Bats are great Bucky. I've got a half dozen bat houses out back. Love watching them at dusk in the summertime.

It's a no go on 3D printing a bat house. It'd be hard for them to grasp onto and roost. Wood is the preferred material. I'll bring home some scrap wood from work and make them with that.

Many people use 105MM ammo boxes for bat houses... thought about it but never hung one... 😟

The first message sent via Morse Code:

.-- .... .- - .... .- - .... --. --- -.. .-- .-. --- ..- --. .... - ..--..


Translation: What hath God wrought?

May 24, 1844. Samuel Morse sent the message from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to his assistant, Alfred Vail, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Was watching Modern Marvels and the episode was on communication tech. That's what spawned the random Morse Code post.

My Dad was a HAM radio operator. His call sign is K9JIG. We would joke with him. Dad your call sign is a dog doing a dance. I remember when I was a kid thinking I should get a license too. Part of the test was learning Morse Code.

^ Learning morse code was a block to me getting an amateur radio operator's license. Thank goodness today we have online "code to text" and "text to code" generators. 🍺

He had to stop the amateur radio when he got older and a pacemaker. Doc said, you cant be in your HAM shack (in the basement) transmitting a kilowatt of power, ya gotta step it down. It took the wind out of his sails. Before he died, he had some of his local HAM club members come in and take anything they wanted. The HAM shack was retired.

I have a 5 ish or 7 ish lb hunk of pork shoulder still on the deck but it's still frozen under some ice and snow. I didn't have room in the freezer so my thought process was to put it on the deck in a cooler. Let mother nature freeze it and I'll cook it later this weekend (a few weekends ago). Then the damn snow came a couple weeks ago and it's still out there. In a cooler frozen in snow and ice.

I Dee Oh Tee (IDOT) user error.

In hindsight, that was not the best call. On the positive, when this snow and ice melt away, I'll have a pork shoulder that needs to be cooked and I'll pull my pork.

Mmmmm... pork.

Ever tried pork belly on the smoker? I know I have posted this before, but pork belly burnt ends are just as good as brisket. I've also done them in the oven for a couple hours, covered, and then put them in the air fryer for 15 minutes or so.

Our next door neighbor does pork belly cubes that are absolutely delicious. Not unlike burnt ends and cooked with an Asian barbecue sauce. She grew up during Mao's cultural revolution so she really appreciates the availability of food and loves to cook.
