Sorting through Photographs

The weather did not cooperate yesterday, so I will be installing the new batteries on my solar system on Monday.

I am continuing to go through past photographs.

This past week I have spent numerous hours waiting for deliveries that were scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled. First was a delivery from Amazon that took three attempts before they finally got it to me. First they said there was a dog on the property, there isn’t. I do not know the reason they didn’t make the second one. The package was marked that they needed a signature for some reason, so that cancelled the third attempt. The fourth time they delivered it, did not ask for a signature, did not knock on the door, just left the package. Great job by Amazon, not.

At the same time I was scheduled to receive my new solar batteries on Thursday, cancelled and changed to Friday, cancelled and changed to Monday. Monday I am waiting for my delivery to come between, 12 and 4. At 4 I called and am told they will be there around 6. At 6, as I am calling, I look out the window and see the truck going to my neighbor’s house, I hang up and run down the driveway to direct him to my house. He unloads two pallet with 2000lbs of batteries. I then have to secure them in a locked shed, they are very heavy. I will have to go back and remove the old batteries and replace them with the new ones. I am not looking forward to shifting 4000lbs of batteries.

The picture today I have re-edited a picture from 2018. A pair of Curved-billed Thrashers are protecting their nest from a Bull Snake. They would take turns harassing it and would jump out of the way when it would attempt to strike them. They were finally able to chase it away.

I am currently going through all my SD card and reloading them on my iMac. So far only one corrupted disk, I will try a few other ways to retrieve the information off of it.
