Blinker fluid .... That's what you're looking for. When you find some, let me know, would you? mine's running low.

Found this link - and nearly wet myself reading a few of them... Some becasue they were so outrageously perfect. Others because, well, I've used them. I'm definitely filing the "100 yards of shoreline" away for our next scout outing!

For those of you with Veterans in the family who may not be "up to speed with emailing and such."
Today's email I received from the VA update....



There was a lot more but, that should help you out a bit eh?

Well, y'know, everyone has their own way of hunting snipe. It may have something to do with the native habitat. We were surrounded by cornfields and overgrown field cover, so the burlap worked for us. I hear others had better luck with a wooden barrel, but there are all sorts of methods. I guess we can't really knock 'em 'til we've tried them all. Anybody up for some snipe hunt research?

Sourland Mt wooded area, open burlap sacks, flashlight directed at open bag, call "snipe, snipe, snipe" in a high pitched voice until tired of it all. That one doesn't work. Posting for a friend.

snipe hunters must wear their clothes backwards so the snipe thinks you're going away from him

It's the outdoor version of sending someone to fetch a "left handed pipe wrench" or a box of "sailboat fuel."

...or to go empty the 'bit bag' behind the VAX.

I have my fingers crossed that having had the virus will keep my immunities up until the vaccine is fully vetted. I do NOT want to go through that again!

Time will tell on that one, they are looking at it, whether they'll ever come to a valid quantifiable conclusion also remains to be seen.

YES! I LOVE it! I wish I'd known that one "way back when." I KNOW my cousin would've fallen for it ... bless his overzealous little heart!

Prepping for snow this afternoon ... first of the season and, if the weather gurus are correct, the first "real" snow we've had in two years. I don't know whether to be irritated or excited. Either way, the heated waterers are in place and everyone has extra bedding ... including the people. The generator is cleared and primed. We didn't need a "milk/bread/toilet paper" run, one good thing about the looming shut-down, I guess. We have all the makings for cocoa, mulled cider and chocolate chip cookies and the tree is ready for decorating ... so Bring it On Ol' Man Winter. We're ready!
