Best day of 2025 today.

Heard and then saw my first Red Winged Blackbird.

Glorious.

They migrate in the winter? They hang out in my yard all year round. See fewer in the wintertime but we see fewer birds in general.

Heading down in July!

Not sure. We started fostering greyhounds because it was a nice way to give back to the community (and we could have dogs without having to pay the miscellaneous costs associated with that). Odds are that we’ll stop fostering for a bit because my wife and I want to start having kids. Maybe once the kiddos are older, we’ll start fostering again or get a grey of our own. We have an order of operations here: Finish PhD > have kid(s) > get job > buy house with big yard > get a grey. That’s the plan, at least.

3 AM while sleeping was woken up to "chirp... chirp.." Thought I was dreaming..so just rolled over but the "chirp" didn't stop.

Franking smoke alarm battery was running out of juice. 3:14 AM got on a step stool to get it down. Kinda sucked. Yes, 3:14 AM sounds rather specific but I vividly remember it.

Memo to the smoke alarm.. chirp at me at when I'm awake not when I'm sleeping. Stupid smoke alarm.

We have been having the a similar problem. A very intermittent chirp, maybe once an hour, from one of our alarms that my wife can hear but I can't.

I changed one in the hallway but two more are way up at about 15 feet and it might be one of them although new ones were installed only about a year ago. There are also batteries in the thermostat and it showed they were low, so I changed those out this morning. Waiting to hear iffn the chirping has stopped yet. 🤦
