Low and slow?

First time I’ve tossed one into the trash bin usually they get a proper road ditch burial, but I think the weather will keep it cool enough until trash day. I was going to let him go until I found my beloved chicken Aka knuckles covered in blood.

Knuckles is a great name for a chicken!

Her toes all curled on one foot a few weeks after we got her as a chick. We researched it and ended up taping her foot flat to a piece of cardboard, as you can imagine the contraption would fall off and we would try again and after a week of that **** she earned the moniker knuckles.

Not everyday is a great day, but today was one. My new officer and I caught an *alleged murderer shortly after said homicide.

*all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, even with clear video evidence.

They are all free range and the standouts usually earn a name.

When you read two topics which are not related but yet somehow read like they are...

Congrats on apprehending the suspect!

Doing the work that few have the stones for, @Battleborn. Congratulations.

Took the kids to a yearly winter event here called “Winterlude”, then went out for an early dinner, and in the spirit of the olympics, we are watching Cool Runnings.

@GrateEggspectations - Love the photo and the fun for the kids. Winter was a great time when I was young, Radio Flyer wood sled down a very long, iced over road was always fun. Ice skating on a frozen pond that was fresh, spring water fed year round but always took a couple weeks for the ankles to acclimate. Fond memories as I hope your kid are building.

We love that movie. My daughter asked for it this weekend. I think I might dig it out right now...

It is endearing. A few risky jokes for a Disney movie too - some swear words, a bar brawl, a joke about ganja smoking, etc. Lighthearted and fun. I notice they spliced in some of the footage of the actual Jamaican team crash, too.

For those concerned about @Botch, we have someone reaching out to him. Hopefully he just decided to take a break from the forum and it’s nothing more than that. I’ll update things here as I learn more.

zaphod · February 14

Thank you John.

kl8ton · February 14

Hopefully a break or tech issues!

JohnInCarolina · February 15

Happy to report that our good friend Botch is fine, just had some issues with his internet provider. Should be back here soon enough.

Just got tanning fluid on all the hides I have been working on. Just a few more (fairly labor intensive) steps until this project is finally complete.

…and what is in the hot tub @Canugghead ?

Canugghead · February 15

@BeanHead Kenji Asian pork belly for tonight.

Are the fur for personal collection or some special assignment you got? I grew up in a community where the two main businesses were manufacturing shoes or tanning cow hides, my family was in the former.

I think the alarm on the inkbird is sufficient to launch a person out of bed!

Speaking of belt and suspenders, full disclosure, it actually crossed my mind to plug two analog radios on high volume into the heating and cooling outlets

Grabbing my ankles as I just received my new property taxes. A 45% increase.

Where are you located, John? Why such a sizeable increase?!

This is I believe just a result of home values nearly doubling during the pandemic.

Guess you can’t complain about this part!

We didn’t see these sorts of substantial increases during the pandemic.
