Mits when you get to the zoo could you fix cam 1. Mei is begging for treats
Norma she did get a new car but it was not for her birthday
yeah I have emailed them about it, but it has been black for me for a about a week...thanks for the callover.
yeah, got the new car 2 months ago, got 2 heart-shaped Bamboo plants for Valentine's day
Oh yeah, well I got a car made out of bamboo and the windshield is shaped like a heart and it's driven by a panda...well, no, not really, I didn't.
Anyway, morning all:)
Yep going to get dressed and walk to the store. My friend Betty and I must have walked about 5 miles yesterday.
Oh, Ceil, you rock!
Thanks Steve...
and Ceil for the call over...
Steve knows about the Still Cam stillness...
it is not from the NCTC end...
so it will reset when the time is right...☺
that is the only way I can watch the eagles is thru the still now, live feed works well sometimes, but mostly it does not work for me at all.
HAPPY PRESIDENT'S DAY EVERYONE!!
Some brothers of GEORGE WASHINGTON settled in the CHARLES TOWN area...homes are still there!SANDY!---can you help me?---ho!
In case I don't see James I will just gaze upon my avatar, pic taken on Dec 23
Hi More Morning People...
I would take a new computer over a new car right about now
back to the debris field
Have a good day, all.
xo
Norma, Happy Retreat is one of the homes built by Charles Washington, founder of Charles Town, WV. he was George Washington’s youngest brother.
Sharon !
enjoyed reading about the lovely family times you had this week-end...
♥ Say Hi To T-Bird for me please.
Hope this is a day off for her, but figure, probably not :(
Better scram before Ceil
catches up with me ☺ xo
I RECEIVED several truck loads of SNOW for VALENTINE'S DAY!---I wasn't going to mention it---but I just had to let you all know---There was a HEART on top of the SNOW!!!
Mits, I was having a lot of trouble with the live feed, so I installed Firefox. The can is working now. Firefox prompted me to install something new--don't remember what--some video program.
I switch back and forth between Firefox and IE, depending on which one seems to work better. I just went to firefox.com and followed the directions.
Firefox did interfere with some Blackboard program I was trying to do for my class, told me to do something that seemed complicated, so I use IE for that.
I mean--the cam is working now.
Margy--"debris field"--I love it. I have several of those.
everthing works great for me on IE, except the live feed, so really don't want to mess with it, I have tons of stuff I watch all over the world, and would not like to lose any of it, right now with incubation it really does not matter to me, but would love to see any hatches if we have them.
Back to work on assignments.
Need to finish that stuff up this morning.
I was just glad hear the can is working....very important...sorry, how could one resist?
I usually have the live feed open on IE and do everything else on Firefox.
Thanks MEGAN!---We went on one of the HOUSE TOURS a few yrs ago!---I know there is another house too!--It's on the 'BIG TURN' coming into CHARLES TOWN!----That is a very historical area!---Beautiful homes!
I am using Firefox for the live feed and IE for the blog. Firefox even saved all of my favorites. I have icons for both right on my desktop.
There's also the Claymont mansion, which was built by a great nephew, I believe.
that's funny, Megan, your IE works for cam, mine does not, guess because we all have different computers of various ages, things are going to work differently....
Actually, my can is one of those water-saver things, doesn't work so very well, but that is another story! I was waiting for a remark on that typo!!
Well, it was sunny here, now cloudy. Looks depressing out there.
I caught it.
Yeah, got to have a WORKING CAN !!
Needed that laugh, Shirley and Megan ☺
SHIRLEY---Most of our schools are open today in WV!---
But I can only use IE for cam, I can't open any other sites with IE when I have cam up. I could probably use Firefox, but I like it much better than IE so I use it to surf the web.
I might try it....just need to take the plunge:)
Good morning everyone. Back from coffee and dog treats. I haven't tried to even open the cam or a can yet today so not sure what is and isn't working.
"Oh that can" yep thank the Lord it works".
And ya know if you want to play Kick the Can its much easier with a still can than a live one, for what its worth.
Hope your day is good and well I am not even gonna mention the weather forecast.
