I'll be keeping mine out for awhile too for all the passers by that haven't gotten this far south yet
-
I have 3 feeders out with 6 birds fighting for control. No change from the last 2 weeks, mostly had 4 birds all year up until then.
-
I haven't shot one but Hickok45 has. Maybe this will help you some.

Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a family member but friends are hard to lose too. You actually choose them to be close to.

I had a red wasp and a few yellow jackets feeding on one of my feeders almost 24 hours a day and running the birds off so I set out a wasp trap which worked well. No more wasps or yellow jackets and the birds eat in peace. At least from the wasps, the other birds still fight over it. The trap is cheap and easy to make or you can get one at Lowe's. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Wasp-Trap

I've read that the red coloring is bad for their kidneys. I make mine just like Peejman.

I have had 3 birds all summer but now I have 6. Maybe they have already started migrating south.

I'll be watching from my back yard.

I just got back from Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. They are expecting 300,000 visitors to the park for the eclipse. If you go there make sure you have a full tank of gas and food in the car. They don't think they will have enough gas for everyone even though they will fill the storage tanks full before the event. Restaurants and stores will probably run out of food too.

She needs to be reimbursed for any attorney fees that she might have ensued even if she doesn't sue. -
No reason to feel inadequate. You seem to have tried and experienced a lot of different things and that's commendable in my book.

I worked at the hospital in Paris Tn. for 30 years as a medical technologist (lab tech.). After 30 years I took my retirement and moved to Murfreesboro because my wife wanted to live there. Took a year off and went to work as a lab tech for 8 more years in Manchester. Decided to retire again. I think this time it might take. Spending my time now playing with my toys. Guns, bicycles, guitars and motorcycles. Rode my bicycle 6018.3 miles last year and am on track to beat that mileage before 2017 is gone. In my spare time I on occasion restore a vintage bicycle and made my first music cd this year of songs I wrote. Yeah, it looks like retirement might just take this time.

Good bike shops are like good gun shops. Give them your business so they can stay in business.

A good wheel set should not break spokes that often. If you have broken 3 spokes already I would consider replacing all the spokes next time you break one. Any good bike shop would be able to rebuild the wheel for you with some good quality spokes. I prefer Wheelsmith or DT spokes when I do a rebuild on my bikes. I have rebuilt several wheels over the last 40 years and never broken a spoke on them. Proper tensioning and good quality spokes are the key.

So we go out on our regular Thursday evening bike club ride and as we cross over I 24 about 5 or 6 police cars pass under with sirens and lights flashing. Then we hear gunfire from the car they were chasing. As we rode south and had to cross back over we saw the state troopers carrying AR 15s and going car to car. The Georgia escapees were on foot in that area after they crashed. That got our heart rate up even more than the ride. Luckily they have been caught.
