Is that a bearded hen? We do see them occasionally. Here's a link to a site with pictures of all of the subspecies and a map of their distribution. https://www.beautyofbirds.com/wildturkeyspecies.html

They learn this stuff early in life...;)

Sharn Jean used to make these as gifts; they keep the potatoes moist and plump (Not the actual bag).

I was wondering if you have the same species we have here; it looks like the markings on the tail are a bit different, but that's all I could see right off.

It's new to me, but I heard they turned one of the city tennis facilities into Pickleball courts.

I used to watch him race on the dirt track in Albuquerque in the late 1950's...with his little flathead Ford with the words "Flatheads Forever" written on the side. He finally had to switch over to the small block Chevys though.

I have seen one. It was about the year 1983; early morning, I went outside to get the paper, and it was just East of our place, and over the neighbor's house. It was perfectly round, somewhat bright, and it looked something like a full moon; about the same color...It was several times larger...

Wish you hadn't said that...:oops:

What do you call a sleeping bull? A Bulldozer.

Stick to your guns. We allowed our girls to make the decisions we thought they were mature enough to make...with our counsel...but were pretty rigid on our rules otherwise...example: They were forbidden to get on a motorcycle for any reason. This was SOP for as long as they were living under...

I have a friend who suffered serious radiation exposure during an equipment failure of some kind on a nuclear submarine.

FWIW, the fighter pilots in WWII saw a lot of these things; they called them "Foo Fighters". https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/what-were-mysterious-foo-fighters-sighted-ww2-night-flyers-180959847/

I would look into a UV protective coating, i.e. a spray paint especially formulated to block UV on items exposed long term to the sun. I also suspect that many plastic products are purposely designed to bio degrade, so that they will decompose in landfills or when exposed to the environment...

We were saturated with glowing accounts of how great nuclear power was going to be, how cheap, clean and easy it was...why, you could run a train from coast coast on a teaspoon full. I later worked for an energy company who had large nuclear holdings in several capacities, including as a...

"Thunder Road" was considered pretty good in its day.

I agree. It was a good movie. I also liked "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Papillon"

It's a bit more complicated than that; not even Anthropologists can always agree on what it is...in fact, there is a complete body of study known as "Cultural Anthropology". Here's an example of one definition: Culture…is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals...

Thank you...it's really wonderful...especially if you have a garden and raise fresh lettuce and veggies. P.S. My family came here from Bowling Green.

That is truer that I'd like to admit.

My Dad was in the aggregate business, and there were rock quarries in both towns. Makes me wonder who wrote the line I quoted...:)

A couple of my favorites! My Grand mother made the best chicken and noodles ever. She would kill an old setting hen and make the best ever. I still miss getting the egg bag.

Really nice shot. Do you have an outdoor kitchen...maybe a smoker to cook up some baby backs?

"If first you don't succeed, just keep sucking until you do".

Reminds me of something I saw written on the wall of a privy Many, many years ago. "Granite Oklahoma...hardest town this side of Cement".

I really doubt that will happen. As a species we will probably, through being drawn closer by modern transportation and communication, become closer and more familiar, but I don't think it will ever overcome the tribal mentality. People tend to take pride in their differences and their cultures...

Hah! My Mom used to use the word "unlaxed".

There's no way to know. If the stories of aliens are true, they seem to be neither hostile, nor extreme benevolent. I admittedly assumed that a society more highly developed than ours would be more paternalistic than hostile...but no guarantee.

I tend to think they would be more like us than not...and here's why. Convergent evolution; specifically, a big brained, thinking rational being that has survived and evolved by it's adaptability, namely it's ability to make the environment fit it. For instance, in order to make tools, you...

Of course not, but an ant is hardly considered "intelligent" life in the manner of a human. I am assuming that another intelligent life form would pay some deference to the human beings, their history and their culture.

...or, it will become apparent that this earth is only a speck of dirt on a policeman's uniform.

