This cat is a survivor and is an outdoor pet along with the dog.. in the country you NEED a cat unless you want a field mice problem... We've had probably 2 cats at a time in the 5+ yrs we've been in this house, probably a total of 10 cats have been taken by wildlife... "slinky" the survivor is a big sucker, weighing in around 11+lbs... Hes not really wild as he sleeps in the garage and purrs when you pet him :) and he does come when called and will follow you like a dog on a walk.. however he is wild by nature that surrounds him, he brings home and eats everything... lizards, snakes, baby rabbits, birds, mice, moles and gophers and everything between... this supplements his diet apparently, had a baby rabbit the other day I caught him eating...

seems every other day he eats a lizard alive. mind you, starts at the tail and works his way up including the legs he's not that into the guts, as he leaves it to finally die when he tastes a little of the innards.... miserable death for the poor sucker that crosses paths with my cat...

my dog was a stray dropped here nearby with her pups in tow, while I was building this house she would hang around so we brought her pups to tulsa where we lived and kept her... she's been one of the best dogs I've ever had and she was free!!! she has no boundaries as there are no fences here, though I only own 11 acres here on the hill she's surrounded by over 90acres of hills, trees and valleys.. but an animal in the country know not to travel to far from home as danger lurks... :)

I wonder how they are going to act when we get back to the city with a small lot..... talk about feeling trapped, looks like I'll be taking the dog for walks to give her a sense of freedom...

"they call me no-show Jones...." I still love old country music, I kind of lost interest in the 90's when it changed so much.
 
I think I've got some George Jones on vinyl...might have to break some out tonight.
 
Thanks guys, feels wierd that I'm gonna see my shirt on tv! I thought having having my info in blade magazine was perty cool.

thought I would share this idea with you all, especially all you leather guys. I had bought an eyelit press thinking I was gonna find some line snap setters... I got tired of always bending the studs on the 20-24 line snaps by hitting them with the hammer set. Found some smaller hammer set on an auction site. They are about 2-1/2" long. I modified them to fit the arbor press and it worked! No more broken snaps!

Another Beckerhead that won a prize in one of the Ka-Bar giveaway contests! I just won a Ka-Bar swabbie. This is pretty awesome. It's always fun to win something, but this is mindblowing.
 
Now the only thing I need is zombies. Otherwise it would be a waste of water bottlrs/watermelons/whatever people chop up in their youtube videos :D
 
congrats man! that is great. you can use it to fight off that thawed out sabre toothed tiger that you are going to dig up...


just remember we do require pics.. :)
 
Thine snarketh content hath been running low. I know when the weather gets better, there's less people on here.
 
So, my dad is an utter FAIL at delivering bad news. We were sitting there talking about how to cook eggs (apparently my uncle can't even make scrambled eggs, WTF?!?) and he says "Oh, Vic Sr. died" like just something to mention.

Growing up Vic Sr. was my surrogate granddad who really taught us how to sign and just was an all around really stand up guy. He was hit by a Senior Center bus being driven by a senior citizen ironically, and died a few days later.
 
Wow. The knife from the kabar contest was on my porch when I got home. That's some fast shipping.
Sorry to hear about your loss Cbear.
