Busy day today. And I had to wake up at 3:30 with a headache that wouldn't quit. Got a bite to eat and took my MaxStrength X-ed-run, followed by a cup of coffee. Feeling better now.

At 8:30, I'm taking the car in for repair. Something broke in the passenger side automatic window thingy. (Wouldn't you know it, as soon as the window control broke, the rains came in. Was able to get it up so the inside of the car didn't get wet! (Problem is, it keeps trying to sneak back down when the car is driven from the vibrations on the road). The shop has the replacement part. Dropping the car off, then walking across the street to meet DH for breakfast at the Diner.

I need to work up a draft flyer this afternoon to take to the Music Jam session tonight and coordinate a good time next month for our "pot luck". Our guy that organized this jam gave us a good summer of great music. The end of next month, it ends. :'( That is when the "Winter Texans" return. Someone else will take over. It will be fun, but the summer jam was locals who all know each other and are friends. It was lots of fun. I have taken photos and video. If I can get the time, I plan to put together a fun cd with music and faces.

So, mostly :hide: on and off for the rest of the day, unless time permits.

Have a good one! :}^

Marti what a sweet little kitty you opened Chat with today. That's adorable! Hope all goes well with the car today. I now they can be problems at times. Even if we went back in time to the horse & buggy days, there would still be some occasional problems creeping up on us.

Robin keeping :X: :X: crossed for you today.

Has anyone heard about Regan and how she fared yesterday with her surgery?

Marti so did you get up early or just never went to bed - sorry about the headache

hope all's well with everyone - special thoughts to Andie, Carole, and of course Reagan!

first scout meeting last night - lots of talk about their week at camp (can't believe it was nearly 2 months ago already) reviewed merit badges and advancement - 2 kids beginning their work on eagle scout and of course the scout who recently achieved the honor is preparing for his badge presentation in early Nov. OH BOY!

boss due in shortly and it will be crazy when he gets here so we'll see ...... but I'll try to keep up with all of you!

eaglepedia revisited

September 19, 2007

The turkey vulture is sometimes mistaken for a bald eagle juvenile because they are similar in size and general coloration. There is a distinction between the two however, which can be seen from a distance - turkey vultures hold their wings somewhat upright - making a shallow "V" when soaring and rock from side to side as they ride the thermals. Bald eagles hold their wings straight out from their body - flat - while soaring with only the tips of the primary feathers curved slightly upward! They also do not rock from side to side as they soar but make broad, sweeping circles as updrafts lift them skyward. At close range, the turkey vulture's small, featherless head which is red in adults and gray in juveniles, makes identification quite simple.

Thanks for your prayers Laurie and Deb, I sure need them. Woke up this morning feeling a bit better and within 15 minutes couldn't move. Took the Advil and am now going to lie down with the heating pad. My heart goes out to Andie, I can relate well to what she is going through, it's awful. Prayers for her recovery. :candle:

Marti, I also loved the kitty this monring. What a sweetheart.

Roy and Pat, a good friend of mine who just came back from Gold River, gave me the book called "The Eagles of Hornby Island". I absolutely love it and can't wait to make a visit up there. I also have a brochure about Tofino. What a lovely spot that is.
