You Got To Fight For The Right To Paaarty!
I've been having problems with a racoon emptying my bird feeders.
I decided to start lacing the seed with extremely hot pepper sauce in order to make it less appetizing (doesn't hurt the birds at all).
It worked for a while until the raccoon discovered the hummingbird feeder on the same pole. After eating some of the spicy bird seed, he washes it down with hummingbird nectar.
Apparently, this racoon made himself a party with only himself as the guest.
- Who knew raccoons had a sweet tooth!

Had a ride in this 1928 Ford Tri-Motor. What an adventure. It was originally flown by Amelia Erheart Transcontinental Air Transport’s first two-day cross-country service.

Cat treats feeder like a snack vending machine
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
I heard noises in the kitchen one day, followed by the sound of food falling in the cats feeding dishes. The automated feeder is on a timer and it was NOT time to feed them. It turns out that one of my cats figured out that she could shake up the machine and force the few tasty morsels remaining in the chute from the previous feeding. It reminds me of what people sometimes do when their bag of ...
Defending the birds from the vicious neighborhood felines
มุมมอง 5522 ปีที่แล้ว
Some of the neighborhood cats (and squirrels!) have adopted my front yard bird feeder as their own personal buffet. As I sat at my disk, I witnessed a cat flying through the air, catching one of the poor birds in mid-air. As I care for both cats and birds, I didn't wish to see harm come to either of them. Something needed to be done. I linked my smart home system (Hubitat) to my irrigation syst...
Cat Burglar - Caught in the act!

My wife found several earrings scattered around the house and blamed my daughters for rummaging through her jewelry box. They vehemently denied it so I set up a camera in the bedroom. It was the cat!

Jasmine - The Feline Food Bandit
มุมมอง 3443 ปีที่แล้ว
My daughter has an automated feeder which dispenses measured amounts of food to her two cats each morning, allowing her to sleep until a more reasonable hour. She started noticing that the feeder needed to be refilled more often than usual, causing her to set up a 'sting' operation to find the cause. What she found was that one of her cats - Princess Jasmine - had figured out how to unlatch the...
Hummingbirds' Fierce Feeding Frenzy
มุมมอง 3483 ปีที่แล้ว
I was wondering why my hummingbird feeder had to be refilled every day or so. I've had hummingbird feeders out for the past 20 years and never had to fill them this often. I left a camera running outside this week and now I know. These vicious and very hungry birds are relentless!
Rinnai Water Heater Automation On A Budget
มุมมอง 1.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
If you've looked into what's possible to get the most functionality out of your Rinnai tankless water heater, you know that the Control-R Motion Sensor is way more expensive than it should be. This video will show you how you can do it for 1/4 the price through the magic of Arduino and the ATTiny processor. Some useful links: Arduino code used, as well as the Fritzing breadboard layout and Sche...
Breakfast time for Pepper

Some people think we spoil our cats. Pepper is just too lazy to open the refrigerator and get her own yogurt so we have to feed her.

Driving down the road one bright sunny morning when a tree fell in front of my car! I was able to swerve just enough to avoid personal and vehicle damage. Had a been traveling a bit faster, that would not have been the case.
