Yeah, warming up will make a LOT of things better! LOL
The building where they hold the chili supper each year will be mighty chilly tomorrow evening with so many people going in and out. It isn’t all that great on heat in the first place.

I imagine the budget bill is why he’s staying in DC.
He did vote for the tax bill.

A very pleasant good Thursday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military t home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I wear my spikies every morning from car to the mall door, and then back to the car. That surface ice can be sneaky.

[radu]

I reckon I’d better head out. I’ve been cropping and resizing scaps of the Latvian eagle owlets from last year and not paying attention to the time. I’d forgotten how much fun those owlets were to watch last year!

Still have a few things to do before hitting the hay and the alarm is already going to buzz too early to suit me. LOL

Catch ya tomorrow.

[luvie]

I was about to head out too. Man! I hope those owls come back to the nest. They were just too darn cute!

Some of the chatters saw Mr. Tiger on the ledge tonight. I ran it back and watched and sure enough. He stayed a while, looked over the ruined eggs, hooted some and then left. I guess they’re thinking it won’t be too long now for a new clutch.

See ya tomorrow!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...are you trapped in the cold spell?

Hope you and Bo can go hunting.

Have a great Thursday!

[E.G.C.]

It looks like we are going to warm up some. We saw our coldest temps on Tuesday. :-D

[left that other site]

VERY sneaky! :-)

(The ice, not YOU!)

[luvie]

Now? :)

Now? :)

Gooood mornin', Early Birds!
Whazzup wit' chew all?
Is it finally warming up there?
Can you see the sun? ☀️
That ol' weekend is nearly here!
Do you have plans?
Anyhoooooo....🦉....hope it's warmer, whatever you do.
((((hugs))))

[MEG33]

Love This!

[MEG33]

It’s 29 now and warming with sunshine...It actually got down to 8 degrees yesterday here...I am looking forward to a much warmer weekend. We may get some welcome rain then.

[MEG33]

A Belated Happy Birthday!
Dear Kathy
Have A Wonderful Year!

[radu]

Not very often that I head out before you do, is it? LOL

I’ll be broken-hearted if Mr. Bubo and Ms. Bo don’t go back to that nest this year. Out of all the birds I watched last year, they were the most fun by far.

I saw Mr. T last night on the ledge too. Or saw his feet and his face reflected in the window. LOL! It was nice listening to him and Altera hoot a duet for a while. It’ll be nicer to see her back on the nest with new eggs.

[luvie]

I was surprised when I saw your goodnight post! LOL! How did the meeting go?

I hope the Eagle Owls come back too. I keep checking. I think the cam is down. They might BE back for all I know. I know...i need to check the forum. LOL! I’ve got them on my YouTube playlist and forget to go to the website.

Speaking of YouTube, my JH one is having issues with You Tube putting a black screen with their logo on nearly all the cam sites. I’m so mad! They’ve been doing that to Right Side Broadcasting Network that I like to watch for breaking news, and then nearly all my JH cams are affected. I’ll have to replace them one by one as I catch a “live” one. Grrrrr! Time consuming.

[radu]

The meeting was good, as usual. We had two new gals join the group today and that made it even better.

The eagle owl cam is down during winter because it’s solar powered and it doesn’t get enough sunlight this time of year. It’ll come back on in the spring.

WTH is going on with YT??? I can kind of understand with Right Side Broadcasting Network because they hate Conservatives. But why your JH streams? That makes no sense!

[luvie]

It makes NO sense, and they aren’t just doing it to me, but to the person who had the original playlist!

They’ve spoiled many of RSBN’s live streams by flashing that thing up there for 30-60 seconds, sometimes right in the middle of something crucial. They and we the viewers have sent all kinds of messages to YT to no avail. I sent a troubleshooting message to them today concerning my playlist. You right-click on the video that has that black screen and choose “troubleshooting”...just in case you want to send them a message, too. LOL!

[radu]

Welcome to the world of Communism.
That’s what it all boils down to.
