The local fox clan decided to use my leaf pile as their hangout joint. While they are a little jumpy they are not afraid of much and will bark at you (sounds like a dog coughing) before scampering away into the thicker woods and bushes.
We have a lot of rabbits in the area so the foxes eat pretty good. Sure they find smaller rodents too.
An update on #5 below. The hornets built a nest again this year in the same tree, but did it about 15 feet above my driveway on the lowest branch. My pest service came out and gave them the boot. That should teach them to stay in the penthouse suite.

Took a while, but I feel good about the cheers I gave out. Remember it is better to give, than receive (saw it on a fortune cookie once).
Cheers.

It is always the simple things that can be the most important. I read on a couple of web sites and in a book I have on Garage Band that “locking” a track will greatly lighten the load on the CPU. Another tip was to record with no effects and then play with effects after recording (also to lighten the load on that poor CPU). Just tried this and the quality of the little riffs I was trying to record increased as delays, hiss and the occasional pop disappeared, unlike my previous tries… Now to start building on that knowledge to generate a workable piece of music.