Sometimes I want to kick it, but
I would hurt my toe!!
Can't believe the schools close for Martin L. King but not for PRESIDENTS DAY!? Would have been a treat for students and teachers after the snow holidays...like icing on the cake. I haven't heard any school buses here, so maybe there is no school due to bad roads.
our county schools are closed for the holiday.
Shirley, I would kick mine, but my leg won't go that high;)
Capt. is taking me to breakfast and shopping for a computer this morning. One we ordered was not very satisfactory:(
Good morning again everybody! Happy February 15.
Firefox is really easy to install, and you can still use IE or Firefox, or both. My kid has been trying to get me to use it for years, cam finally drove me to it. And Paula answered any questions I had about it.
No school here today cause of the holiday.
I am available to kick anyone who needs it...for a small fee of course.
yep, I'm reading about FF now on their site, but as usual when I goggle my questions about it, it is 6 of one, half a dozen, of the other of people who love it, and people who hate it...but i might try it, since it lets me keep my IE, I have tried IE 8 twice and have not liked it, some of what I'm reading claims IE8 is better than FF, just individual taste I am sure, what ever works is what I want.
Bluefield cam is showing snow:)
OK going to download FF, if i don't come back, I have kicked the computer, or thrown it into a 5ft. snow bank.
Well if you throw it into a snowbank, I'm not gonna help you shovel it out.
MOrning, all!
Belle is back with MAJOR fluff, don't know how she'll find the eggs in all that.
Lib took off
What's cool about FF is that it will pull over all your bookmarks from IE :)
LOL is there such a thing as too much fluff!
Wanda - hope you find a better computer...sometimes you just have to go try them out...like shoes :)
Speaking of computers, I finally figured out what was wrong with my sound at work....now I gotta keep it turned down :)
Here a Kick! There a Kick!
Hope it is safe to come on in here!
lol
Don't know what I would do without all of you and your comments.
Before the snow comes (around 1:00)
hubby and I need to be out and about.
I'll touch base with you as soon as I
return. Early pm I hope!
Mits, the only thing you may have to install in FF is the adobe flash player that the cam uses.
It is just starting to flurry a little bit in Bedford.
My profile pic is of Andrew and Kelsey at a dinner on their cruise!
boo, I'm back I think....cam is running fine on FF..will play with this for awhile.
Yay Mits!
Belle looks like me at night when I'm trying to fix my pillow just night
incoming
great picture of Kelsey and Andrew Sharon ♥ ☺ ♥ ☺
Good grief, back with more leaves.
One can never have too much fluff!
And some more fluff!
here, I brought a stick and more fluff, so get off my back!!!!
awesome photo, Sharon:)
Megan
thanks for posting that Herald Mail link yesterday about Deputy Carroll's incident.
Journal today is unspecific about his injuries.
If nothing else than by mechanism of injury, being tossed overboard by a car, sounds pretty serious to me. Glad he had on all his protective things...maybe hard hats need to be part of standard issue next
You all please keep talking about what I cannot see at the nest !
looks like we have a new addition to road rage...
Snow Rage....
and snow plow rage
from what we take at 9-1-1 and what is in the newspapers
Woof !!!!
oh, didn't take the time to realize that FF will pull over all my favorites, maybe I will have the time to fuss with that sometime this century
gonna try to sneak a peak at live feed
Major tenting at CRC, daggone that looks like hail!
Bless thier hearts they are trying to protect those eggs. They don't know whether to expect 2 inches or 2 feet anymore, who does?
Good Morning All....hope everyone was able to celebrate Valentines day the way they wanted. Are we ready for more snow?????
Good morning all.
Norma, there is also Harewood, which was another Washington family estate. And, of course, Charles Town is named for Charles Washington---city founded by him, I think. At the Presbyterian Church, the original deed signed by Charles granting property to the church hangs on the wall in the vestibule! It is on Washington St.!