Not so much here; a hamburger normally comes with mustard. Now if you order a cheeseburger, and want mustard instead of mayo, you best tell them. And speaking of salsa, if anyone here raises their own tomatoes and peppers, try this: 2 cups chopped tomatoes 1 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped...

An advanced society of intellectually superior aliens, could have conceivably advanced morally also. Their view might well be that "Who are we to assume that our culture has so much to offer that we should modify destroy the existing culture of the earth, particularly if they are happy as they...

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

I have a late 1970's baseball autographed by the Chicago Cubs. It might be worth a couple of dollars.

So, how is it supposed to work? They almost have to be cremated for sanitary reasons, don't they? Do they put the ashes in there in containers or made into concrete globs?

It's a variant of one of those listed. It's also an English name, so we may be among the "Ulster Irish", i.e. former English that emigrated to Ireland. According to our family research, my family came to the U.S. in the late 1600's and settled in Virginia and later settled in Bowling Green...

"Probable" carcinogen. https://www.verywellhealth.com/does-roundup-cause-cancer-5077049

I was wondering the same thing myself, so I googled. Much to my surprise...I'm famous! I know there is another one out there somewhere, but "he" is a motorcyclist and that's definitely not me.

I think my name is fairly common in Donegal...:)

They say the IRS won't call you on the phone, but MANY years ago, I got a call at work from a guy who said he was with the IRS and he wanted to talk about the $5000 I owed them. Turns out there is (or was) a guy with a name identical to mine, who was a dead beat. I told the IRS guy I didn't...

Chinese steel...

Carpenter ants?

The exact same thing happened to my youngest daughter. The bottom of the sack got wet, and she lost all of her goodies. We had a lot left over that we didn't give out, so we persuaded our other daughter to dump hers in with ours and we let them split the booty.

Me: "Whatcha doing today"? Father in Law: "Helping Albert". Me: "What's Albert doing?" FIL: "Nothing".

"Bridge to the Sun". It's an old movie I hadn't thought about for a long time; I know my Mother loved it. Starring James Shigita and Carol Baker...a love story about an American girl who married a Japanese diplomat just before WWII. Think I'll see if I can find it and watch it again with...

You have my sincere admiration. I went to school with a family that ran a dairy farm. It was a 24/7, 365 day a year job. There were no idle hands there, that's for sure.

I was on a safety committee many years ago at the lab where I worked; you wore your safety glasses all the time. Some of the safety films we saw will make a believer out of you...like the pair of safety glasses with a nail sticking in the lens, and one pair that saved a guy from a grinding...

I have to agree with you there.

I remember my Grand Dad's milk cows with the end of their tails full of cockle burrs. I can imagine how it would feel to get whacked in the face with that.

I know the feeling.

Maybe; although I think Ingrid made a better victim than a villian.

Spent several of my formative years in SW Missouri; learned to play shinny when attending my one room school house! This is the now famous Chapman schoolhouse, formerly at Pierce City, now located at the Jolly Mill site near Monett.

My parents had just moved into a different home, and it just so happened that their next door neighbor had a lovely younger sister who was living with her. The rest is history; 58 years.

My Dad grew up on a farm during the depression; I recall him saying one time that in those days, you could buy a Jersey bull calf for 50 cents. Don't know if that is a true statement, but I do recall the government paying farmers to slaughter cattle and hogs just to get them off the market.

The Maltese Falcon ain't bad either...

I just went through this whole thread...and I hope no one else noticed how many times I repeated myself...but par for the course for an octogenarian...right?

When you accept a job, in return for a paycheck, you accept the conditions placed on it by the employer. You have dress codes, codes of conduct, you have to show up at a certain time (most jobs), you have to perform and otherwise conduct yourself decently. If they say you can't use drugs, and...

I'll take a WAG, and say it will be be over the Pacific Ocean, but they will be citizens of the place of the parents citizenship. Interesting question though... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_aboard_aircraft_and_ships

It's a rare occasion when a slab of ribs leaves this house; it's either for a birthday or funeral, or when I cook for the Elks. You might try my recipe, though. I use my Egg on direct heat, because I like my ribs a bit browned...

