New peacock sound unlocked. It's pissed. It had a run in with Maddie (my dog) and I wasn't too happy about that.

Warning - turn your sound down - this thing is LOUD.

Peacock update.

I'm now angrily chasing it around the yard, Benny Hill style, shouting "GIT! GIT!" and waiving a broom at it. Sometimes in sasquatch pajama pants.

I wish I was joking.

It's still hanging around, it loves to roost on our deck at night. Or our roof.

How can you live like this.

Why is this so calming? There’s a whole channel of these, plus another about insects. I’m hooked.

The grocery run usually has at least one chuckle worthy item, but it was a bit scarce today.

Meow-y Christmas!

Still works! I don't know what else it would be worth using it for other than a nostalgia machine.

Has worse stats than a Raspberry Pi and consumes 4x the power.

Guess I could run old Windows XP games on it.

I did not expect to see Foreigner singing “Cold as Ice” on the same float as a demogorgon. But here we are.

My cooking skills are similarly chaotic. Just add cursing.

At least this year I didn’t slice the tip of my finger off or melt a plastic lid into the stovetop. So far.

Also this tree skirt was latch hooked back in the 1980s by myself, because I was cool like that. 😎🪭

My parent’s tree has been officially floofed.

If you see any unfloofed bits, keep your mouth shut.

My BirdNet-PI had been offline for awhile, so I stopped and upgraded it this week and there's been some nice improvements in performance.

It's finding birds again. But you know what it's NOT picking up?

Peacocks. Because Peacocks are sneaky little pooping […]

Let's start a thread - cute server cases. Practicality? Pffft.

Custom built ones get bonus points.

I'm just going to say it. Peppermint Patty is a jerk. Marci could do so much better.

He’s back. And scared me to death.

Taking Maddie out for her final lap of the night when I spot this thing hunched on the deck railing - long neck drooping down like some nightmare gargoyle. Asleep.

I startled it awake and got a full-volume demon shriek.

Why is this bird still here.

I didn’t want to jinx it, but I believe the great peacock invasion of 2025 is over.

Yesterday, I sprayed him down with water, and with an enraged honk, he left to dry off somewhere.

He has not returned. We have two very uncolorful feathers left behind.

And a ton of literal 💩to clean up.

Loving something with your entire scarred, unprotected heart is terrifying.
