    NB>> And have the chicks hatched yet...?   
      
    MK> Not that I've seen.  I am predicting mid June before they show   
    MK> themselves, or at least the quail and their chicks.   
      
   Mid June would make sense...  :)   
      
    MK> Also I haven't seen any humingbirds within the last couple of weeks,   
    MK> male or female.  I am not sure this is a good or bad sign.    
      
   Probably nothing to worry about... I'd guess they are tending the   
   nest... and not venturing out much... maybe more in the evening for   
   insects...?  I don't suppose you have one of those sugar water feeders   
   set out for them...?   
      
    NB>> And hummingbirds are so tiny it's hard to see their nests   
    NB>> anyway... :)   
      
    MK> From what I've seen of pictures of their nests they would indeed be   
    MK> near impossible to spot, especially in the bush in question.  I   
    MK> haven't seen any activity there since the male was doing it's mating   
    MK> ritual way back when.  I am not sure if he decided to move on to   
    MK> greener pastures, sort of speak.    
      
   Or they just aren't making such a splash at the moment...   
      
    NB>> and took at gander at the scotch selections   
      
    MK> I haven't done that since checking out the price of the local   
    MK> (Campbell River) single malt.  As you can see below there is plenty of   
    MK> time.    
      
   True... and I don't expect to need to actually purchase anything in the   
   meantime,. or even for... ;)   
      
    NB>> there were 1.75 liter boxed bottles of Glenlivet 12, for a bit   
    NB>> over $100...   
      
    MK> The largest size they carry here is 750ml.  Given the size and   
    MK> accounting for the exchange rate 100 USD sounds about right.  However   
    MK> I agree with you about dropping that much at one time and would   
    MK> probably stick to the 750ml size. Maybe this time I'll try the   
    MK> Glenlivet Founders Reserve if the local store is carrying this time   
    MK> around.  We'll see I am sure.    
      
   I believe a friend of mine had occasion to try the Founders Reserve, and   
   wasn't particularly impressed with it...  And from reading the box, I   
   didn't see any reason to consider purchasing it, even in the future...
