Eagle eyes, quiet

Last night when I got home Cindy and I were in the back yard.  She said she spotted a huge bird that landed just beyond the back fence line.  When we saw the white head my first guess was the bird was an osprey.  We walked slowly towards the fence trying to get a better look.  The closer we got the huge size of the bird was more apparent, bigger than any osprey.  The body of it seemed to be almost solid brown.  We only got within 50 yards before the bird took off, putting it’s massive wingspan on display.  Cindy and I are pretty sure we had our first bald eagle visit to the property.   It was very cool but of course I have concerns the bird was scouting out our chickens as potential prey.  We will be keeping our own eagle eyes peeled to make sure the beautiful but deadly bird keeps a safe distance away.

Our St Patricks Day was quiet as it normally is.  No alcohol was consumed, no funny green hats were worn, and I was totally fine with it.

This weekend I have to drag myself into the office Saturday morning to perform a server migration of our document imaging system which is a very critical part of our office.  It has somewhere around 10 million documents in the system so the migration could potentially be lengthy and filled with potential pitfalls.  The only good thing is if the migration fails I can always flip back to the old server if necessary.

The rest of the weekend I still have winter project list items to cross off and I would like to get some endurance training in either on my two legs or two wheels.
