More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
Obligatory goat video!
Today was busy, I spent time up in the attic, but didn’t take pictures, chasing wires and trying to get things sorted. I spent some time hunting down a missing ground on a couple outlets. I found two ground wires not connected, and fixed them, but that wasn’t the final answer – still missing the ground, so more hunting is necessary!

Jarek, and the others, have been working on their typing lessons. There are a couple typing games on TuxTyping that they like to play. Here, Evan and Garrett look on as Jarek tries his hand at it.

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.

The loaves from yesterday’s post all done! I have two basic sourdough loaves, one jalapeno cheddar, and a sourdough rye loaf.

Today started early. Arya’s volleyball practice started up today, which of course runs from 0600 – 0800, which means we (well, one of us and Arya anyway) are up at 0500 to get her there.
A happy, but sleepy Arya, is ready to go to practice!

Another soccer practice. Randal enjoys being a big kid and playing as the goalie, just like big brother Evan!
Morning chicken video!

Smolder started out the day, as he usually does, by laying in the middle of the nearest walkway that he can find. He likes to ambush feet that are coming by.