Love that wiggle wiggle!
okay took me 44 seconds to get my 10 seconds of eagle fix
Phyrfly, I did not, wanted the day off, no option. Did not get to see my favorite Valentine grandson James
It is what it is :(
Hello more Morning People hope that covers it
Going to make like Liberty and bail...need to get to Morgan County
Contined good wishes for all on here now, and for those to come
See you sometime, hope I come home to "live Still Cam feed"
xoxox ☺ ♥
OH Phyrfly, 3-5" is nothing, HA HA compared to what we have been getting!
Magpie, that is terrible...sorry to hear it. I hope tho you will be able to see James soon.
Well Belle is having a blast arranging and re-arranging all that fluff
I piled a whole bunch of books on my bed...active engineering controls, so I don't go for a nap.
I am so tired, but expect to get some energy from James..and maybe the five cups of coffee I have been slugging
TTFN
Ceil, don't say a word...I came back, but no more ☺
Well, actually, go ahead and say someting... I love the attention ☺
Wanda, schools closed for the holiday----some counties cancelled holiday to make up snow day. Ours probably would have done the same, but roads still too bad, and buildings have not all been inspected yet for safety.....may not reopen til Weds., at least.
Mits, hadn't heard about your new car!! Was that your Chirstmas present? What did you get?? What color??
hubby asked me this a.m. how much snow predicted here, in DC, told him 1 to 3, he said inches or feet....silly goose.
James (Morgan County WV) would not have had the P-day holiday, it is actually a teacher inservice day
but he would have probably had a snow day regardless
Way to go Mits, hope FF works great for you ☺
Lynn...
Hope Rick continues to do well...
okay bye
Thanks, Mits...had checked BLuefield about 8:30, and even tho' it looked like it was moving in across the moumtain, I didn't see it falling or on the street.

Good Morning,
EveryonE ....

Jim
food?
Margy, be careful! Very careful!
BTW---Rick now has MRSA.
Jay is f-u-n-n-y, Mits!!! But he DOES have a point.
Computercide? Mits I heard you threaten cumputercide.
Almost sounded like Hidey was back at the nest. I think Belle was hungry.
Well alright now, that nest cup is really built up. Love it!
Most of the snow is gone from the nest, too. Would be nice to see more of it nearest the nest gone.
Dana just called...her eye has been infected again, so has not been able to see to blog. She says hi, and is eggcited about the newest egg.
i DON'T SEE THE second chick at CRC ....eating time there
Dad's turn at CRC.
Our nest - Now, that is an egg cup! whoo hoo, can't even see those little rascals!
HEDGIE!---LISA lived in CHARLES TOWN for a 3 or 4 yrs!!---Lots of interesting history in Charles Town!-- Courthouse where JOHN BROWN was tried! He was hung on one of those side streets! --Lots of interesting history in the area!
shame about Dana's eye, hope it heals soon.
eagle up and eating what looks like nestovers, can't see the eggs, too much fluff
Good Morning Everybody, I am still down in the dungeon (Basement - nestoration). Just came up for a breather. Wanted to check on Lib and Belle.
Is that lib on the eggs? Where did all the fluff come from? Wow, Is that new fluff or did one of them find fluff mine. Maybe...everything is melting..the nest is more exposed.
Heard you are getting more snow. I hope they are right about 2-4 inches. (not 2-4 feet) That is a lot better than what you have just had. I feel so bad for all of you. Living in Maine we get lots of snow, sometimes even 2-3 feet. We are use to it and are better prepared for it because it's part of our winters. You learn to have fun with it. Have to be honest with you as I get older it stinks.
Be back soon. Have to play catch up. ^..^
---One EAGLE flew off the nest---the other EAGLE is eating & eating like crazy on the other end of the nest!!---MUST BE TASTY!!
the camera is not loading for me. anyone knows what is happening.
never mind there it goes.
Norma, have domne the tours, too. I love CharlesTown and Harpers' Ferry and S'town. So much history, for sure. More expensive county to live in, tho', than Berkeley!
Back from a quick read.
Magie, so glad your neighbor is home form the hospital. I pray she is doing well.
Mema Jo, My visit up to the children/grand babies is just postponed. One of the Grandchildren came do with a flu/virus. Hubby and I decided it was not worth traveling 3 hour up and 3 back to come down with flu/virus today or tomorrow. Our little one is doing better but still sick. Poor little bugger.
