I've harvested, field dressed, and eaten squirrels, rabbits, ducks, geese, doves, deer, and wild turkeys.
Killed as humanely as possible, always thankful for the food they provided.
Becoming a vegan isn't in the cards for me.

If it was a nature break it could be no 1 or no 2.

100% Bob. Although, I must admit, I've never field dressed a vegan. I have helped a vegan undress in a field though.

One of our most active volcanoes just erupted.

He didn’t need to flush 10 to 15 times, did he?

Only if it was a vindaloo.

Was there no reward?

**microlight** · 12-09-2019, 01:51 AM

The reward was joy in the knowledge that according to the first law of thermodynamics, somebody somewhere must have benefited from 20lbs of free padding! Don’t know how that’s allocated though, looks like Bob’s got dibs on it.

Hi Mark

Hope you are all ok after the eruption on White Island.
The flooding is that part of the event or just bad timing..?

Not much point, really... Most of them are all bone and very little meat. I guess you could make a stock with 'em...

I'm sure I've seen this old Chinese saying in the thread before (probably posted by Racer, eh?): If you give a man firewood you will keep him warm for a day, if you set a man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Dunno, I just caught bits and pieces of the lyrics and thought that 'Yooouhou are making my dreeeams come true ...' kind of sounded like a love song?

But I wouldn't know, to be honest. My girlfriend of almost two years left me a month ago because after her second medication failed her severe therapy-refractory clinical depression got so bad that the vast emptiness that took hold of her squashed all emotions and feelings she had, for her family, friends, and unfortunately me - and she decided that she is in no state at the moment to be in a relationship. And told me she honestly doesn't know what the future holds and whether her feelings for me will return when she recovers. Now she's about a couple of days away from probably being admitted for in-patient treatment, because things are getting worse, not better. And I am just sitting here, no clue whether she will ever come back, or whether I would even still want that

Now, that's rough. Take care of yourself.

Yep. Music. And bacon.

(No, Bert, you don't listen to the bacon, you eat it.)
