His name's Ralph. He hates you, and takes great pleasure in waking you up.
Oh, the type of bird...that, I don't know.
For years now, I've had a woodpecker pecking on the 40-foot antenna just outside my window anywhere between 4:30 and 6:00am almost daily, from spring to roughly mid-summer.
Being made of aluminum, the loud clang-clang-clang wakes up the whole neighborhood.

Ralph - I knew it!
I used to have a bird that pecked at my window, which was as bad as it was inexplicable, but a metal pole? You have my deepest sympathies.
To think that people complain about cats eating the wildlife ...

I'm convinced it's part of some sort of mating call. If it's a contest between woodpeckers as to who can be the loudest...he wins.
He's also been making a lot of damage to trees in the area. Some of them look like this (not my picture, but you get the idea).

Did you know that if you rest one of your testicle on top of an empty beer bottle and hold a flame under the base, eventually it gets sucked inside.
If you did know this and you know how to get it out, please message me....urgently!

It'll be a nice change from their normal job of getting bottles stuck inside of other things out.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Do you just want to get it out, or does it still have to be attached afterwards?

Happy to answer but an inevitable (for me) consequence of not working is that I'm rarely up in time for the CCC!

I've been up for three or four hours by then!

They have a nine o'clock in the morning, too?  Is there actually a reason for that?

It is now largely deprecated and remains only to ensure backward compatibility with existing timepieces.
My sleep patterns are shot at the moment and I seem to eventually nod off at about the time OG wakes up.
So I for one would not be able to set a CCC which is secondary among the two reasons why I'm not going to answer it.