PA-Nana, I do love my ragdolls. Will show some pics when I have all my stuff input into this computer. Had a orange tabby for 17 years. Had to put down due to kidney failure last June. It was old age. He did great with it for almost 2 years. They let you know when it is time. Miss him so much, but know he is in a better place.
My ragdolls names are Noah and Annabelle. Noah was the best altered Ragdoll in the northeast division. He love to show. Was a real ham. He is a Supreme Grand Champion. Annabelle didn't like to show.I did Champion her, but if she didn't like it I wasn't going to torture her. I am very proud of them. I will stop on my cats now, because I can get to excited about my Babies. They are older now. Noah is 12 and Annabelle is 10. Ragdolls are nice cats. Very sweet and act more like dogs. Okay, Okay..I will stop Sorry, see how I get.
Judie, has your new washer arrived yet? If not, I hope you get it soon. Seems like you need more when you don't have one.
Be back soon. Hubby is home for lunch.
She is really busy moving everything around her nest & in the nest cup!!---moving her fluff & working herself down in the nest!!
WHOA!---I have a BEAUTIFUL ROBIN!!!---& it has just started SNOWING HERE!
Lib brought in food dropped it off then left, belle eating now
What? Did Norma use the s word?
MORNIN' RAGDOLL!---I love your AVATAR!!--I also checked your RAGDOLL CATS!---I have never been a cat person---but your CATS are really cool!--Certainly wish I could pet one!!
Hubby made both our lunches....Yeah!
Wiggle,wiggle......I think that Belle is on the nest now. I sometimes can't tell. Especially if they make a switch and I miss it.
MEGAN---I truly wanted to shield you from seeing the S_____ word---BUT IT'S BAAAAAAAAACK!!
did you see i have a robin in my shrubbery?
RAGDOLL---I am most sure that is BELLE on the nest!---I watched her for a while---'fancying' up her nest!---moving everything around!
ps--you married well---he fixed your lunch)---cool!
need food....
Just started s---ing here. Oh dear.
Snow flakes have started falling.......:(
I am not a cat person, s don't know much...never heard of a Ragdoll cat...guess I better do a search!
Snowmageddon revisited......argh.
Lib needs to bring Belle more food.He only brought a little piece of something.
I still have to put pics in, but again I have to find the time. My other computer was....are you ready for this..13 years old. It was so old that I couldn't save a lot that I had on it because floppies were just not in. Got this new one awhile back. I have had to get use to it (vista). Now I have to find time.
Help me out here...what's a snowmageddon?
soooo...nice to see the snow melt for Lib and Belle!
tHERE'S a new blog entry at SD Zoo today.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
"Snowmageddon" is a terms that has been used for the huge amount of snow we have had around the DC area.
. . . term
Didn't know anything about ragdoll cats. I did a bit of research. They seem like they would be really nice pets.
Well, my breather and lunch are done. Have to go back to dungeon. It's not going to get done this way. Would rather watch eagles and chat with all. "Perseverance" Head up, deep breath, smile.
Hello Jim.
Be back later. ^..^
Snowing at the nest
Both at the nest
I think Belle is telling Lib to beat it
Well, mom's back. Did Lib expect a hunk of fish? or have they already eaten?
Maybe he can gnaw on that stick Belle brought in.
It's hard to watch them with all the duties of the day.
Yep, snowing here for about half an hour now.
Norma, I have had robins here for weeks, they love the holly berries. Of course, the mockingbirds do not want to share.
He finally scrammed, LOL
Up for quick check of eagles. It's snowing...Bbooo Hissss! Both on nest. some chirping. I think there is more food needed.
BBL ^..^
That is exactly what Belle was telling Lib - my turn, get out! :)
Belle says: How can I raise these babies without daily sushi? Get going!
Why is the trash can still on my post?
The trash can always sits on your own post so you can delete it if you decide you want to.
Snowing seriously here.
Yes, BEagle, I think that is exactly what Belle said.
