Craig's trip home went smoothly. He shall be collecting Yogi from the kennel soon and then come home. I wish I didn't have to leave for PT shortly after because I want to hear all about his trip.

For those of you concerned about Kitty locked in jail

she happens to like the bathroom. It has a heated floor which she seems to enjoy very, very much.

He hasn't posted so I presume he was well enough to return to work.

I was relieved at about 1:30 p.m. which was nice.

How is your father?

Back from lunch and errands and whatnot. Printer is working fine but as far as I can tell Time Capsule has not actually completed a backup since 10:30 this morning - it's trying and has been attempting to back up various sizes of info all day but it still says that the last backup was yesterday at three. Waiting for Mr. Apple to call me back.

Feels weird not receiving mail today.

Even though he knew better I had to remind Keith not to stop at the mailbox today.

UPS does deliver today, as well as, I think, Fed Ex and ONTRAC and those kinds of places.

It is so nice to have my DH home today.

Today I went birding at the sewage ponds. Our best birds were a peregrine falcon and an osprey.

Mr. Apple is confounded by how my Time Capsule is behaving so he sent me some sort of program that captures what it's trying to do - it's taking way too long in "preparing backup" - it should take seconds for it to begin when it's just finished a backup - there's nothing NEW to backup and therefore everything should take less than a minute. After five minutes of "preparing backup" I sent him the captures and now that gets sent to their senior techs and I'll get a call later in the week. Meanwhile, he suggested that if this next backup is screwy and taking forever that I just shut off the Time Capsule backup until they call me.

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

Osprey
(It was moving fast and was up pretty high.)

Gadwall

Avocet (in breeding plumage)

We aren't expecting any deliveries today so I didn't check. I didn't see any of their trucks on the road. I'm not familiar with ONTRAC.

Jane · « **Reply #136 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:13:53 PM »

DR Laura thanks for the photos. I wouldn't have guessed the Osprey was up high and moving fast. I like the ripples in the water. Is the Avocet a native bird or a transported one?

Laura · « **Reply #137 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:20:37 PM »

The avocets are winter/spring visitors. They will breed here, then leave for the summer.

Laura · « **Reply #138 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:22:50 PM »

I believe we had 51 species for the morning. Not counting the chickens.

They also come to southern Texas. Gorgeous birds.

Laura · « **Reply #141 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:31:34 PM »

They were white and black the last time I saw them a couple of weeks ago. Some are getting their rust heads now.

Lucky you. I will have to find out if they come my way.

Lovely photos, DR LAURA.

DR JANE (and all) - thanks for asking. My father is doing much better so far. The new specialist gave us a spray and a gel to use in case the bleeding starts again tonight. He is says the nasal membrane is just TOO dry, so of course we are also using the good old humidifier.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #145 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:46:04 PM »

The APPLES certainly have unique problems.

Since I am not watching any network TV tonight - I decided to watch two shows I have never seen on CW -

90210 and Gossip Girl

I am about half way through 90210, and I don't know if I will make it ALL the way through Gossip Girl......

This has been a bit of a frustrating day and I'm pissed at someone I respect a good deal. I'll get over it, but I'm very angry at him today.

Oh geez, what did I do now?
