When I was growing up my father ALWAYS had a decent size garden. Tomato’s, cures squash etc. My parents had a rough time thru the depression so it was a big deal to them. We were located in rural CT and there were lots of varmints trying to raid his garden. POP was a pretty good shot with his 22.

I built this for wife 3 or so years ago, specifically to keep 4 dogs out. I attached the project. (I am not a handy man) It says it is an advanced build, but was pretty easy.

 

 

That is fantastic.

I just don't understand how South Korea was able to test 15,000 people a day when the virus was still in its infancy and hadn't even spread to the US or Europe, but we can't? I think Hawaii as a state could only test 40 a day in the beginning stages. Without getting into the P word -- I hope we learn something from this so we don't get annihilated by the next one.

It's fairly easy to understand, but not gonna go there.

Just got the email that our IT manager at work lost his father to this. Horrible.

Same. My great grandmother was born in 1898, she made it to year 2001. Saw 3 centuries* pretty neat. But she lived in her house till it was her time to go. Always had a garden that her kids helped with.

 

My grandpa lived a block away, had his own little farm.

 

Then my dad had a garden for most of my life, except when we lived in a golf course community.

 

But he is planning on 2 acres of stuff this year. They make a lot of sauerkraut, so cabbage is their main focus.

 

As bad as this whole thing is, I think there will be a lot of good to come of it *hopefully*...

I like that idea I have a nice little area on the outside of my fence where my dogs will not be able to mess with it and it won't take up any of the fenced in yard which is for the dogs. Like that idea a lot might do something similar to keep any of the neighborhood dogs or the rabbits out. Thanks for the idea.

Regulations

Two local "Urgent Care" centers closed their doors indefinately two weeks ago.  The regional hospital laid-off over 40 people Monday. 

It's hard not to look around town without wondering how many shuttered businesses will never reopen!

1 time for me, wasn't bad but still cant get past the mindset of what it is! I will try almost anything once (key word almost)

Nope and not going to.
I grew up in a family where most of them hunted and consumed or donated what they bagged (was legal years ago to donate). There were always the game dinners, really miss those and the old timers.

Some of the best meals I have are when I catch some river trout or my neighbor sends some deer meat over.

My buddy is an avid hunter. I always have access to venison, turkey, pheasant, quail, squirrel and rabbit. His shish kabobs on the grill are incredible!

I just fried quail up the other day. The birds are why I hunt because they are delicious.

Dog training with a friend we are using quail. A because they taste good B they are easy to acquire from game farms.

A nice day outside... getting exercise.

Man are you bringing me back that’s what I thought. Another guy and myself built a “Quail callback” pen for our dog training in off season. This was in the 70’s! Our biggest challenge was the Quail getting back to the Pen B4 the predators got the birds.

I need to play golf. My swing is damn good right now...

Update: ... I’m good. Just about took out the window on my shed... last named about a half inch from it.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be making a garden. And prepping for a few chickens.

I don't know why, but that's cracking me up. All I can picture in my head is a guy out jogging with his dog while playing guitar and how awkward that would be. 

 

Plus, all you guys taking about wild game are making me hungry and wishing I had some venison.

I have one roast left. I'm hoping to bag a wild Turkey so I have that for the freezer.

With the talk about food, I thought I'd post tonight's dinner. I smoked a pork loin and my wife made mashed potatoes and corn. I'm stuffed now....

COVID-19 has claimed a place that will always hold a special place in my heart. A little sports bar in the city where I went to university that was in the strip mall right beside campus.

I had many great nights in that bar. It's sad to think that it will no longer be a staple amongst the engineering community at the university.

If I could package to keep it fresh, I could definitely do that! I used pecan, which is one of my favorites and a hickory bacon rub.

My wife was born and raised in the Philippines. Went we first started dating, she tried to get me to eat Balut. She brought it over one day and I put it in the fridge. I kept coming up with excuses day after day until I said the Balut must be bad and then threw it away. That was 10 years ago, still can't get myself to try it to this day.
