Off Topic Parallel Snarking

Hope it all goes well brother.

What kind of whiskey? Yep, we'll need some photographic evidence, of course.

 

The axe was wicked shahp:

 

nice stuff

 

Surprised that puuko didn't sell daiz. Really nice knife.

 

Oh, that puppy above ain't for sale.
But the next one might be!

 

You had one up like it then.

 

Crown Royal XO. Love the stuff!

They weren't that big but still fun. I uploaded 1 picture... This one's a mullet... The other was a gar... A little smaller than the mullet..

 

Bigger than anything I catch, haha. Er, I mean, yeah, that's the size I normally use for bait...

 

I actually think I saw it in the gallery, not the sales forum.

 

Damn, 7 more posts to 20,000. I need a life.

 

Just finished reading a book by Owen Chase; "The Wreck of the Whale Ship Essex". I never read Moby Dick, so I bought a copy of it that turned out to be a condensed kids version. I'll go hunting for the original some time soon. Knowing that it was inspired by the true story of the Essex, I had to find a copy of the former. Nantucket you say?

I am going nuts. Getting ready for spring turkey season I bought a new shotgun, Sumtoy choke, decoys, red dot, leafy suit, ammo, and calls. Still over a month out and these guys have been visiting the bird feeders a few times a day. OMG!

Hey all !! Been a busy couple of weeks but managed to read 8 or so pages of snark....

Congrats on a new bike, new house, not dying in a car accident...
Happy Birthday!
Good luck with the medical problems, truck problems, head gasket problems...
Nice knives, scales, etc!

I think that covers most of it.

We are finally done with "Spring Kidding". Our herd of 6 registered Nubian dairy goats is now 12 (since last Saturday). A few pictures.

Buttermilk went first on last Saturday. No sign of labor when we went to bed Friday night, 3 kids (one stillborn doe, one buckling, and one still wet doeling).
Buttermilk cleaning off Marigold (the doe that we believe is youngest)


Brother and sister: We'll register the buckling as Oermann Family Salvia Sage (Sal for short); he is the larger one on the right. We are going with "herb" names for the bucks and flowers for the does. ("Oermann Family" is the herd name) The doeling is Oermann Family Marigold (or Mari).


Sal and Mari taking a nap.


Me bottle feeding one of the doe kids (Lily). Her dam (Twinsey, or Texanna Twin Sisters) has CAE (a caprine lentovirus), so we are bottle feeding her colostrum and milk from our Buttermilk. I had to assist delivery Monday night since the first kid out presented with only one leg. After pushing it back in, I was able to deliver it stillborn, followed quickly by Lily. My wife cleaned her up while I tried to clear the first kid's airway to no avail. The next morning, we found Twinsey had delivered a little buckling during the night after we had gone to bed. A 6 or more hour delay between births is unusual, but clearly possible. No picture of him, but my wife did shoot some videos which I'm not motivated enough to try to upload anywhere... You can see them on FaceBook at "Oermann Country Store" if you want.


The final two came from Texanna Rosebud yesterday evening. Uneventful birth of twins, about 45 minutes apart, one buckling followed by a doeling. Both 9 pounds...the others were 8, except for little Mari who was 5 pounds at birth. Maybe pictures tomorrow. Tonight it's finish digesting the corned beef, cabbage and Shiner beer and get some sleep.

Happy Saint Pat's Day!

 

You smoke mullet WW? One of my favorite roadside snacks next to Cajun boiled peanuts of course and honorable mention to chicken liver and gizzards

 

I don't personally smoke it, I've never tried... We give the mullet to a friend who smokes it. This was the only one shot that night so I won't get any.. but when we have a better night it's normally a trade off... He gets enough for him and his wife and smokes some for us as well.

But I also love all the things you mentioned! They grow peanuts half mile from me... We normally get to pick what we want for free while they harvest, and boil them ourselves.... My brother's wife's family owns the land.

Lots of work though... Picking... Cleaning..Shelling... Sometimes I'd rather just pay 3 bucks and get a cup full lol

 

Dubz, you have a life......it's just that it's, ah. .. ... .. .here.

.....and wherever it is that you and your internet connection live in your IRL.

This place wouldn't be the same without cha.

 

Thanks man.

I wish this place was still hopping like the old days. I miss some of the people that used to frequent here. Hopefully there will be some new releases out soon, to stir things up again.

 

I think you killed the snark...or at least stunned it...

 

More than likely.

 

we need some new donated merch from KaBar to sponsor Beckerhead only contests. drive up the membership and frenzy. course, there's always a cutoff date

also contests to encourage signups in general...

and rewards for posts of the month/year maybe?

i'll hit of our buds at the 'Bar and see what they have to offer perhaps, and of course, when new stuff happens as it happens (we're the last to know), we'll see
