    I find them particularly cute when browned nicely and covered with gravy!

    I packed away another 50 lbs of rice (mylar bag and O2 absorbers with bay leaves), 50 lbs of red beans (ditto) and 50 lbs of white corn (ditto). I have to replace a couple of circuit breakers at my home as they won't reset, so that will be my project for this week.

    I forgot to say I don't shoot the ones around my house because they are cute, and fun to watch. I don't have any major nuisance issues with them either though.

    This week I got a zombie head chopper......er....I mean, new machete.
    I like it. It seems to be built pretty tough. It actually has a much thicker blade than a lot of machetes I've seen.
    Just the kind of tool Tunnelrat would like to try to tear up......I mean test.

    Our house sits out in what used to be a pasture. I have planted a boat load of trees since we bought it (1000+), but no nut trees. This summer we finally had a our first & I hope last squirrel. My wife puts out bird seed to attract various birds to watch. Stupid squirrel kept getting up on the deck, eatin all the food, then proceded to destroy her feeders. Needless to say, he won't be eating anymore bird seed!
    BTW I don't care for squirrel very much. Just don't like the flavor.

    Just finished up Wifey's Christmas present today. I made her a Black Ruger MKIII with a Black 6" fluted Pac-Lite. It has Red flame Hogue grips and a Fastfire sight. Hope she likes it. If not, well, I like it.
    They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
    I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.

    I like AlphaTea's gift a LOT. I'd click the "like" button 50 times if I could. I wish my hubby would give me a gift like that.

    BTW, where, and how much did that machete cost?

    I traded for the machete, actually called a Parang.

    They can be had for a very reasonable price. Try here:
