While I was walking to the gym today, this amazing raptor landed....

And tucked into a lunch of pigeon it appears...









When I left the Gym the Falcon was gone, all that remained of the pigeon was bunch of feather blowing around, and a cleaned carcass...

This was in Levittown, NY... in the middle of one of the most densely populated suburbs in the US..Pretty amazing...

I'm not sure if the food is experimental or if it is actual 'lab'...

^^^ Awwww.....so cute!

Today I installed grab bars in my Mom's shower stall.

According to what I found on the Internet, the standard setup is 3 bars.

I bought everything from the local Home Depot....and only had to go back 2 times...ha ha.

I also converted her fixed shower head to a portable one.

And I put the seat in earlier this week.

The installation wasn't too bad. I used a tile drill bit to get through the tile, a mason bit to go into the drywall, and some heavy load drywall anchor/screws for fasteners.

I pulled on each bar as hard as I could and nothing budged so it should be fine for my Mom.

The vertical "transfer" bar also has an adjustable bracket on it to hold the shower head. And the other 2 bars are 'peened' to help with grip.







She turns 96 next month. Her renewed driver's license came in today's mail. Her hair looks bad because she's been stuck at home with a sore back after a fall at the end of November and hasn't been able to get to her hairdresser. But not bad for almost 96, huh?

Hit 16K in the Macan




They were filming in LA last night.... wonder if it's part of John Wick 3? Note the blurry NYPD police car passing by. On a side note... the trailer comes out tomorrow!
