It will filter out. Burning hydrocarbons generate some moisture too.

Let me see, get a ticket and take a "defensive" driving test and you walk??? Someone pulls out in front of me, I speed up to force them to realize the mistake. Someone uses the center turn lane as an acceleration lane, race is on. Someone stops at each leg of a round about, horn blows profusely. Was any of that on the Defensive Lesson?

Water is a constant, it evaporates into air, condenses as rain, as far as I know never escapes the atmosphere into space. I think there is the same amount on earth as we have had for a long time. It may be spread out more. It can be made.

Seventies and Eighties was a prime time for music. Aerosmith, REO, Fleetwood Mac, Styx are other greats.

Pain is just a figment of your imagination. Some people remember it more than others.

My Uncle has this country place, That no one knows about.......

Neil Peart, the drummer of Rush, has died at age 67 from Brain Cancer. Grandson recognized his work as soon as I started playing "Tom Sawyer" on the laptop. Geddy Lee made the noise, Alex thumped the strings, Neil made the sound. His drum set was pretty amazing.

Bear hair has a certain gloss in the water to it. Polar bear was especially good, then someone outlawed it. Nice work

It is always possible to hurt more.

That lettuce I planted in the raised bed last fall came up sometime. I saw it all greened up the other day, one of the rare times I have been home with it still light out. Still day break in morning when I leave, sun down when I get home.

Yes it does. And it makes catfish taste better. Store bought salmon. But fresh stream salmon is hard to beat with just a little smoke from a cedar or birch plank over an open pit smokey flame. We took some fresh run silvers off the Portage River in Alaska, filleted them, and cooked them over the open pit fire and it was a taste that I have never been able to match.

Jobsite yesterday was a little local hunting club and clay range. My job took me back to the bird pens and the dog kennels. Pheasants, chukkar, and quail. I may buy a pheasant hen to cook, I have not had that since I was a kid. We raised them on the farm as a kid and my uncles used to bring them back from South Dakota each year on hunts. I will not mess any meat with shot. Funny story from the caretaker, they rent dogs. Booked a hunt, asked customer if they needed dogs. "Nope, we have some". Are they any good? "No, but they can run around and scare birds up". Paid for 25 Pheasant, killed 9. Should have rented a dog..... Upland birds were never my thing, I became a rifleman and a pistol guy. Scatterguns were never my favorite. And my attitude with dogs, they really have to work, or they don't get to hunt with me. Kinda like people in my life. Smart ones get the pass. Dumb ones, well, its hard to find a use for them.

The right BBQ sauce can make a turd taste good. But good BBQ does not need the sauce. Its the rub and the smoke that makes the taste.

Did you get out and stomp its head? It's madness. Spring has dun sprung in Jan. Ducks flying back north according to the Ark. Game and Fish weekly waterfowl report. Robins dancing around my yard the past few weeks. Oriole at the feeder at the farm over the weekend. Fields are greening up.

I like fat late winter ducks plucked and roasted. Gives them more moisture. I have skinned ducks whole, but the fat in the skin adds moisture. Early ducks get breasted. I skin turkeys, fry breast and make turkey salad of the rest.

Farming is expensive and labor intensive. Most farms have to be subsidized by Government to be made profitable.

Breast a duck or pluck, singe, leave it whole?

Nature will find a way around it like everything else.

Did you get to shoot anyone??

Gets you out of the house.

Nothing beats a Bunn. Cranks it out fast and good. More than one sip at a time......

Who is Lawrence Ghost?

Any room in the fridge?

That part fizzled, I had the cash registers and POS in 5 states at that time. Some of the old systems in grocery were made in the late 70's with file servers made of banks of rom chips. They survived. I did field one call that night, a closing manager at a Brew Pub in St. Charles needed a reboot. Pager and bag phone was still issued support equipment. Touchscreens were just coming online and very expensive.

Open up the oven and cram some of that stuff into it, probably don't use it anymore with all of the gadgets.
