@Molarduck @Breniverse thanks for the quick reply. I checked, and she already has a pass purchased for the event.

@Molarduck did you and the family have plans for this year's C2E2? I may have an extra pass looking for a good home.

Last night was a blast!! (Tickets courtesy of work.) OT win and an amazing performance by Jrue Holiday!

A collage of pics from the Milwaukee Bucks game against the Boston Celtics. Multiple shots of basketball players in game action, plus an obligatory post-game selfie from Andy as he was lucky enough to go on the court.

My first ever Harlequin Ducks!!!

I used to dislike WInter birding, but now I appreciate the hearty northern birds that only make it to Wisconsin in January or February.

Pics taken in Sheboygan, WI at the Lake Michigan coastline.

Two male Harlequin ducks in full breeding blumage. They're mostly covered in slate blue feathers, but they have orangish-brown sides and unique white patches on the sides of their heads.

A Harlequin Duck male standing on a rock next to the icy waters of Lake Michigan. It's plumage is starting to develop into breeding plumage, but it is not yet as vibrant as the ducks in the other photo.

Spent a few minutes this morning warming myself in the sunny spot by the window wile working on the Stringbean project! Lots of color switches on this little guy, so it's slow going for sure!

@loren Best of luck! Cold, but sunny (!!!) by me on Friday, so I may finally get back out there, too!!

We spent some of the time this afternoon playing board games and avoiding the snow.

Planted is fun, cute, and has a great (under-used) theme - houseplants!!! The game mechanics work well, and with final scores of 40 & 39, it seemed pretty well balanced!

The exterior of a board game box - Planed. Lots of nice art depicting avariety of house plants. Also, two pics of the players' final boards with all of their plants played, and other catds, too!

Got a start this morning on the Stringbean amigurumi!!!

It was a wonderful waterfowl weekend at Lakeshore State Park in #Milwaukee!

Thanks to everyone who has given in our year-end fundraising campaign! We are so grateful. However, the goal is still $28K short. Can you help before midnight tonight? https://waywordradio.org/give-now

If you live in the #Chicago / #Milwaukee area and have not had #Kringle, you are missing out on this #Wisconsin delicacy.

@daylightgambler @Gareth_JS great choices! Happy New Year!

All set for tonight's New Year's Eve board games! Starting off with Wingspan - by Elizabeth Hargrave.

It's our favorite way to combine the love of #birdwatching & #BoardGames. We use a house rule and allow bonus points if we play a bird which we've seen during the last year. It's a great way to relive fun birding moments from the last 12 months!

@ErinInTheMorn thank you for doing this! Recent elections here in WI have kept a dear friend from moving his family to Illinois. Our State legislation is always on the verge of doing something like this, but at least our Governor's seat is safe for a few more years.

Andy Tiarks boosted:

If you see me scooping flour, please don't talk to me. I need to keep track of my count - "One half. One. One and half. Two. Two and and half ..." - because I'll be damned if I'm getting out both the half cup and one cup measures. #baking

@Nickittynic totally relate to this post. Happy baking!
