Monday

 

Reacquainted ourselves with the satellite guy (David).  He spent all afternoon on the roof.  The dish equipment is predictably corroded as a result of our life on the beach.  Every fitting he tries to fix comes apart in his hands.  He has applied a temporary fix (think duct tape).  The more permanent fix will take longer (think more parts).

 

Got an afternoon woodpecker walk again.  Got a really cool bird; a LeConte’s sparrow.  That’s not a bird we usually get on our own.  The only time we’ve ever seen him before was with professional help.

 

Here is a picture of the sparrow.  This is not my picture.  I got that good a look at him, but he is an elusive bird.  My look was brief.

 

 

Tuesday

 

We stayed home from work to watch the Inauguration.  Quite a moment.
