Morning everybody. I'm in SF since a week ago, thru this Friday. I was able to go to pre-compression Saturday - there were very satisfactory amounts of fire, art, music, and craziness. Mutaytor was TEARING IT UP. I plan to see Marty Thursday at an art preview. I was also able to go to Glide Memorial Church for their Sunday celebration. It's the only church where this old atheist has ever felt truly welcome and able to celebrate the spirit that unites us all.

So - happy Monday all! Don't know if I'll have much chance to stay in touch during the week (business trip) but I wanted to take the chance I've got.

Looks like a peregrine falcon.

That was my guess, too. Although I'm not a raptor expert. I hope that he gets proper care. I understand that it's not always easy to rehabilitate wildlife.

Hi all! Busy times at the ranch for me. 3 days until Lakes of Fire, and since it's my one and only burn for the year I am pushing hard to make it extra awesome.

Time for a beer though

I think she's brought enough for all of us!

I think what you have there, goathead, is an American Kestrel.

The Kestrels have the same double black stripe facial markings, one in front of eye, one behind the eye, on each side.
Peregrine Falcons eye markings extend below the eye and form a sort of helmet.

The Kestrels are more common, and the smallest of the falcon family.
Found in open country, feeds on insects, reptiles and smaller birds.

They have a distinctive row of white, circular spots on the trailing edge of their wings.

Has it called out? What kind of sounds does it make?

OK, having trouble figuring out why my LEDs aren't glowing bright, so I am having a glass of wine and relaxing a bit. Join me!

What I need is a better meter

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:29 pm

Not a wine drinker, but I'll join you.

sets out a couple of buckets. fills with ice and whiskey.

magicmarty · Post by **magicmarty** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:30 pm

Wow, Risky, you are some kind of ornithologist!!!

I'll have a bit of that wine with you, Sput.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:30 pm

Hey Risky, I love a good whiskey.

Somehow that needs to be made into a poem.

What're you up to tonight?

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:37 pm

Working on some schwag.
Studying generators.
Contemplating a refrigerator for my trailer.
Putting aloe on my sunburn.
Cleaning guns from our camping trip to Frog Pond this past weekend.

Do you have everything about packed?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:39 pm

I was just sitting here thinking that I have yet to pack anything except for my tent, which is in the same bag it's always in. I'll probably pack on Wednesday night, or Thursday morning when I'm waiting for the truck to come and get the Heart of Gold. I'm sure he'll be late, even though I have no idea when he's coming.

How big of a gennie are you looking for?

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:45 pm

I am getting another Honda 2000i.
I overloaded one last year and blew it.
So re-contemplating my power needs so that I can learn from being a dumbass once, not twice.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:48 pm

Ouch! Hopefully you can stay within your limits or find a better fuse!

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:49 pm

Yes, sigh, more discipline needed on my part.
Not exactly my forte.

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:53 pm

very good Risky.
we always just called them sparrow hawks.
bird is ok, not injured in anyway, just left the nest to soon.
silly kids these day.
they are easy to raise.
he has a good home right now and will be turned loose later this summer.

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:55 pm

slides a whiskey to goathead.

It was nice to see you this weekend.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:57 pm

Hi Risky, Hi Sput.......Hi Marty,,,,,,Hi GH, if anyone's still here.

Risky: did your genny blow from overloading? How was it at starting your freezer? Elliot is wanting to run a freezer on a 1Kw Honda........I'm just wondering if it'll start it.

Did your genny blow beyond repair?

Have fun Sput.....sounds like a blast.

I'll have a cognac, myself........

anyone else?

goathead · Post by **goathead** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:00 pm

it is good to be seen LOL
doesn't happen very often up here.

sometimes feel sort of like a ghost
wandering the desert nights up here.

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:00 pm

I blew the ring. The labor cost would outweigh buying another.
I still have it, just not sure if I will ever find the parts to repair it.

I was searching for my freezer paperwork in hopes that I didn't have to get into the spider infested barn to read the watts off the freezer itself. I can't seem to remember what it is. It's not the only thing I run, tho, like Elliot intends. So a 1000 may work for him.

FaeTora · Post by **FaeTora** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:02 pm

I'll take one. This is my friday. Finished work and am getting into PJ's and having a drink.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:04 pm

Very cool cognac glass Ygmir!

Lots of things going through my head right now, so sleep is not going to happen soon. Hope it does though, need to prep for the weekend ahead.

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:06 pm

Ha! I know that feeling, Sput. Your brain is all polluted!
I have to get it out of my head in order to sleep.
And then I put pen and paper next to the bed because things will pop into my brain all night long and I will drive myself crazy knowing I will forget it by morning.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:07 pm

well, cognac it is, for FT and Sput..........maybe Risky will come on over and slum with us?..........

don't go lookin in the barn Risky. We can google it.

Risky · Post by **Risky** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:13 pm

ok, but with a cognac I have to have a cigar.

FaeTora · Post by **FaeTora** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:14 pm

Its not slumming if you drink with style.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:17 pm

Oh my goodness...Risky, you are the ultimate woman! Cigars and cognac...oh my!

and handguns and explosives, etc, etc

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:33 pm