Okay, so I came back for a minute. With the snow flying I wonder is Belle is laying there thinking "Oh no..not again..Please don't hurt this one. My heart couldn't take it again"
Hang on Belle, it suppose to be a small one. Prayers for Belle and Lib.
BBL ^..^
They said we were supposed to get rain here--at least at first. It is snowing big time.
So you can trash your comments if you need to.
So I can see the trash can but you can't?
I HEAR A TRAIN! :)
I don't hear the train. I like trains and their whistles.
My great uncle was an engineer on the B&O.
I do hear a plane flying overhead at the moment now.
I'm hearing a train now!
Right, BEagle---we each can only see our own trashcan.
Right, I am hearing a train and a northern flicker now!
Except for Normabyrd and she has no trash can.
Thanks Hedgie and all you Pros at blogging.
4 deer out here...two trying to pull down a small tree that still has some dry leaves on it. They are surely also thinking NOMOSNOW.
Is the northern flicker a bird that you recognize by the sound of their song?
Yes, and you will often hear flickers at the nest area. They are very common here.
You can believe that this has all been a hit and miss for us. We didn't have a clue what were doing either when we started, well most of us anyway! :)
Hi, Everyone!
HAPPY PRESIDENTS' DAY!
Sitting here waiting for Sis-in-law to arrive. We're spending the day with her. Hubby has the day off today, so want to make the most of it. Not going to Palm Springs, though. Maybe heading down south to find something to do. Supposed to be nice weather today.
Judie, when do they deliver the new washer? Tomorrow, I hope.
Oh, no--don't tell me it's s---ing again at the nest! Poor Belle! Hang in there, Belle!
Ragdoll, I'd love to hear more about your cats. I'm really interested in the Ragdoll breed--wish I could get a couple of them!
They're beautiful, and they're personality sounds really cool! Will be patiently waiting to see some pictures of yours.
Well, gotta run--will be back later tonight to check in and say hello. Hope you all have an enjoyable, warm and safe day today. Prayers for everyone being said! Later, alligators! :o]
My mother used to love watching the birds and fed them peanut butter and suet. If she were here today, she would be glued to the eagle cam without a doubt.
She would get upset that the squirrels would get into the bird food.
I have returned home - I think the snow on top of South Mountain followed us right down to our valley. Looks as though it is getting serious now.
Need to read about 100 comments...
Hope all is well..
BEagle, I fought a few squirrel battles, too. Right now, I feel sorry for the little rascals.
Pretty female cardinal outside my window now.
Belle is getting snowed. It would be nice to throw a canopy up for her.
TCB.......later.
Raining in Richmond; snowing in Quantico and Fredericksburg. Snow building up in the nest.
We will remember this winter.
Love the cardinals. The females are pretty with their demur ruddiness.
Now TCB. : )
We have always had a pair of cardinals at our feeder. Love to see and hear them. I have been seeing titmice, too. One was making a noise breaking open seeds earlier this morning. I think I'll get out there and take care of the feeders while I can.
Demur should be demure. The tufted titmouses are sweet and the chickadees.
Belle is really getting covered.
I'm getting inspired to put some food out for the birds and see what I can draw in.
I read that if you put cayenne pepper in the bird food, it has no effect on the birds but will keep the squirrels out. Have you heard that before?
Speaking of cardinal.. Have you seen on Loretta's personal blog the "King Of The Hill" photo. It is
the bestest.
Awww, she has her head tucked back in....better snooze while she can!
Yes, I've heard that about cayenne pepper before. It doesn't bother the birds at all.
I have a bird feeder outside my kitchen window. We get titmice, cardinals, nut hatch, flickers, black cap chikadees, grosbeak. Even had a towhee before. But my fav that visited last winter were 2 pileated woodpeckers that were eating the berries off of our crab apple. We don't have as many berries this year. We also saw a scarlet tanager way up in a tree in our back yard.
And I love to watch the daddy cardinals teaching the babies how to eat. It is so amazing.
If I use the cayenne the squirrels will get upset and bang on my window. We just do not get along. (But I still brake for them.)
