A chicken coop (at the mouse/racc house) that doesn’t get used. It isn’t my business why but probably lots of reasons. Bird flu being one (a couple years ago) but also just general maintenance issues.

My mouse lives outside the Planet Ann Arbor city limits so she can have as many chickens as she wants, including roosters. For a while, we had a neighbor who had chickens and there was a rooster. I loved hearing him cock-a-doodle-doo early in the morning but others did not and someone (Luke of Perry Net) turned him in. Make no mistake. I love Luke. He is a new granddaddy and is gleefully scouting all over the place for toys for his grandson. A great guy but I do miss the rooster.

The GG spent umpteen bazillion hours today trying to get our webcams working, here and at Hoton Lake. For complicated reasons I was involved in the whole thing even though I didn’t wanna be, especially since I was involved in stuff at work today that made big whooshing sounds over my head, They always say BAs (business analysts) are not supposed to be involved in “technical stuff” but somehow we are still asked to deal with that stuff.

The GG had another zoom meeting with North Country Trail folks tonight, this one with an Ohio chapter. I don’t know those folks as well as our home chapter, the Hiawatha Shore to Shore up in my homeland, I don’t join these meetings but I love listening to them from the kitchen. The cultural differences are fascinating. The person who was running tonight’s meeting had a “midwest twang” that another person couldn’t understand. I could understand it but then I talk to “Indiuh” every day, So. Everyone is passionate about the North Country Trail and that’s the important thing.
