Sure, count me in. I just found a pound of powder dry chocolate, caramel, mint, strawberry, candy-cane cavendish that I must have accidentally dropped behind the commode in the outhouse several years ago. Dumping it on some unlucky sot works for my Grinch side. :twisted: Natch

Target received. Natch

Got mine today, always get one.  Blackhorse's points were well presented, especially #4.  My wife is in charge of making sure that all 4,000+ employees at a regional Hospital get theirs, so I could not avoid it even if I wanted to (which I don't).  She has been in charge of the annual flu shot...

Being a senior member of the Frequent Stitches Club at our local hospital's emergency room , I can relate. Natch

Again, showing why they were called "the greatest generation". Natch

Conrad, I'm also a birder, worked for Audubon in the past. And I've also noticed an unusual amount of birds this spring. I had a goldfinch, indigo bunting, cardinal, rose breasted, and nut hatch all lined up on the feeders the other day. Quite colorful. She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn't like...

I love the humor of someone doing something really dumb, and you know what's going to happen, but they seem to be clueless about the inevitable outcome. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aQm7YpxgOnA" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen ></iframe>

GMF & ZM, I just noticed that your picture is at Lake of the Clouds overlook, and you mentioned the Isle.  I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I've been packing the Porkies since 1974, and my uncle and grandpa took me over there when I was a kid in the late 50's.  Born in Ontonagon, I still...

I just noticed that your picture is at Lake of the Clouds overlook. I've been packing the Porkies since 1974, and my uncle and grandpa took me over there when I was a kid in the late 50's. Born in Ontonagon, I still make it up there for at least two weeks every fall. Spring, I prefer Isle...

Blackhorse hit it on the head. Gransfors are fantastic, but over priced. I've had good luck with both the Husqrarna's and Marbles, (if you don't mind changing the handles on the Marbles when they break, and they will). These are real tools! Natch

I would bet there is a regional version of: http://arkansasfrogsandtoads.org/   Go to the Frog Calls page and you can get a recording of every frog and toad in my area.  I'm going to my last my last Master Naturalist class to become a "certified" FrogWatcher for a national data program.  (I'm...

What!  You're younger than I by a couple years and I still do two-week solo backpacking treks when ever She Who Must Be Obeyed lets me off the chain.   I've done a fair amount of winter packing in the past, even into the Porkies, as GMF mentioned.  I can't X-country ski, but am pretty good on...

I also enjoy it. Was able to trade for several tins a few years back, so they have some pretty good age on them now. Just cracked a tin last month and if I control my cravings, (highly unlikely) I should be able to pace it out for another month or so. Natch

When my beautiful bride and I were married (1989), I had a job at Ball State U. that started in just a few days, so I tried to convince her that Muncie, IN is the honeymoon capital of the Midwest. Ball State was a great place to work, but if you've ever been to Muncie, you know that it is not...

He survived way past expectations, but he did have excellent healthcare and could afford several around the clock nurses.  Truly a fine mind. Natch

So, can a pipe cameo save an otherwise poor movie? On this board, perhaps. Natch

Great lesson in linguistic diffusion and geography, (the retired geographer commented!).  Here is a link that I used when I taught world regional geography...

She Who Must Be Obeyed puts up with it, as she knows it keeps me from becoming the psychotic axe murdered that I really am. :twisted:   However, I never smoke indoors.  I have a nice bit of woods behind the house with several fire-pits to sit by in colder weather.   Also, for several of you...

Nice piece of land. Which county is it in? Natch

Being born in Ontonagon, raised in the Porkies, and worked on Isle Royal, that's my home territory. My advisor and mentor at UW-Milwaukee, Dr. Harold Mayor, was on the Coast Guard Review Board that spent over a year looking at the disaster. He taught a graduate level, Transportation Geography...