Flakes big enough to scare a basset hound now.
Snowing in Morgantown...here is a cam from behind Ruby Memorial Hospital if you are interested in seing it snow LOL
http://hsccam2.hsc.wvu.edu/view/index.shtml
SHAKE OFF
Beautiful tenting
Didn't get to see the egg cup this time
Good grief, I can't believe it's this late!
And snow flurries here!! Help! Think they are supposed to be light.
Finally finished pictures--so all my 2 blizzard sets are on Blog.Had some more Park pics. Now I go TU & will see if there's a different creature!
Boo--dentist's nurse called. They want to reschedule extraction!Tooth doesn't hurt, I want it!!No appt. yet--I can head for the border! LOL
BEagle----cayenne doesn't work!! Squirrels are even immune to the stuff that they try to sell commercially!! I've tried it all. n I even "painted" Tabasco on the plastic shelving on my grill---and they still kept chewing!
Both in nest...talking- then out flies Lib again.
Posted a pic of Belle tenting. But you don't have to go to my blog to see it right now.
Lib showed up for a moment.
Phyrfly, link doesn't work.....???
NN- love your King of the Hill. Saw it last evening.
I've been going ever since I got up this early am - Going to put my feet
up!
Phyrfly - I can't get that url to open
Beagle - What does 'TCB' stand for?
BBILW
Hedgie. I have some 40,000 BTU on hand. Do you suppose the commercial product isn't as hot? Maybe I can opt for the 90,000 BTU.
Purfly. Your address didn't work here either.
Just saw the egg cup. All I see is the egg and no snow! Yay!
And the wiggle, wiggle!
Belle was up and grabbed a quick bit of some nestovers while the snow has stopped
TCB is take care of business. It is hard to pull away from the pretty tent on the nest. She's protecting and warming the babies to come.
TCB now. Later
Here we go:
WVU Cam 2
Nope, no go. Maybe can't view it outside of your network...
Sorry about that :( I didn't know.
Loretta love the pictures. The king of the hill is gorgeous.
Nice shake off, digging in the fluff, can barely see one egg...did see both awhile ago...
wiggle wiggle, just love that !
I sure hope Margy decided to leave Berkeley Springs early.......
Wonder where Lynne2 has been??
snowing in Baltimore. Weatherperson says it won't be much and it will more fast. It is not moving fast enough for me or Lib and Belle.
woo hoo Lynn....got the mental telepathy thing going...ask and here I am!
Been preoccupied with various things....been trying to catch up on the blog this afternoon. Been reading, cleaning, laundry, cleaning bird feeders, walking the dog, breaking up ice, blah blah blah. Had my 6 week follow up appt for my elbow today (a little late) and all is good!
Choo chooooo!!
Hey Lynne - like the nice summery pic...maybe we all need to think spring!
heard the choo choo and the airplane and watching the bird roosting
Have blog on FF and feed on IE, so far so good for now
Made it up on clear roads and back on snowy roads to BSprings
Nice to get this visit in with James!
Barely snowing here now.
LOL....anyone seen the new Radio Shack ad for the Blackberry Curve SmartPhone? 2 singing EAGLES!!! Cute!
Hey, Lynne and Margy! Glad you are on!
Live feed makes a lot of staticky noise and pretends that it's on but it isn't really :(
trying to refresh it now
Shirley - I think I will choose to FORGET this winter !
Lynn - I rang Dana up right after you talked to her...She said it was Sooooooo nice to hear a human voice when talking to you! She hopes to try to hop on later on
besides the blurry eye ailment, she sound good. She started our conversation with A BIG LAUGH about that Valentine's Card.
Hello Afternoon People ☺ ♥
By the time my posts post, it is going to be time for
THE SPLIT SOON !
oh I'm thinkin' spring for sure!! Mother Nature is NOT, however.
Our schools here in Balto. Co are closed now til Thursday
Not enough wind to see the Sycamore Balls blow in the breeze.
I am thinking STICKAMORE PLACE more than SYCAMORE PALACE these days
Shake off! Belle looks weary.
I see a tenting posture...
