Doug's Project 365

…or just the core of a head of lettuce?  You decide.

We picked up our second Chestnut Farms meat CSA share today.  No roast this time, but lots of steaks & chops of various descriptions, including a maple-cured ham steak that we’re already salivating over.

I spent a good part of today putting together a photo book of my 2009 Project 365 entries.  While this process is relatively easy, doing it with this many pictures (and this much text) does take quite a while.

A couple of nights ago, I posted about Winnie’s new feeding-box door (RFID Winnie).  Well, it seems she’s still eating Parker’s food.  So we’ve had to remove all the magnetically-attracted materials from her collar, holding on her RFID tag and stainless steel ID tag with fishing line.

This box brings us fresh produce, every other Thursday.  It’s from Boston Organics, and I can’t believe I haven’t posted it before now.  It’s all the excitement of getting a package, except you get to eat it.

I made biscuits to go with dinner tonight.  Mmmmmmm…

Those who have been following this blog know that we’ve been having cat-feeding-box issues recently … first Winnie’s door broke so that it was letting either cat in, then Winnie’s replacement door had a stronger internal magnet, allowing Parker’s electronic tag (with a ferrite core in it) to open her new door. We swapped the doors, but Winnie quickly learned that she could now get into Parker’s box.  So we ordered a second new cat door (of a different brand), and we now have Magna-Parker and…
 

RFID-Winnie!

This magazine looks a little challenging for this evening.  Maybe I’ll just play games on the Droid.

Despite having sat unused for 21 months (we didn’t use it last season because we had a plow service while showing the house), our old snowblower started on the 2nd pull of the rope, and did a great job clearing this weekend’s precipitation.  This is so much easier than at the old house.

We had some friends over for dinner & a movie (Big Man Japan) last night.  What you see here is the traditional post-movie checking of IMDB and admiring of a kitty.
 

The movie was… weird.  Especially the end.
