Good Morning (actually afternoon now) from Candia. It was around 15F this morning
and now a sunny 36F.
I'm checking out photo upload with >1Mb photos. I thought that interesting wildlife
in my area would be suitable and maybe interesting, since I haven't any recent seat
time photos (no snow) to exhibit.
Back in the fall of 2010, we had a porcupine who visited us on a daily basis.
In January of this year, a group of four deer paid us a daily visit looking for food.
Then one not so wild - Max modeling his new Patriot's jacket.
Looks like uploading photos with >1 Mb works again!:cool2:

Beware the big bad gateway. I tried all day, off and on, to post.
We had a frost on the roof again this morning. But turned into a pretty 70F day.
Hope you guys had a good one,

35.2F @ 21:30 with some light snow and mist ... headed up to 44F tomorrow, then into the 60's for several days ... a welcome change.
Spent most of yesterday sorting fasteners out and more cleaning/sorting in the utility room in basement. Burned a couple pails of creosote from the chimney. Found a brand new photocell on a stalk ... might try to wire that up to control the three lights on the back side of the house.
I also got the door bell repaired (new rubber grommets, which I already had, for the chime bars) and replaced the front door bell switch ($6 and change at the Depot, illuminated even) Picked up another switch for the rear door today.
Figured out a solution (for under $5) for the bad socket in one of the recessed light fixtures in the main bathroom, original socket (shorted out) impossible to find. Picked the parts at the Depot today and just finished replacing the socket and putting it all back together. That room is now all LED's (four 60w "Daylight") Converted over the three night lights in the hall to CFL's.
Tore into the last remaining junk drawer in the kitchen, 50% of what was in it needs to be elsewhere ... will finish that up tomorrow. Replacing the dimmer switch for the chandelier in the dining room is also on the menu for tomorrow, as well as paperwork.
Ran into a snag on upgrading alarm system ... some sensors that would work in a commercial environment might not work so well in a home setting, so rethinking/revisiting that. Lots of reading to do.
Might go see about tearing up the slate tile in the entryway here in a bit.

Yup ... pretty peaceful hereabouts :thumbsup:
Yes, it is.
We've been pretty lax about security in the past but no more.
Enjoy your new rake ... they are a very handy thing to have.

Thanks, Guys! The sad part is the risk of wild life getting to trust humans
and then meeting up with a non-trusting human who thinks nothing of using
them for target practice.
That little fellow visited us on a daily basis for most of the year. Early in the
year, he was just a young one (just looked it up - they're called porcupettes
when young) and returned daily until not long after the photos were taken,
then we never saw him again. We often wondered what happened to him.
Hopefully, nothing as a result of making friends with him.

Good morning all. At least half of the day should be dry, so quite pleasant to do things outside - if I can pick the right half.
David are Brazilian Cardinals normally so unafraid of humans, or does your wife have special powers ? It is a very long time since I held a small wild bird like that and your picture stirred memories of that every so light yet firm grip they take on your fingers and then they are gone.
Sorry wngsprd, I asked the lambs if I could take their picture, but most were too busy
or too shy
except this one

19 right now and a high of 40 today. Today is the start of a nice warming trend (upper forties to low 60's) that is supposed to last at least a week.

34 going to 50 and cloudy.
Eric, awesome pix.
Never knew what I was missing without a 3 pt landscape rake...what a workhorse...used it for 2 hours yesterday.
We're hosting a Downton Abbey finale dinner tonight. So, will help with general clean up and prep this afternoon.

Good morning 33 this morning scattered rain headed to 50 today. I seen some post on problems getting on the forrum. Tthis morning i got there faster than i been able to get on any web sight in over a year. thats the reason for not being here this internet has been a nightmare for us for over a year now. I got so frustrated with it i just stop trying to use it very much at all. We are the last customer on the line and the distance was killing our speed but they have installed a new terminal closer to us which fixed most of our problem i hope. everyone have wonderful day

yep i missed the forrum but what i had to do to use the internet has been so frustrating. If i needed to do something on here i had to do it most time after 11 o clock at night so i said heck with it till it got fixed.

40 degrees going up to low fifties today in the start of a warming trend with nights in the fifities and days in the 70's.
No rain predicted until next weekend so should be a good week outdoors to get things done.
Eric, are your lambs bigger than normal or is that just an impressive picture? Maybe it's just a foot of wool on them...
The ribs were only ok...cooked nicely in the grill at 250-300 with a dry rub, taste was good, just chewy. Kinda miss the moisture of all the traditional
barbecue glop on them but trying to avoid that. Next time I might try boiling them first but at least they were edible. Opted not for a rack but individually cut ribs so that could have been a factor; mostly I have no idea what I'm doing and happily admit it...
Next time will be better. While at the meat market, got some fresh local sausage and one big Delmonico steak that will feed two.
now did you know that a chittering is a cooked chitterling, aka chitlin? None of which any sane person would put in their mouth btw. And I expect Larro to correct me to tell me how good pigs intestines are. And hog maw which apparently is often eaten as "soul food" also. I read the instructions for cleaning chitterlings and no thanks, complete turn off. Although, Eric's ancestors ate them, but now are too "civilized" to do so:
Chitterlings were common peasant food in medieval England, and remained a staple of the diet of low-income families right up until the late 19th century. Thomas Hardy wrote of chitterlings in his novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles, when the father of a poor family, John Durbeyfield, talks of what he would like to eat:
Tell 'em at home that I should like for supper, – well, lamb's fry if they can get it; and if they can't, black-pot; and if they can't get that, well, chitterlings will do.
Ok, smart man, first he wanted some of Eric's lamb. then...I'm stumped here, what is black pot? Lots of info on cooking in black iron pots but not a recipe. Did it mean anything and everything that went in the big pot?
