Just don't overdo the horseradish in the deviled eggs, especially if yours is extremely hot.

I used to go to a restaurant in N'awlins to eat oysters with horseradish. If you put more than a match head sized bit of their horseradish on the oyster, it would blow your head apart. It was one of the hottest things I ever ate.

I never got to it, we lost one of our girls last night. The seizure girl, dont know if I have it in me today either, I am miserable as well.

Its easier for me to copy from FB than try and explain again...

We are devastated at the loss our Beautiful Sophia to a set of seizures of unknown origin. She started with grand mals yesterday and at some point from then until this afternoon her brain was terribly damaged. So horrible to watch all this and unbearably upsetting. Hurts so bad my poor Beautiful girl. This year just sucks so bad I want it over.

Oh Sally.... I am so sorry.

You gave her the bestest life anyone could possibly give.

This Easter boy hatched with a strange layer over his eye. I was worried that he had no eye. Once dried, it starts to peel, so I pulled it off, and revealed a normal eye. He seems to be visual and normal now. Has anyone ever seen this before?

its just membrane that had stuck, sometimes low humidity can cause this, or assisting making pip holes too big. congrats! @SidChick howmany did you hatch?

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH PEOPLE?? Stupid SOB!

I know I have no words

Quote: Does it taste different from chicken egg?
yes very strong tasting cant really explain

Grinding horseradish with a meat grinder requires goggles and a painter's respirator mask
Without them snot and tears will run out you just like the gas chamber in boot camp...

I grind up fresh now, hotter. Just peel back the root and use a cheese grater for how much you want, doesn't bother you either like doing a bunch up at once. Wrap the root up in plastic bag then paper bag and put in fridge till next time.

you bet, its one thing I can not help my Dad with, he is on his own with that one.

She truly was a very beautiful girl. I am sorry after all your efforts you lost anyway. That just sucks. Just remember that His love never fails, and the Spirit intercedes for us when we have no words. May you find this comfort in your struggle and sorrow.

Quote: I'm so sorry, Sally; I hurt for you. I've had to put a few down, but never lost one at home except a 6-8 wk old litter to misdiagnosed (by the vet) Parvo. Your Sophia is in a better place today, and her suffering is over.
Hang in there Hon, time will help the hurt go away. And you're right; she was indeed a beautiful dog.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Sweet Sally, Very sorry for this. I've been lucky in that of all my dogs only 3 have been seizure prone. Two were maintained with meds, and the third a puppy had only 1 massive seizure that he died from almost immediately. Just stopped by to say, "Hi " and saw of your loss.

@Fire Ant Farm @ChickenCanoe I hope you guys had a good evening. I wanted to get another part of my trip detailed earlier, but I had to go by the store, do chores, and put 51 t-posts in the ground after work. I am just getting a chance to sit down and chill for a few minutes before going to bed.

Day two:. I will leave the Canyon campground and head to Tower Junction where I will do the short hike to TowerFall. This is supposed to be a very rewarding short hike to view a hundred and 32 foot waterfall. Then you can go down and around a short spur Trail to see where towercreek disappears into the Yellowstone River which is supposed to be impressive.

After this short hike I will stock up on some last-minute ice and use the facilities because from here I had to a two-night backcountry trip. After I leave I will drive about 11 miles to the exit Trailhead and have to find someone else to shuttle back to the trailhead or hitchhike which the workers in the park assure me is very common for hikers. The trailhead that I am starting at is the hellroaring trailhead. The trail that I'm going to is the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone. It is purported to be one of the classic backpacking trips of the Northern Rockies with everything a hiker might want. It has lots of great campsites wildlife in the fishing can be fantastic later in the season, which is when I am going, when the river is not a roaring through the canyon like it does early on after the thaw. After leaving the Hellroaring Trailhead you hike through meadows, stands of trees and down a hill crossing the suspension bridge over the Yellowstone River. At the 2-mile mark you can go up the spur trail and look at Hellroaring Creek and some of its campsites if you want and then when you are ready you get to ford Hellroaring Creek. I will wait for other hikers to make sure I crossed this in company. Or I could go almost 4 miles out of my way to use the stockbridge, but I'm not interested. After firding the creek you gradually climb up over ridge and pass Little Cottonwood Creek and then another Hill in to Cottonwood Creek this section of the trail stays high above the river on mostly open hillsides then after the creek it drops to the river's edge. Between these two creeks are three campsites about six miles in from the trailhead. I got my second choice of campsites but since they are both five star it is fine with me. The campsite is on the river about 200 yards off the trail with a good water source, no campfires, and the only real downer is the bear pole is on a steep slope which makes hanging your food and pack difficult. There will be another group at the other camp site one tenth of a mile away so I could ask for help if I need it.
Day three: after breaking camp I get to do the section from Cottonwood Creek to Blacktail Trail Junction this approximately 3 mile stretch stays close to the river offering great scenery resting places and fishing holes. It is said that have lots of carcasses and scattered bones because it's the winter range for the parks large ungulates. At the end of this stretch is Crevice Lake where I plan to have lunch. Then the trail crosses another suspension bridge and begins a thousand foot elevation increase over the next two miles. But this section has lots of elk and you might have to detour around bison herds. There is also a point where they have sandhill cranes though the nesting ground is sometimes close to protect this rare bird. At 12.3 miles I am going to turn left onto Rescue Creek traik to go to a second to camp site for that night before doubling back to that point and exiting about seven tenths of a mile further on. I am detouring for a five-star campsite before coming out the 2.6 miles and going to Mammoth the next morning. This campsite looks down over the valley and up the ridge without obstruction. The food area is on the edge of the meadow where you can watch Wild Life from the comfort of a fire and there's good water access about 10 feet away.

Day four: Hiking out the two point six miles and retrieving my vehicle I'm now headed to Mammoth Hot Springs. With tons of thermal features and one of the few places you can actually soak in the hot springs (Boiling River) which will sound good after 2 days of hiking. I am told this is about a half a day if you want to visit the thermal features there. Then I will head to the artist paint pots. I am undecided as to where I will spend that night. There are two campgrounds near the artist paint pots Mammoth area aside from Mammoth or I am considering the short hike around Ice Lake and Little Gibbon Falls as an easy overnighter or I get into a campground.

Day five: In the morning I can do the Hoodoos or Monument Geyser Basin. It will depend on how I feel.
Then I will be going to my next overnighter. To be continued...
(I need to sleep)

Good morning, Dax! Thanks for sharing this - I really enjoyed reading it. What a great way to start the day! I really like your detailed descriptions - it sounds like you plan trips sort of like I do. Again, wishing I was going. Maybe I'll get to go one day.

Oh, Sally, I'm so so sorry. There's no way to send enough hugs over the internet. Thinking of and praying for you today.
