Actually, I buy sesame oil at Trader Joe's, better quality and price than anywhere except Uwajimaya. And made fried rice last night that was based on brown rice cooked with two tablespoons of sesame oil. I'm doing OK treating the ring worm with Lotrimin, though, although it's a drag to get the stuff on the back waist area accurately!
Reminder NOT to sit around the house in wet clothes just because I don't want to have to keep changing.

I will have look into the online fish forums. That is a very good idea. i do know that the windows here are made by Milguard. I have heard things all over the place about whether or not they good or bad. They made in Fife. I think that some of the windows were installed upside down. The sliding glass door maybe upside down also. I can't say that I have ever noticed any big change, except for the sky lights. But at least I can plug those with insulation.
I think the Milguard ones were hinky at first and are better now, although the vinyl clad wood ones seem to hold up the best. The clad metal ones are "thermally unstable" (shrink in the cold) and also flex more in the wind.

I skin, stretch the hide skin side up on a styrofoam board, stretch with quilt pins, then salt & borax.
Ya'll didn't know the Chickielady took Taxodermy classes??????
Yup..and I have threatened to stuff the best parts of DH when he goes!
Think!
No more snoring!!!!!!!!!
You crack me up!
And how much salt and borax on the skin?
How long do you leave it pinned out?
Do you just let it dry there and your done?
Or is there other steps involved?
This kind of thing has always been interesting to me!
It's a very good thing that Cheryl knows the right kind of questions to ask. I could have ended up with a very nasty Puppy rug.

I know that I have clad aluminium windows in this house. Well except for the garden window, and other small window that was add shortly after we moved it.

dunno about salt-tanning chicken hides, but I did tan the opossom that we dispatched on our deck
I have tanned deer and elk hides too (more elaborate procedure, also depends if you want the hair on, or off)
I'll let CL tell you how SHE did it ... I just rubbed on, rubbed in, enough salt that there was still some in granular form, on the surface
then when all the salt seemed to have been absorbed, but the skin was still flexible, I put more on ... left it pinned until it was hard and dry
after it stayed dry for a week, because I wanted to use it as a table mat, I rubbed it, bare skin side down, over a rounded log until it was flexible; rubbed some neatsfoot oil on it to keep it soft
That is a very good use of a opossum.

Well curiosity killed the cat. lol
Sometimes my brain works a little bit! But mostly the baby brain has control. I actually broke a plate last night, because I just let go without meaning too. Its frustrating to say the least.

plenty of articles online about how to tan or cure various hides, just Google them up
but as CL says, for chicken feathers, you really only need to salt-cure the skin
and yes she is totally correct, you have to pin the skin out, very firmly stretching it ...
I have been tempted to yank the hackle and saddle feathers out of this blasted roo, though, if I could ever catch him without getting injured myself
SOMEthing needs to take him down a peg or three ... I do want him to defend the girls but I don't appreciate him challenging me

I love Google. If I can't get the spell check to spell a word for me, I will Google it, and it will find it for me.
I am going to call it a night. The night crew is checking out early.
