I finished up the updating of this computer, got 20 Ebay things listed, as well as all the running around I did on the bike, so it was a busy day and before I knew it, it was 6AM and time to prepare for bed.
I woke up at 3 and had coffee etc and packed 9 small things to mail. The post office trip went fine, and since I had $20 on me, I stopped at H mart and got a package of lobster claws they had on sale, and a cleaned fish, and a package of Shirakiku ramen, fish broth flavor.
I found a bunch of bananas out back and took those to Tom, and we talked for a bit. He'd had a barbecue on Sunday but somehow I didn't find out until it was over. I told him if I'd known I'd have at least picked up some near-beer and come on over.
I came back here and had lobster ramen which turned out pretty well. I put the lobster shells and fish bones (I filleted the fish and got it ready to fry up tomorrow night) out for the birds and things, and in the area I put things like that, at the base of a tree I was sure is dead (it's coming back now) there were still these dried rolls I'd picked up and put up a week or more before. I guess the birds don't want anything that dried out. The crickets do, though, and it's a regular cricket party out there. So I walked all over the rolls and smashed them into powder to make them easier for the crickets to eat, and put the other goodies there.
I want to put goodies on the little overhang roof thing that's over the door here but I found a while back that anything put there is very easily visible to anyone driving in and out. It looks pretty silly having a bunch of pastry etc up there. So I'm considering getting some seeds that are a dark grey color like thistle or sunflower that I can toss up there.
