Here are a few miscellaneous beasts from today’s Fraser Foreshore Park walk, in addition to the previous hawk, eagle, and woodpecker albums. It was great fun, but I’m tired!
I love how these wee fluffers sing up a storm!

Refurbed Mac Mini Still Going Strong
For a 90% PC/Windows user, I must say I’m impressed with the longevity of the used/refurbished Mac Mini I bought from Apple Canada on July 30, 2013.
C$679 in 2013 dollars for the following specs:
2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM (upgraded myself some years ago to 16 GB)
1TB HD
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1,536 MB
I have a NexStar hot-swappable HD “toaster” with a 3 TB HD connected to it via USB 3.0.
I have it driving a Benq GW2765 IPS sRGB monitor at 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution.
And I mostly use it for Netflix

Free Cat Toy Feeds, Entertains
Great cat toy for $0.00.
Yumi cut a small hole in the lid of a wee takeout container used for soy sauce or other condiments. The hole is just barely large enough for a piece of cat kibble to pass through.
Sora is learning to bat it around until she’s gotten everything out. Great entertainment for her, and us .
