    Replaced a headlight on my wifes Subaru. Removed the tire, pulled the wheel well cover out of the way, and changed the lamp left handed.

    Sounds better then picking dried knuckle hair out of your bread dough.

    Did you drop the $17 bulb on the ground watching it shatter like childhood dreams?

    On my way to get a Covid Test. Some extended family member was exposed to someone who tested positive. Had to quarantine all week. No work except when nobody else was there. Hopefully good to go by Monday!

    Hoping for he best, Charlie.

    Brewed a batch of the darker roasted Honduras Canal Washed Lempira from Legacy Farms this morning to start the day as a break from the lighter roasted Uganda Sipi Falls Natural that I've been enjoying on the regular. I realized during the brewing that I'd forgotten to clean the pot, tastes pretty good even with this breach of routine.

    After making coffee I took the extra french fries from The Habit family meal that we had for dinner last night and made a sort of hash brown dish for breakfast from them. Browned some onions, added cut up ham steak and cut up french fries, and added a couple of cheese sticks that didn't really melt right (out of cheese except for cheese sticks) and also scrambled some eggs on the side. My daughter is not a fan of eggs, but she said that she'd eat this dish with egg in it next time. My wife suggested I add bell pepper next time too.

    Enjoyed this with a mimosa my Wife made. Well I'd already finished breakfast by the time my Wife came down for breakfast.

    Made steak and eggs for breakfast.

    The blackbirds / starlings are migrating through today. I used to really hate them, because they'd wipe out all the bird food, but now I simply watch the swirling movements of the flocks as they pass through. Interestingly, the local small birds seem to realize that if they're at the feeder, the starlings pick up on that and come in. They seem to know what's coming, disappear, to return when the swarm has passed.

    Or, maybe I've watched too many nature documentaries lately.

    So it goes.

    we have a pair of Baltimore orioles who have decided to stick around the feeder this winter. I put out orange halves for them and have discovered that a small cup of mango nectar makes them really happy.

    edit: what other birds live in your neighborhood during the winter?

    Lot's of birds here. Various hawks, occasional bald eagles, turkeys, owls, sparrows, various thrush and finches, I think. Let's see, cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds, great blue heron, never know when you'll see cormorants, "snake birds" some call them. The blue birds and purple martins are gone for the winter. Osprey passes through in April and October. Same with the black-caps. Doves, used to be LOTS of doves, not so many anymore. Same with robins. Canada geese, which also seem to be less prevalent that 10 years ago. We don't have the little screech-owls like we used to around here, either. I miss seeing them standing along the edge of the road at night. Or, maybe I just don't drive as much at night. I love living in the country.

    Did the dishes, changed the water filter in the water filter pitcher, brewed coffee, brought in the spare ribs to rest before prepping for the grill.

    Tried to buy a game (Among Us) on the Nintendo Switch eShop today. Must have been a Merry Christmas for Nintendo because their eShop has been suffering outages since this morning.

    Was finally able to load Among Us on the Nintendo Switch, an improvement over playing it from a mobile device. We were playing with my family and my eldest's boyfriend. I was hampered by bringing the herf dog into my lap so he'd stop pacing the floor meaning I wasn't able to use my external keyboard with my laptop.

    One of the twins teachers will use Among Us as a reward. If the class as a whole does well she will play the game with them.

    For my Wife to play with the kids. I have Steam loaded up on my new laptop so I run Among Us on Steam. She's been using her old iPad, but it's much easier to play on the Nintendo Switch so I set her up. I may end up using it some time if I'm ever too lazy to get out my laptop, keyboard, and mouse to play.

    that's the way to do it because fencing a seal is a lost cause.

    The only heat in the entire building at work is a 10" space heater in my office. The rest of the building is 34f. Brrrrr.
