Today was some long overdue cleaning of the barn owl nest box in our backyard. Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole - but a fifteen foot...maybe! Trying to keep my distance and not breathe the dust due to the possibility of hantavirus.

Hey @MikeyDiMercurio - I just finished, “Ambush of the Dragon”. It kept me company while in three countries - England, Italy and the good ol’ US of A. It is an excellent novel. Thanks for doing what you do, so well.

This is not as interesting as reading a @MikeyDiMercurio novel, but it is the tale of how the three Iranian Kilo-class submarines were sent to the bottom of the sea in Operation Epic Fury. I had not heard this detailed information prior to seeing the video.

Hey @MikeyDiMercurio - I am heading out for a trip to England and Italy with my wifey in less than a week. With all of this time on jets, I am planning to carry this book to help me pass the time. I figure by reading the physical book instead of viewing it on a Kindle, I'll get to do a little advertising for you.

Hey @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators , we believe our channel, Baby News Network, was demonetized by mistake. Every upload involves original scripts, unique visuals, animation, layered sound design, suspense building, comedic timing, and tedious manual editing. We’re creating satirical short films, not mass-produced content. We’d sincerely appreciate a second look.

This is a bit of a test. Not sure if I can post a slow motion video on X. I took this outside of my home and captured the flight of a Northern Mockingbird as it flushed several visitors at our fountain. Wait until his dive at the end, it is some fascinating flight.

I wish I had the skills to dance like Dan Ackroyd. This always makes me smile.

These were our fledgling Barn Owls in 2020. They didn't realize they are nocturnal birds, so we have color video of them out in the daytime. One is trying to coax the other to leave the nest box.

We have a bobcat that has been visiting our back yard. It has been up this pole twice to check out the barn owl nest box. So far, the barn owl has stayed away.

I am in the middle of reading PANIC SWITCH, written by @MikeyDiMercurio, and growing my vocabulary at the same time. Never in my life have I seen the word, “prevaricate”. And I have been around the Sun many times!

Hey @MikeyDiMercurio - I am sure it totally wasn’t your fault, but would you tell us the story about getting DQ’d after a jump flank bell?

Hey @MikeyDiMercurio - would you please explain something that is not clear to me about driving a sub? Why do you need to give both of these commands? “All ahead one-third, turns for three knots”?

Hey @MikeyDiMercurio - Have you ever visited the Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton? I realize it may not be that interesting for you because of your service to the US, but for us submarine outsiders it sounds like an amazing place to check out.

Very interesting blog by Jason Haas of Tablas Creek in Paso Robles. It inspires me to be more thoughtful about the wines I consume and the people and settings that help make the experience memorable.
