Good thing I am many states away! The Mrs. is doing laundry and I really don't want her to find the shovel . You know we do have to come out of the mountains to a commercial campground to shower and do laundry. Now before you all go to assuming we don't get real cruddy and stinky between real showers! Good looking meal there John! We had wild turkey carnitas this evening. Of course crisped up in goose fat. So how was the goose fajitas? BilletHead PS I am not saying a word .

Thanks Mitch! Just wait until we get home for a report. Much to share and still have a week to explore out here. Even then don't want to come home but Mrs. BilletHead will need to go back to work. BilletHead

Good grief Mitch! We prefer beer over wine, NASCAR over formula one but fly fishing over any other type of fishing. I suppose we could rate you as a small mouth elitiest that may prefer wine and fancy race cars? How can you not like this in some of the remote places in Utah? The BilletHeads PS , still love you brother 😀

Just got a call early this morning. Richard has moved to a better place. He is not hurting any more. The BilletHeads

John, Do you fillet your shad or fry them whole? I assume catch and release on the skipjacks? BilletHead

That would be a Gooseberry jealous sammich. BilletHead PS looks like we should meet at another place than the Love's. Might get into a shoot out, BilletHead

Now be careful Chief. There is two types of influence you can share with somebody. So far it has been positive with the BilletHead's Or get the big head , BilletHead

Thanks a bunch fellows, A big yes to that Tho1mas. The Mrs. and I have this talk all the time. Not being morbid but we discuss who will go first and what would be next in our survivors future ? I have had a blessed life. Not ready to exit yet but when it is my time I will be good with it. My only and biggest fear is being left alone if I am the survivor. We are not rich in a monetary way but we are in other ways. We will celebrate our fortieth year together week after next. BilletHead

I know those are really your slippers Wrench :), BilletHead

No need to be confused young lady just glad to see you back! Also John you are sooooooo spoiled, maybe more than I am ! BilletHead

Excited heck yes! Enough I pulled mine this morning. Was a nice feeling. Better feeling knowing I took out literally thousands of the little stinking beetles. While looking at various plants I only caught by hand a few and promptly pitched them into the garden pond for the little bass and monster green sunfish to annihilate. , BilletHead

Who exactly is this posting here ? , BilletHead knows like the shadow knows.

Our Friend Richard is back home now and on hospice, I went over and had a talk with him. I only hope he could hear me. Pretty tough to do but it was something I had to do. We all deal with loss in different ways. Loss of a very close friend is like loosing a member of family and I consider him family. Other than Pat and our Son I have spent more time with Richard than anyone else. I ask again for prayers for Richards next step and for his family please. Thanks, TheBilletHead's

Plus they will give five demerits and theytake away seventeen of your likes . BilletHead

Ummmmm except for the beets , BilletHead

Most Wal-Mart supercenters carry them. BilletHead

Let us put it this way. When I stir one up or we smell roadkill skunk it is "Boy that stinks". Now when our precious dog gets too close and gets a spray then it is like "that is not bad". We have found he baking soda and peroxide mix works pretty good when Sadie gets clobbered. She used to get right into them fighting to the kill. Now in her later years it's like go over to see what it is or ignore it. Sometimes the look see is too close and she gets some. The dog used to chase and tree anything including chipmunks and lizards and of course tree rats. Now it is there goes one and what's the big deal. , She even used to sit and watch them out the window with blood lust going pretty crazy, kind of like JohnsFolly did looking out the window on his visit . BilletHead

Yep it can get pretty stinky close to the house. I had an armadillo digging under my deck and making a mess. Right out the back window. So I grab a 120 conibear and get it set just right. Wouldn't you know it I got a skunk! Was not as bad as it could of been. The 120 did its job killing him right off and he released just a little . I have become accustomed to the smell some over time. I for one have been around for awhile. I know you too have been Grizz. Do you remember the two part mixture skunk screen? See the smell of skunk reminds me of my early bow hunting career , BilletHead

Don't throw in the towel ! Skunks can be live trapped and disposed of. My dad did it once and My neighbor has also. Just do not alarm him. Lay the towel you want to throw on the cage and carry it off. Many , many years ago when I ran a trap line you could buy a kit to inject skunks in a trap to kill him. A syringe with some chemical in it. You put the syringe on a long stick or pole and simply push it into the chest cavity. Then you could draw out the skunk essence with another syringe and sell it. I never sold mine but kept it for making trapping lure. I when running lines never carried the syringe as I did not catch many skunks. When I did I would just walk slowly upwind and whack the skunk with my long handled trowel. They would go off and spray in a big fog. I still hauled them home and pulled the essence. Oh the good old days, thanks for the trip down memory lane . BilletHead

Uh Oh shes got the phone and here we go .

Yessiree , good eats right there, BilletHead

Pickled beets, Pat likes you right now, me not so much . ICKY like Snagged and your peas . BilletHead

It is hot but you still have to eat, Grilled whole deer tenderloins, grilled straight neck yellow squash, sliced big rainbow tomato and cucumber and onion. A splash of balsamic vinegar on the squash makes it interesting too, BilletHead

Just polished off the rest of it a bit ago. Dang! BilletHead
