How'd it go today?

I'd try it in a heartbeat, but my wife won't cook it, and I ain't gonna skin it and clean it only to mess it up myself!
 
Bermy mentioned them Gary. Got me looking. I saw a couple that looked interesting, including one I could remake with a hook end. I'd just have to grind a bit out of the middle. Still thinking...

That rattlesnake was *big*. I've only seen one rattler, and he was pretty little. I stopped at a rest area on the way back from a paddling trip, and there was a rattler coiled up next to the door of the bathroom. Probably enjoying the leftover heat from the sun heating the concrete. I left him alone, and he didn't move.

I'm not a big fan of eating reptiles and amphibians. They have a weird fishy taste. I've had worse things, and if money was tight, I could probably get used to it, but I'd rather have just about anything else.
 
Ive been wanting a billhook for hedge laying, i see martindale makes a solid looking one. found a new toy/ tool to buy!

Looks like it'd make a solid machete with a hook end
 
My friend Phearron in Cambodia posted this. The translation is below the Khmer and it says it all. With no tourism dollars they are without income. He and his friends caught snakes, mice, and large worms so they can get some protein in their diets. Sharing resources is part of their culture E0AA6449-49A1-46D5-8789-41348C632A65.jpeg
 
Another day of dealing with multiple crews and giving estimates. One crew couldn’t figure out the dump site 5 minutes up the road from the job. I escorted him and even let the sites owner know we were coming. He met me as we pulled in and handed me 4 pounds of frozen mild Italian chicken sausage. Told me to keep the chips coming and the meat will keep coming as well. I’m not the biggest fan of chicken sausage but I won’t complain. Most places want paid to dump around here.

Did they get a couple of bats and pangolins while they were at it?
 
Stig,
Not that I heard. Zoonotic infection is always a risk. They are a small rural community. We took a tuk-tuk to their village outside of Siem Reap about 45 minutes ride to watch the annual longboat rowing races. Sixteen paddlers per boat. Karen and I were the only white faces in the crowd. I know very little Khmer, but the smiles and enthusiasm are universal.

Rain today. Went into work and did my taxes. The state tax forms always piss me off(everything's produced in the stupidest way possible), but it was easy enough. I owe a few hundred between state and federal, so I'll have to some money orders and stamps, and get them in the mail. We had a covid delay this year. I didn't *need* the extra time, but never do now that which can be put off indefinitely's what I always say :^D
 
Uh oh, I must have got the name wrong, I'm not seeing my machete on that site you guys posted...I'll go take a picture of mine...
