New roof installed, including racoon damage repair and prevention. Wire mesh installed to help keep them out and other measures taken. New fascia installed with wire backing.

At one corner, there was even a hole where they tore through to make an entry.

Racoon remediation and prevention added around $2000 to the job.

There were several places they made entry. Had to take extreme measures to stop them. They also tore through the wood around the sewer roof vent stack.

Dealing with racoons is part of living in

Right now, we also have a mesh electrical fence around the house to aggravate them and try to keep them from crossing over to the house.

Hopefully they will give up and stop using us as one of their hotel stops. it's been a battle. It's been a war.

To keep them honest, they also didn't include a link as a citation. Additionally, science shows it's a quarter of a mile per hour of bingeing not 4 miles per 30 minutes from all greenhouse gases, not just CO2.

❤️ Life is good. Napped deeply for an hour, woke up to Jack snuggling up, grabbed a mega mug o' cuppa and "Key Largo" just started @ TCM.

Now, what's going on with ? 😉 Before I look, guessing @paul picked something Star Wars-ish.

I remember sneaking into Star Wars in 1977 with my older cousin Kathy. I think I was in going in first grade. She was babysitting me.

I like Mastodon social, but the lack of quoted posts still feels like I'm sharing with one hand tied behind my back. It's needlessly limiting, frustrating, and boring. It wasn't a question of whether I would move to Calckey, only when and which instance (of mine) I would move to. It's time to decide.

I believe it is coming in the next update, according to a recent post on the official Mastodon blog

Thoughts in my head:

🤔 a) They'll be here in the morning to start tearing off the old roof shingles and installing the new. I better go to bed early so I can get enough sleep

🤯 b) Oh crap, my Mastodon timeline is filling up with people from the UK.

😔 c) They'll be here in 5.5 hours to start tearing off the old roof shingles and installing the new"

For how long as the GOP screamed, 'Send troops to the border?'

Biden is.

Now, at a news conference, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., slammed the plan of sending troops to the border.

I think I still have that setup minus the stand in the garage in boxes next to the old Sound Design stereo, record player and cassette deck.

I think I even have boxes 9f 8-tracks and an 8 track player out there.
