Indeed...although they are considered nocturnal, they are also quite active during the day. Was watching a rabbit at the far end of the yard and along comes this silent flying form out of the trees and poof!... no more rabbit. Happened in the blink of an eye. One night, several Barred Owls had gathered in the pines along the driveway. They were making such a racket that it got me out of bed to investigate. They were completely undeterred by the flashlight I was using to spot them. they just sat there screeching at one another for a good 10 minutes, and then flew off.

Here in the land of the eternal sun burn, we are a bit of a broken record. Hot and dry hot and dry hot and dry.

Met up with three primary school mates last night I have known since the age of 5 years?
Two of which I have not seen for ten years. God how time flies.
Good night had by all and date set for next get together. We are all now 63 years young!
Weather was bearable in the pub…

Mild, windy, stormy. Errands took me to Galashiels again today, quite exiting in a gale of 50-70 mph winds. The weather kept changing from clear sky to looming black clouds rushing in to squally rain and back to clear sky again.
But great to be out on two wheels on the shortest day of 2024.
Happy Winter Solstice, y'all!

How's my weather? Freakin' COLD! 7°F this morning (-14°C) Shop is heated and I have a project in mind, but I'm not sure I want to brave the trip down there. We shall see.
She’s a chilly one today. Early morning it was -17C and now it’s warmed up to -14C. I think we have a couple of cold ones in front of us but next week it’s supposed to be +5-6C. Crazy weather. I’ll take the warmer stuff though.
Day 3 of below 0 temps. Went to the store Friday to stock up and haven't even opened the door since. Brrrrrrrr
58 degrees this morning at 9:00 AM, clear and sunny on its way up to 75. The wife said “Oh no! I forgot to buy a tomato at the store! “ No worries , says I, gives me an excuse to take the long way to Trader Joe’s! 
Was about 8 degrees on the jobsite today. The most I did all day was in the portajon attempting to remove 2 inches of hog through 4 inches of Carhartt. Also an obligatory I hate you Bob 
It warmed to a sunny 70 today in South Mississippi. It was a lovely Christmas Eve.
Dry and mild, a lovely morning but not at all Christmassy.

4 C and Sunny in SW Ontario on the 25th
Merry Christmas to all.
Supposed to be almost 10C by Saturday.
Rotated the battery tender amongst the runners today.
Predicted 39c today. I'll muck around in the workshop until it gets too hot & then it'll be inside & turn on the aircon.
