I used to hunt a woods that wasn't far from a small private zoo. It was pretty strange to be sitting in my tree stand in the Indiana woods, and hear their big male lion roaring in the distance.
I planted a wild persimmon start in our yard almost twenty years ago. It's been bearing fruit every year for awhile now, but we've never really done anything with them, although our little dog ate them as fast as they fell each fall.
We decided to learn how to process them this year and when...
That's my plan also, if ours goes out. When our power was out last April, I waited till the next morning to crank on the generator and both freezers and the fridge were fine.
I would tell you about how I made my own interlock plate and installed it on my breaker box, but I got some serious negative feedback last time I talked about it.
PS: It works great.
I don't grow sweet potatoes every year, but I've always left mine in the ground until the vines were totally dead. If I saw some peaking out, I'd put some leaf mulch or soil over them.
Sorry for your loss. We lost our two little elderly female dogs three years ago, went two years thinking we didn’t want another, then all the sudden here’s this pup that needs a home and it just felt right. It’s been a year now and I can’t imagine life without him.
My mom got me several pairs of toughskins the year I started Jr. High. And she didn't just get four pairs of blue ones; no, she got me blue ones, brown ones, green ones, and red ones. I got into more than one fight over comments about those red toughskins. And, the blue ones looked like Levis...
My first was Herman's Hermits at the Ohio State Fair in 1969. I was only like 7, but my older sisters begged mom and I guess she couldn't get a sitter.
First real concert was the Police with Joan Jett in 82 at MSA
Foreigner
Mellencamp several times
Van Halen 1984 tour - best seats I ever had...
I've seen it in several TV shows and movies, where a guy has a gun pointed point-blank at someone's head, then after deciding that he's made his point that he's not to be messed with, he uses his thumb to "safely" drop the hammer, all the while keeping the gun pointed at the other guy's head.
I would much rather live with the knowledge that if a minor child uses one of my guns to commit a crime, I could be prosecuted for that crime, than to live with mandatory gun storage laws that hinder my own use of guns for self-protection.
My wife found some Progresso soup cans that had expired in 2016 while she was going through things last winter. I think I've eaten them all by now, and they were all fine. The way I see it, the only reason to throw expired canned goods away would be when you really need to make room for new...
I still have PTSD from trying to walk across the rebar, catch up to the guy with the pipe, trying to keep my grip on the handle of a five-gallon bucket when I stick it into the stream of concrete shooting 100 mph out of the end of the pipe, hoping that I got enough to do the air test and/or...
I was under the impression that many of the people who died (during prohibition, I don't know about now) had bought the booze from bootleggers, believing it was OK to drink. Realistically, you know that after some deaths happened, it would become common knowledge that there was some risk of...
Quoted from the Wikipedia thing on Prohibition:
"To prevent bootleggers from using industrial ethyl alcohol to produce illegal beverages, the federal government ordered the denaturation of industrial alcohols, meaning they must include additives to make them unpalatable or poisonous. "
"New...
Physiology, question 1 should be "secrete" not "secrate".
Wonder if it was a spelling error or a typo.
But yeah, I wouldn't want to say how many of those I couldn't answer based on a quick reading, so no, I'm not smarter than a 1912 eighth grader.
It's one of those interesting human nature things I guess, to offer some kind of simple benchmark as a quantification of something that's actually super complicated.
As the young people say, my source is "Trust me, Bro"
