Good Morning Folks. I don’t have a gaming post today because I really did not get up to much last night. I pushed corruption a bit in Last Epoch but spent the tail end of the evening hanging out with our neighborhood friendly feral cat that we call Greybie. Last weekend was the extended easter weekend industrial complex, and as a result I was off on Friday. Between the extended weekend and the weekend before that we worked on the backyard a bit and were able to get everything drug out of the garage and set up. Monday we had our first inaugural “Whataburger in the backyard” evening, which is the closest we get to cooking out. It is just nice chilling in the backyard. Really I need to do this more often and drag my Steamdeck or Switch out there, especially in the late evening.
My wife has been going out pretty much every evening and reading for awhile, and when she came in she commented that Greybie was hanging out in the backyard. I would adopt Greybie in a heartbeat but given how much he likes to roam… I don’t really think he would enjoy being cooped up in the house all the time. Instead he is my outdoor baby, and without a doubt… he is MY baby. So when I came out last night he was over on the deck and when I sat down he did this thing that just melts my heart… he started slowly walking towards me but as he got closer the walk turned into a trot which turned in eventually to a run. He has been living around our house since before the pandemic so it does not seem like he is going anywhere. Tripod the three legged Calico is also usually in the backyard, because she lives there full time… but yesterday the mowers came and she tends to get freaked out for awhile before returning.
I’ve been keeping tabs on the security camera to see if there were any Tripod sightings over night. She is sneaky as heck though and often times does not get caught by the camera. It is almost as though she knows it exists and is purposefully evading capture. There are times however that she will stand by the door to our bedroom and meow at us in the middle of the night… which I often wonder is what triggers Gracie and her late night screaming fits. I did catch another visit from Greybie around 2 am who appeared to just be roaming around in the backyard. I fed when I came outside last night, so he was probably visiting the bowl to see if there was still food. We often have Possums and Raccoons that visit the cat dishes on the front porch and backyard which is always entertaining.
So essentially… no gaming content today because I hung out with Greybie. I feel like this is the correct choice.
