A few weeks ago the brown stink bugs started showing up, today the first lady bug appeared inside the house.
Fall has truly arrived.
It should be National Trucker Day – 10-4.
Say t&b, in reference to your recent encounter with hostiles in the UP, I hope yesterdays game didn’t result in large quantities of cash changing hands.
My computer printer quit working, it’s error message says that one of the ink cartridges has failed. After removing the bad cartridge it still won’t print.
The only way to check if the printer still works is to replace both cartridges. I went to Staples this morning and found that the two cartridges would cost $85. Nearby they had a new wireless multi-function printer on special for $89.99.
Guess what I’m trying to figure out how to work now.
I headed out to the state trail at Elroy yesterday to check out a few things. First was how my bike and carrier ride on my C-max, I never liked how it fit on the Fiesta but this works just fine. Next was my bike itself, I’ve had it for over a year but have never taken it out for an extended ride. Just like my other bike, it needs a better seat. Last was the 400 trail, I’ve been North on both trails but not yet South. I unloaded in Elroy, clicked my old E-trex onto the handlebars and looked to see what caches were in front of me only to find that not a single cache on the 400 trail was loaded. It’s got caches loaded for the Omaha and E-S trails but none for the 400. I was sure I’d loaded all the trails – two years ago, I guess that explains it.
I rode down to Wonewoc and back, the scenery was ok but with everything leafed out you don’t see as much as you do see. I stopped a few times and found three caches, don’t know how I missed the other 50.
I just went out and mowed a little of the lawn. Was surprised to see a few crickets scurrying around in the grass, I thought they were all in my basement.
I’ve got two different kinds of Gray-headed Woodpeckers coming to my suet feeders. Eventually a couple will become Red-headed, and a couple will become Red-bellied. I can’t wait, maybe they’ll quiet down a bit.
Whats with this 700 obsession ? It must be about the numbers.
It is thought by some that they are being driven South in winter by a lack of food. Who is to say that doesn’t hold for summer also.
Maybe they just followed the smoke here from the Canadian wild fires this summer.
I had never had Red-headed Woodpeckers at my feeders before this summer. Now I see them regularly, also a couple of juveniles, just as big as their parents but with almost grey heads. Kind of pretty.
I’d be more surprised to see a swan perched 25′ up on a spruce branch. I suppose there could be an albino version of a different owl.
Could there be a Snowy Owl in these parts, at this time of year?
I was driving West on 21 this morning and saw a white flash off a bird flying across the road ahead. I assumed a Bald Eagle, it landed about 25′ up in a spruce on the corner of 21 and 4th. ave. As I got closer it was showing way too much white to be an Eagle and as I went past I got quick but good look and it sure looked like a Snowy Owl.
Another thought I had later was a Gyrfalcon in white phase but that might be even stranger.
Just finished with Two Women from New Glarus while watching the Packers family night.
I’ve got a Red-headed woodpecker coming to one of my suet blocks. I’ve had everything else, Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied, I even had a Pileated show up a few times some years ago. This is the first Red-headed, he (she) is a beauty close up.
Five years ago today – probably my most significant and memorable day of geocaching – with the Hitwoman. Who can remember what happened?
Something in a marsh?
Was that the day that I remember someone on TV telling the police about a lady borrowing his ladder for something in the park?
