    Two upcoming solar eclipses in North America

    This is a video my son did of the last eclipse. I think he plans to shoot the next one from my backyard.

    Advice on Screech Owl

    Wow! How special. :) I currently have an owl box in my half acre woods at the rear of my property. I know I have screech owls (eastern) in the area because I hear them. I also have Great Horned and Barred owls in the area. If I have some customers looking the box over, I'll probably try not...

    What have you read recently?

    I read roughly a book per week over the winter months. This has been the most unusual and enjoyable so far. Mr. Spaceman by Robert Olen Butler. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Spaceman-Robert-Olen-Butler/dp/0802137822 "There are three things about this planet which are too wonderful for me. Make...

    I've got Covid.... The thread for your covid experiences

    Yes, a deep wet cough for much longer than expected was my main symptom actually. Started off with high fever, and wet cough. Tested positive the morning of Sept 8th while on vacation. Fully vaxxed, btw. Was given the monoclonal antibody treatment in Fairbanks AK the same day. Felt better, no...

    Afib

    Good info. Thank you. Searching PVC's seems to better match what I'm experiencing. I'm scheduled for an echocardiogram May 2nd.

    Afib

    I've been having bouts of Afib for about 4 months now. I've had a cardio doc recommend a KardiaMobile device to record and relay the 30 second files to his office, and have been doing for several months now. I've noticed that no matter how severe/impressive an Afib event is during the 30...

    Fun "inexpensive" hobbies

    After moving to a new area a couple of years ago, I've taken up fossil hunting and collecting. Almost every bit of limestone rock on my property is encrusted with small marine fossils from the late cretaceous period. I do some prepping of the fossils with tools similar to dental pics. It's the...

    What did you do today? - 2021 version

    This reminds me a bit of the Goldberg Electra from years ago. It was the electric version of the Gentle Lady. Should be fun. :)

    Eagle nest cams

    I'd like to share a great horned owl nest in Texas. Currently brooding two eggs. They're very experienced and have been raising chicks from this nest for several years now. https://www.facebook.com/ennisowlcam/

    Regular Exercise, How do you do it.

    This is very good advice. After retiring, I started trying to jog myself back into shape. It was helping, but it wasn't something I looked forward to. After a twist of fate, I found myself riding an old bicycle to and from my jogging path. As time went on, I kept taking different/longer...

    deep finger tip cut

    Same here. I was adjusting the mixture on my son's plane before takeoff. It was a Super Tigre 60 engine at full throttle, and I got in too much of a hurry. Doc said it was like trying to stitch hamburger. :p I have most of the feeling back, but it took quite a while.

    LAX

    LAX was the last airport I ever departed from. I'd taken a bus from Long beach Naval shipyard. That was May of 1969. I was done with a chapter in my life and ready to be home. LAX didn't seem so bad at the time. No better or worse that other airports. So that was my last flight on an airplane...

    China devalues, Stops Agriculture imports

    It's not just the trade war hurting farmers. RIN waivers granted to refiners is taking a toll also. A fairly recent article: https://www.radioiowa.com/2019/07/31/145604/ A northwest Iowa ethanol plant suspended production this week “until further notice.” Plymouth Energy in Merrill is one of...

    What is your pet peeve of the day?

    Today's pet peeve is people letting their pit bulls run loose to attack bicyclers. And today's pit bull was introduced to Fox brand pepper spray. Animal control was also contacted, but I've never known of any action being taken. Thus the need for pepper spray. Fox spray is a show stopper, btw.
