Rain, rain...
It has been dark and threatening much of the afternoon, but started to rain just as I went out to do evening chores. Most of that is under roofs, so I only got mildly damp, but the noise of the rain on the arena roof seemed almost alien. Has it been that long?
Over the last weekend the neighbors with all the loose dogs and birds put up a new fence on their chicken/turkey/geese yard. Today the geese and chickens were over wandering around between our house and barn again. Guess the fence didn't stay up very well. The turkeys are just dumb but very noisy. The geese are aggressive and extremely noisy (they also poop all over the place) while the chickens just dig out everything you plant. Not much point in taking it up with them, they just don't seem to get it at all. I think she's providing fox food when it comes to the chickens. No wonder the fox sticks right around here in the spring and moves on after the chicken supply is depleted.
Two record-breaking days in a row on BOINC but it really doesn't mean much. Apparently Cosmology@Home was having database difficulties all last week, so the units everyone completed remained stuck in "pending" status. This week they finally shook loose and a huge lump of credit rained down. Normally I get between 100 and 200 points a day from Cosmology@Home, but yesterday I got about 600 all at once, and the day before 1080. Now 1080 is more than I earn in a typical day. My average day is 700 to 800 points. On April 1 I broke 1700. Yesterday I was over 1400 for the third time in a month.
