Miss Nosy wanting her ears scratched. Barb's Tom turkey that stopped by this morning looked like the Bobcat or a coyote had been at him. He was missing 5 or 6 tail feathers from his fan. And he was by himself. Usually there have been three together. View attachment 269353
Luna moth on the walkway light this morning.

We’ve seen a Luna moth the last two years around our place. But we had never seen one before that and had to look up what it was. Apparently they are quite rare. The first one we saw was huge and perched right over our back door and stayed there for several days.

While we are talking about wildlife, we saw a bald eagle on Sunday on our way home from church. It swooped down low across the highway maybe 20ft in front of us. Probably the closest I’ve seen a wild one and the first time I’ve seen one in that area.

As little trouble as that thing has been, it might be worth fixing.

Failed low pressure hose. Won't be here till Monday....I didn't ask how much...

When I was leaving Lebanon last week traveling east on 32 an eagle swooped right over the road—awesome!

When I was more limber, and could reach them on the bank of White River, I spent a lot of time photographing a pair of mated bald eagles.

Same face I make during the work day.

The gardener is looking at pictures of actors with beards, but I remind her that beard or no beard I'm never going to look like Sean Connery.

but if you could simply talk like him - you'd get style points, right..?

Oh heck ..... that's their guarded look.
When they want to send warning signals .... they display (as below).

This will be the first non-maintenance repair in 115k miles and four years. Score one for Jeep...

Keeps are great, my wife is finally listening to me about trading in on something new before her g.c.’s value starts plummeting too much. She just rolled over 150k on her 2014. She mentioned today that her tranny “felt off”. No car payments have been nice, but repair bills are expensive.

So now the search starts.

There are going to be a lot of cars hitting the market very soon. no new cars for me. I will let someone else take the hit.

Preach. 2011 Chevy @160k and purring like a milk-fed kitten. No aspiration for anything new for some time. The Caravan is only at 85k.

What a beautiful evening for some softball. The sun/breeze combo is perfect.

New glasses arrive in 2-3 weeks, including a pair of scripted sunglasses. Doc super happy with my report, but wants to begin to correct for age-related farsightedness. Keep Numero Uno good and stress free. He gave me more crap about my BP than anything.

The ole "mines bigger than yours" gaze.

Perhaps a pervert eagle ?

Possessive one

They were actually a very devoted pair .... having mated for life, as they do.
I personally witnessed (3) cycles of young ones from this pair. Two chicks each time.

My trip to the ballpark started with a bunker rake not starting and then base stanchions missing.

but I was at a a ballpark so not all bad.

Howdy neighbor. You're just a few miles from me.

Not a bad campground at all. The young lady at the desk said it will be packed here this weekend. Said most are for the NRA Convention.
