Rain Chain in Action / Columbus water and Flickers

And here I was going to take a day off of writing  . . . but then it rained.

It started with a gentile rain and I ran outside excited like it was Christmas (the 2nd Christmas in 2 days)

SWEET!!!

AND THEN . . . .

Since we have had the deck built we have been hearing weird hammering off in the distance. Theilans construction? (I believe they are recreating Nortre Dame). The quarry?  All the other building in the area?  Once a day hammer hammer like a jack hammer.

This morning just before the rain we heard it again.  I went to the back window and opened it.  listened . . . . hammer hammer hammer.  WHAT IS THAT!!! 

I walked out onto the deck and listened.

HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER 

WHAT THE F*CK?  It's right above my head. I so slowly walk down the steps and look up.  A Northern Flicker is hammering on the metal eves trough! 

So I ask a Facebook bird group.  SEEMS - they hammer on metal areas to announce their territory and attract girls (where was THIS information when I was in high school).

Made coffee this morning.  We have been drinking Costa Rican using filtered Columbus water.  This morning I ground the grounds and was lazy and used tap water. 

DJ asked  what coffee is this?  It taste's "Grassy".  I said - - yea it DOES taste "grassy".  I made another few cups but with the filtered water.   PERFECT!   I really loath Columbus water. Can't use it for brewing beer either. 

Later!
