Here's what I found when I searched for ''bird feeder hook for deck post":
This may not be the only brand of them, I can ask the folks at Wild Bird Habitat in Lincoln about it tomorrow.
We had takeout salads for supper.
I'm making honey wheat bread again today, just came out of the oven.
We both had big salads for supper. I'm trying to get back on the keto diet again, it's challenging
If you have a Roku device (standalone streamer or TV), the camera is currently on sale for about $40, though the cloud storage is $3.99 a month per camera. You probably don't need a Roku device just to view it on a smartphone, though. You do need a wifi network.
That's still a small fraction of what we paid to upgrade the cameras installed around the perimeter of the house and they don't cover all the possible views. I might be getting another Roku camera or two.
For a year or so we had a Cooper's Hawk patrolling our back yard, chasing birds and squirrels, and possibly rabbits. Based on feathers and fur I've seen in the yard, I think he was doing OK. I haven't seen him up close lately, but I think I saw him in a neighbor's tree last fall. He did crash into some of our window a couple of times, and spent about a half hour sitting on the balcony railing driving the birds and squirrels crazy once.
Last night I saw another fox on the deck and a couple of raccoons standing on the back patio waiting for the fox to leave. I was expecting some kind of confrontation, but I think the fox slipped past them.
I know the foxes have caught a few rabbits, we've heard them squealing several times. I don't know if the vixen had a litter this year (last year we had a pair of them), I haven't seen any younger foxes yet but they may not be ready to be escorted around by their parents yet.
Yes, the hanging feeders are attached to the railing, using a pole with a hook, one we buy at the store where we buy our birdseeds. Here's a close-up of how they attach to the railing:

This ought to keep us going for a couple of weeks.

I made several quarts of chicken stock yesterday using bones from a chicken I had roasted last week.
That must have been something that happened when I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. They're randomly generated but I'm not sure what is used to 'seed' them.

I tried a suggestion I read on Reddit (r/pizza) and I buttered one side of the dough after it was rolled out, then I put a parchment round on it, flipped it over onto the peel and loaded it with toppings. It slid off the peel into the oven easily without any flour or corn meal as lubrication.
After 5 minutes, I pulled the parchment out (in a 475 oven it would probably not have burst into flames but might have singed.)
Made for a crisper crust on the bottom, which was the goal.
Here's what the underside looked like:Limited the toppings to sauce, some diced red pepper, some pepperoni, green olives, mozzarella, cream cheese and a sprinkling of romano cheese.
