Himself finally found the parts to get our very good but older turntable working! As I clean out the house, I've been threatening to get rid of all out old vinyl. Now, all we have to do is weed out what we don't want.
Let's see, the DVD/CD player works. So does the amplifier. Now the turntable. He said now all he has to clean and hook up is the old VCR player. I guess we're living the real "back to the future".
Hilarious! "My Cousin Vinny". Yet another movie I missed as it's made the rounds. Need to add it to my library list.
I haven't seen this bird, but he's only as big as a robin. I might be the same owl as in the movie, but he doesn't sound like that. The sound isn't loud, either, like a small horse hiding in the trees. He/she is just a little guy, GG, and somewhere back in our woods. We never cleared the back yard all the way to the property line like many of our neighbors did, so there is at least 100 feet of wooded area, squared (the lot is 100x253). We've been host to many different birds, as well as a fox, lots of bunnies and chipmunks, and the plethora of...squirrels.
While we're on the subject of owls, here is so much cuteness to start off the weekend:

*sigh* I have a new love. No, I haven't kicked Himself to the curb, silly! We have a second species of owl in our backyard. As you all might know, Himself and I are pretty much night owls ourselves, so I get to hear all of the night critters out back. Earlier this week, night one of the calls started. The little guy has been calling out every night ever since. I'm afraid that, like the barred owls, once he finds himself a mate things will quiet down. Without delay, meet our new friend. Isn't he cute?

My little neighbor girl, who I've known since she was a wee babe, is now a full grown adult. She's visiting her dad. I banged on the door to deliver some cauliflower cheese soup. She was very appreciative! Dad doesn't cook, and she had a major hangover.
Been there, done that. But, boy, was that wedding of Himself's cousin sure worth it....she had a major hangover.
