I went out at lunch and got a 1-1/4″ spade bit to drill holes in the chunk of crabapple I cut on Sunday. The bit was almost long enough to go all the way through, and since I had the guide hole because the point did go through, I fudged it with a hole saw and a chisel. Worked fine. I couldn’t find the hooks like the one P used to hang the other plug feeder, so I just moved a shepherd’s hook and stuck it on there. P got heavy duty screw eyes, so there’s no danger of it being broken off or falling out unless a trailer hitch and lots of horsepower is involved. Again, it was dark, but…

I also tried to move the hoce I hung yesterday up a bit, but the tree had a curve as high as I could reach, so I ended up putting it back where it was. God, I hate heights. My feet are happiest on solid ground!
