Man oh man oh man... Does that shot above reflect the pensive nature of my day... The computer that controls our outdoor cam has lost its ability to establish a network connection. Winsocks, TCP/IP stacks, HW... I'm pretty sure I've tried everything short of kneeing it in the Netherworld and calling it "Waldo". Nothing to do but keep on keeping on. I'll let you know when the system is back up again.

Onward...

For some reason the bird activity has been slow around here lately. I'm not sure if the turkeys are scaring them away, or if there's a hawk watching, but in any event, the feeders have seen little action. (Though I did see a small pile of feathers, so maybe that explains everything.) Ah, the joys of the backyard.

What else? Well, believe it or not, we've had 511 posts on this blog. Of those, I wrote 482 not counting this one. I wouldn't even guess at the number of readers. But to give you some idea, our (now un-cooperative) bird cam has gotten over 18,000 views (22,000 if you count the first iteration of the camera). Anywho, I'm inching up on the 500 post mark... Not sure what I will do to celebrate the Big Five Oh Oh. Just brace yourself.

Better run and see if I can't fix that stoopid streaming gadget... See you by the feeders,
