Yep for frigging sure! Sooooo glad to be right here in the United states. If you all Left or Right are not happy try living somewhere else. Thanks for the reminder @ness

It sure is easy to point fingers when you are not the one making the decisions. If you were king for a day and made the decisions you are not going to win. You will be chastised no matter what you do from one side or the other. Back the powers to be or say your prayers. better than that do both.

Going into a stir fry?

I want one but saving up for a new air rifle .

You are thinking about it aren't you ? 🤣

Taco Monday!

And a lawyer!

Since when do you want to be cool? 🤪

Been a busy day here. After canning the broth made a run to town to get some lumber at Sutherlands for a project. As I was picking out a 2'X12' a worker came over. What I was looking out was pretty poor for a selection. Have any more I asked? Nope that is it we are low for stock. I kept looking. He said notice no prices listed. I had not noticed. Building material wood has gone crazy price wise. We can't keep accurate tags on it. We have to change prices daily. We cannot even get some stuff. Then went to get a couple treated 2'X4's. Noting in the 8',10'or 12' bins. We don't know when we will even get more in? What the heck? So getting back home time to cook again. Started off making a vegetable soup with orzo pasta. The base was the some of the seasoned broth left from making the wild turkey carnitas. This is for later but the taste test was super good! For the main meal it was Oklahoma onion burgers. I think I have shared it before but it is worth repeating this time with better pics, This picture didn't get me any bonus points today These are well over a quarter pound each. I once tried to eat two. One each was enough to eat today!

Got the seasoned wild turkey broth pressure canned this morning. Some that I did not can will go into a soup base today.

Pat and I did a white balsamic rosemary jelly. It was good. Sounds funny but it worked.

Yeppers!

Here you go man.

No sir. I will get something up.

I opt to be an optimist. Too many pessimists on OAF lately.

Would fruit fresh work on it like it does on peaches and apples?

Would that be anything like Monopoly money? Go to jail comes to mind

I remember that Dutch. That was many moons ago. Good grief. You ought to throw that away. I am a bit better now.

Warning picture heavy, We have members on here with some real talent. those that draw wildlife and paint. Those that paint lures, tie and create flies. Woodworkers too. I bet there is more out there that have not come forward. Then we find others not out there. I found one. His choice of medium for his art are antlers. Solid core antlers like whitetail deer. When I ran upon his work I was really amazed. We visited some on his work. I told him I had a couple long tines off of a moose palm. I kept a couple more of them, gave away the rest of the palm and @duckydoty was gifted the base to make a billet for percussion work making points. He was interested in the two tines I had left so I took them to him. His eyes lit up and I could look in his eyes and see the wheels in his brain begin to turn. A trait all artists have. A real tell tale. He asked what do you want for them? I said I like to trade what do you think? We can do that as he peered into his showcase. I said how about you make me something? I could maybe do that. Ok how about you work one of these for me and you keep the other? Yes lets do that and a shake of the hand sealed the deal. So what do you want? I said a totem. Again the cogs began to turn I was ready to see smoke come out of his ears. So what on it? I said I would like to see a raven incorporated in it plus keep the length of the tine. 14+ inches. Ok I will work up some plans and send you a text with my ideas. Good deal I am good with that. This was last Saturday. So Wednesday I get a text and picture. "I'm getting there decided to just get it going" I liked it! Then yesterday Thursday afternoon I get a pic and "I got it done" So Pat and I loaded up to retrieve my trade. I was more than pleased and made sure it was signed. View of all sides. Snake tail coiled at the top and snake body down the back with snake head going in and out the bottom figure mouth at bottom. Raven top figure and a horned beast at the middle. My new friend Paul with the totem, Then pictures of his work. Poor pics but you can get the idea of his stuff in here. One thing that reminded me instantly of out OAF paddlefish expert @Seth, Ever wonder what is under the morels as you pinch them off at ground level?, I think I came out smelling like a rose in this deal! I will be knapping a couple points for him. He deserves more from my end and perhaps he could incorporate them in a future antler carving? Who knows as the smoke begins to roll out as he ponders!

Most excellent! You are raising him right, well done!

All right. At least you responded . One down one to go. Wonder how long that will take?

Right now that is a big 10-4. We are blessed.
