Red-tails have a bad reputation and other birds won't tolerate them hanging around. There were 2 or 3 others in the chase that I couldn't get into the shot.

Know as "mobbing", correct?

That point I will concede. It is a problem.

Moderna #3 hasn't been bad for me, I'm dragging a little and have minor aches, but it's been a little less kind to my wife. That, of course, just shifts more responsibility on to my plate. Fun.

Sometimes, I think that it might be nice to be one laying on the couch, wind taken out of their sails and being tended to, but then I imagine my wife and kids, fumbling through my kitchen and cocking everything up. That makes me feel a little better about the situation.

People are just sick and tired of things not being exactly the way they desire. Who can blame them?

Will investigate big box hardware store options. I see the part can be bought online for about $25 but the programming part is way out of my knowledge zone.

A key for the Saturn is only $5. No programming needed. Harrumph. :50:

That's the going rate. Due to the chip shortage, you're lucky to find one.

Both correct.

This guy is getting a little carried away in the moment, got the nerve to pull out those cute little fingernails. :lol: That's like pulling out a knife against a guy with a sword.

Way back in 2001 I was on a long bike weekend out of Port Jervis, NY, staying at the Eddy Farm Resort. I locked my standard keys in my car and had to call a locksmith for an emergency visit on a Sunday. We got to talking. Local guy who had become a locksmith by answering an ad in "Popular Mechanics." I think I paid him something like $45. He told me his big charge was for programmable keys. The area is big for tubing, canoeing, etc. It was not rare for people to lose their keys in the water. He charged over $100 back then for a programmable key. In fact, that was his next call after me. In his defense, he did have to front the money for the equipment. You're stuck away from home and tired after a day on the river, possibly with tired kids. You don't really have a choice.

From the archives. We only got a dusting today.

Benson feels human?

Should I start yelling at/hitting people and throwing things?

Glad to hear you aren’t knocked on your ass completely.

Who can say? But she definitely doesn't feel less than during the Winter months.

She doesn't even need extra layers.

Yes. Yes indeed. Please have someone take photos. :innocent:

As I understand it, doing this on airplanes is all the rage these says. Accent on "rage".

I just shoveled the nuisance snow from the sidewalk, which is pretty light work. Yeah, that let me know that skipping the fake ride today was a good idea. Maybe tomorrow.

I was truly surprised at how hard it hit. Fever, hurt all over, could not get comfortable no matter what I did. I ended up sleeping until 8 today, which is at least 3 hours later than usual.
