for a while.

Good morning Cal.  I think you will be fine.  Most people are.  Your nurse has to prepare you for the worst that other people have gone through, because she does not know you.  She does not know what group you will be in until after the surgery.  Then you will show her that you are in the quick to recover group. I could do stairs pretty soon after, but I kind of snuck up on doing them by going up and down with my good leg first.  You are more active than most people with bad knees.  That will be in your favor for rehab.You will be able to "just get up".
I did do the puzzle.  Just forgot to type in time.  It was 7:15.  Doing texts with Debbie and with Kelly in California at the same time as doing puzzle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That yodeling cat looks like a cross between a Siamese cat and a lamb. LOL

I agree with jo that you will definitively be in the quick to recover group.
