The only helpful cousin I have is a woman CJet---LOL!
Is that your cousin in the back yard?

That's Noel's cousin!

Now that you mentioned it, I've not seen the hoards of black birds yet this year either!
That's because they are all out here! Thick as flies!
I got the cameras relocated outside. Front yard one no extension cord was needed. Attached the camera to a fake shutter screw.
Had to use an 8' cord on the back yard camera. It has a pretty strong magnet in the base so I sat it on top the heat meter. No screws anywhere near and didn't want to drill in the vinyl siding. Tested the motion detector a couple of times.
Put the trap out in the ditch by our driveway culvert with some fresh tuna in it. I can tell some kind of critter has been going in and out of the west end of it. I never got the leaves raked away from it, so it made it easy to read sign. Don't smell like a skunk so that's a plus!

On the run all day. Had to move the Heep, the '55 and the Denali to make room for the septic truck to back in. Then soon as they left I put vehicles back and the roofing guy showed up to discuss the project cost. Loree got off work for awhile for that. Got that scheduled for March, but I think it might still be too cold then. They won't do it until it starts acting like spring. The weather is obviously the big factor. Then I had to go into town and make some payments and grabbed lunch. Some idiot ran a red light and turned right in front of me out on the highway going into town. I had to slam the brakes and barely missed him. Sure glad I had the 3rd row seat clamped into it's mount as I think it would have hit the back of the front seats! I did get to gesture that he was #1 at least!
Got back home and put fresh food in the trap just in time because the wind started blasting just before sunset. Critters will stay sheltered tonight! Then a former co-worker stopped by to barrow a pickle fork. He retired about a month after I did. He had 33 years in and was only 56 when he retired. Had to shoot the bull with him for awhile.
Then our daughter messaged me. She is putting up a $300 reward for anyone that finds the cat. Started making a rider to put on the sign out front. I'm tired. Will finish the sign in the morning. Got the lettering cut and the panel made.

Yeah more of a project than I want to deal with, Chris! Pressure from outside sources---LOL!
That guy probably was dumb enough to take it as a compliment, Bill!
Yup I know what you mean. 10 days now I think. She probably didn't have the "street smarts" to survive.
I have been under the weather since Thursday. Just now starting to feel human. The "Heep" sold today, One less headache out of the way! The guy that bought it knows them well and plans on rebuilding it for his daughter to drive when she is old enough.

I think I still have that same jig saw Doug, it’s a tank!
Doug do you have a designated desk area in your shop. I’ve been wanting to to do this. I have a nice desk top with an awesome sound system upstairs which I never use. I would use it mostly for shop info rather than sitting in my shop using my phone all the time. My only concern would be the cold weather.
Yeah Jim it's big and heavy. Runs good still. I always used reverse cut blades in it too so it can get a little jumpy is you relax the grip.
DAC
Yes Jim I have an office in the shop where my computers are at. It usually doesn't get under 50* degrees. Since I still cut a lot of vinyl stickers, the office still earns it's keep a bit. It's a gigantic mess though.

Happy belated birthday Doug
I was going to end the soap opera about the cat, but our daughter reviewed security camera footage this morning from last night. The little rascal is still around! About 12:15 this morning she showed up to get a bite to eat! You can see her coming up the steps. She is still out there somewhere but I guess the search can continue since we know she is still alive and nearby. Evidently the 14F temps don't bother her!
Did my laundry and packaged Christmas presents to send to my sisters this afternoon. Loree's car goes in the body shop for hail damage repair tomorrow.

Kind of surprised she don't hang out by your door more..?
All's well that ends well. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
