Knife and a potato.

I only kept one souvenir.

 

[K.O.D.]

I've got a "dinners ready" bell on the back porch, but that means I have to get dressed, go downstairs, and go outside. That might be too much for one day.

You mean you get dressed to go outside?

People like me who live out in the county don't even do that sometimes

True story.

You haven't really lived until you've chased a raccoon down your driveway at 2 am in your underwear emptying a 1911 mag at it so it will stay out of your trash.

That's pretty close to what happened with a coyote the other week, except it was freezing outside and I was bare foot in my underwear. City folks just don't get it

(Shameless line theft from farmers only)

Wait. Underwear? whoops.

Wait. Underwear?

We don't get to chose when opportunity to kill a coyote comes a knocking I'm sure some one will scream poor coyotes but let me tell you, they are a nuisance predator. Eat your dog or chickens or young livestock. I'd take one any chance that pops up.

I did.....but 7th or 8th shot. It was hard lining up the sight picture while running. A reflex sight would have been a game changer.

Yup. Nothing like standing in the stark trying to get a bead on the ‘yote. Been there done that. Haha.

Up in northern Michigan they ate my neighbors dog, was a furry blood stain in my field. They'd go after anything they think they can kill. I know they perform vital function in the food chain, but if their numbers get to numerous it becomes havoc for deer, dogs, lambs, just about everything small to medium size depending on size of the pack. But you probably have your share of them up there and now that already.

I do.

There was a study by our Federal Wildlife Conservation Authority a few years back. Guess what they found?
Coyote fur is the most replenished fur on the planet. Not only do coyotes have pups during their breeding season, but if a coyote dies out of breeding, the alpha female will have one outside of breeding season.
It’s the reason we have had an impossible time throughout history to eradicate them.

To all the coyote fur “criers,” give your head a shake. Lol.

Edit to specify fur.

Just catching up on some past requests that were missed.

Tape/cassette player. Sorry....couldn't find tapes.


Fireworks. This is what I had in my gear room. Didn't want to run out to the shed. It's cold with 60 mph wind gusts.

2 true stories:

1. Hot summer night... doors open. Wife wakes me up with "Don't freak out, but...." My eyes bulge open thinking holy shit, what? She leads me to behind a planter by the dog food/water. A possum had wandered in our wide open door and was "hiding." I got him out carefully with a broom. Non issue. Big Sur livin.

2. We had a rat in the house. Found it had gotten in through a hole in the wall where the propane went to the oven/range. Plugged it up, essentially trapping it inside. For 3 days/nights it wreaked havok scurrying around making noise, knocking over wine glasses at night, etc.. horrible. It became starved, I deduce, because one morning while my wife and I were brushing our teeth at our kitchen sink (only sink in house) it appeared on the windowsill. I grabbed a teaspoon, slowly walked up and popped him directly on the top of his head. His arms curled in and he fell over like a cartoon, dead. Again... Big Sur livin. Most bad ass moment of my life.

I think of these things every time people tell me how "lucky" I am to live in Big Sur.

This "no girls" drawing is my absolute favorite thing hanging in my shop. It was drawn by my youngest son when he was 3 or 4. It was an unsolicited drawing. It makes me smile every time I look at it.



I'd like to see 2 folders and 2 pez dispensers. Preferably arranged/stacked in a clever way.

J. Doyle if you get a photo of a missed callout, you can snipe and call the next, as per rules. IIRC.

Exactly what I’m doing! SNNNNIPE!
Knife and double barrel

How about a knife and your favorite coffee tote for work.
