The man cubs are out of town for a couple of days visiting great-grandma in the Daytona area.

It was left up to me to occupy them while mom and dad got the car loaded.  As is typically the case, we watched cars and trucks videos on YouTube per Henry's request.

Crystal and I are still trying to figure out what to do with our free time.  She planted pots with lettuce and spinach and then we did a little local birding, picking up Black Skimmer...


Snowy Egret...


and Reddish Egret to bring the YTD species total to 74.


I have also been digitizing our family's 8mm movies from the 1960s and 70s.  We have come a long way from that vintage technology to be sure.  Next, I need to work up the intestinal fortitude to edit the movies and add a soundtrack.  Where is my old dependable buddy Daniel K. when I need him?

Crystal also made her first batch of homemade "yogurt."  Having tried it, I see no reason to buy yogurt from the store again, unless of course, we are on the road.

In two weeks we head north with planned stops in Daytona, Charlotte, West Virginia and other points unknown.  This should be an opportunity to boost our 2026 species count while getting in some visits with friends and relatives.   Oh wait... it's winter up there?   Yikes.   It was 62 degrees in Key West yesterday and the locals were out in their winter jackets.  The snowbirds from Ohio and Michigan were wearing shorts and t-shirts that showed off their spare tires with authority.  And, no, the iguanas were not falling out of the trees.
