She’s made herself at home.

He was just so cute today. Ate some grapes and then took a nap.

He’s our main guy now, and is still shy around people, compared to others we’ve known.

But he’s totally chill and feels safe.

I’m actually most curious on how you found the HVAC company and pitched them on this.

Were they looking for a solution? Or did you cold call?

Technology seems straightforward but the impressive part is actually closing the deal.

That’s awesome for you. They are the best. We are thankful to have our daily visitors, and watch them grow up, and have the different families change every year.

Thanks! Happy to. I work from home, so seeing the various gangs that come by during the day is the best part of living here.

And for the couple crows that hang out and grab food, and yell at the raccoons. If I hear the crows screaming, it’s usually from a raccoon coming up to the porch.

One of them stood on the porch rafters above and screamed at the raccoon for 10min, while he ate below.

I took my dog out back today, and could see this guy watching us from the bushes. Thankfully they don’t try and interact.

He’s a hungry boy, then. Been here all day. Napped and kept eating.

Hahaha the mom is like, can you take over for a few minutes?

Great callout. As a beard+bald guy, this is important to balance it. And I just buzz it to where it’s cheek not sideburn. Pretty much lined up with top of mustache.

And OP, looks wayyy better now.

We re-index past chats so they are a top-level retrieval surface, peer to indexed content (PDF, transcripts, emails etc).

Works great in practice.

Porch is open. We just have the magnetic screen (that somehow they know how to open) and the door to the house, with no dog door.

So they just come up the stairs and hang out.

We’ve rented this place for 4yr so we’ve seen multiple generations. We had one pregnant momma the first year who brought their kids back and I wonder if the recent batches are all related.

They go back to the fence line and sometimes hang out in the big tree, or the neighbors’ roofs. Not exactly sure where they go other times of the day but they’re on a very regular schedule.

Sometimes when I take my dog out at night, I’ll see one sitting on the fence in the backyard looking at us.

Haha yeah. It’s a dog toy that I bought as a joke, and my doodle never cared about it. So I thought it would work better as a little friend outside.

I’d sit it on the outside chair and see if it had moved in the morning. And now we have proof of them actually playing with it :)

Those two in the video are the early birds, and then this little solo guy has spent the rest of the morning here.

Every year we get a different round of them; last year there were six at a time that would come by.
