I went outside and found the raccoon had gotten into my trashcan again. I had a clear thought of needing a bungee cord in order to tie that lid down.

Grand girls came over. Had a great time with them. They helped me clean out the bird baths. Filled them up.

Then helped me clean out all the hummingbird feeders, stir up the sugar water, refill those and put them up.

Rode my bike 15.27 miles. May have been my fastest route ever.

While on my bike ride, I found the exact thing I was looking for to close that trashcan lid up. That’s what I call a “direct hit.” That when I think of something very clearly and then find it in a random place. Last time I had something like that happen was when I was thinking about foam to fill in the oak tree in my backyard. I also found that on the side of the road.

Fantastic clouds today.

Also saw some type of hawk during my ride. It wasn’t one that I easily recognized.

I used that cord to tie up the trashcan.Perfect fit! That sort of stuff happens to me all the time. It’s related to the “dirty money game.”

Listened to Harry Potter while I rode my bike.
This evening I went out to Stone Mountain to see the Neo Wise comet. I did see it, but it was very dim. I had my good binoculars with me. I’ve seen three major comets over the last few decades. Includes Haley’s comet, Hale-Bopp, and Kohutek. They were all pretty much non-events. I did a lot of research to figure out where to look for them but otherwise they were pretty much not worth the time except that’s just one of the things I do! It was still great to be out there on that Mountain, totally dark, by myself. The rock was still hot even though it was a couple of hours after sunset.
Kathy got a new job today. I’m proud of her effort. It will mean handling the grandgirls by myself. I do enjoy their company so much.