Ouch!!!!!

I ran a pneumatic air tamp over my big toe once upon a time; the nail was damaged enough that it was only attached at one corner. It was very sore at first, but it healed up pretty quickly.

Toe nail story: When I was about 4 years old, I had a habit of carrying a bucket around in the yard (don't know why, but I was an only child, about 10 miles from civilization). Ended up dropping it on my toe, and turning it black. It hurt so bad, I cried for a couple of hours or more. When...

You wouldn't believe my baby back ribs, chicken wings and brisket! Recipes upon request.

I understand completely...and girls aren't any better.

Late 1950's; Univ. of N.M. I was working in a Grocery store; $68 per week. 1976; was in law school.

Interesting...me too...plus a year of Anthropology. One of the most interesting subjects I ever studied. Thought of making it a major, but employment prospects were pretty grim for a country boy.

Have you read "The Naked Ape"? It an older book on the evolution of mankind, and why our bodies, families and sexual appetites are like they are.

Those ground dwelling yellow jackets...or hornets or what ever they are called, and vicious. I was stung twice on the ankle; they left awful wounds and they left some pretty noticeable scars. I had to soak my foot in Epsom salts water so I could get my shoe on.

Not a valid analogy. The cause of poverty in this country is crime, not the other way around. It's cultural problem that's wrapped up in welfare economics. Stop the crime, get fathers back in the home, along with education, and the opportunities will take care of themselves.

Talk about diversity...:)

I've posted this before, but it bears posting again. If you get stung by a bee or a wasp, if you will take a couple drops of juice from an onion and put it on the sting, it will almost instantly kill the pain. Yeah, I was skeptical too, until I tried it. I was amazed! It won't lessen the...

When many of us were growing up, there was no alternative...except maybe the dreaded "poor house". You had no choice except to educate and train yourself to make a living and support a family. I was pretty sure when I got my education, I was going to be kicked out of the house...

Amazing! I remember that one little bit specifically also! The book really opened my eyes as to how difficult every day life was. Even an overnight trip was a big deal; just finding somewhere you could eat and sleep.

This is a bit belated, but does anyone remember this guy? Ed "Kookie" Byrnes? I didn't know he had passed until recently. Met him in Ft. Smith a few years back; he was selling autographs for $20 a pop.

If you are so bent, you might find "Black Like Me" enlightening. It's about a white guy, who chemically turned his skin black, and lived life as a black man in the deep South...in the late 50's if I recall correctly. I read it 50 years ago, and it was an eye opener for me...

The first motorcycle I ever tried to ride, was a 1950's something Indian Tomahawk, single cylinder, foot crank. I got on it a couple of times, it always left me stranded somewhere in traffic, and I had to push it. After about breaking my ankle getting it started, enough was enough. Years...

BOOOO! You should have called the dogs.

He liked to get drunk, fight and woo the ladies. I'm pretty sure he deserved it.

A 1929 Durant? Seriously? I have never even seen one! Do you have a picture...or two? My Dad, who owned some weird old cars (a Star, and another one, a Maxwell I think ) but that was back in the 20's and early 30's when they were still around. I would say a Durant is pretty rare.

Wire is a big offender; I worked with a guy who was using a push mower and it threw a piece of wire into his foot. I have heard stories about brush hogs doing similar things. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/lawnmower-accident-utility-wire-regina-man-ear-1.4745048

If you like Corvettes and convertibles, this will make you wet your pants!

No, but I think I saw something similar in the video of the first moon landing.

I have to agree with you. I love the original cars, and it makes me sad to see an old classic hot rodded.

Bite your lip! :(

It's always good to get the input from an expert, especially on something like geotrophism. P.S. I'm sincere; not trying to be a smart ass.

I attended a car show in Eureka Springs a few years back, and was looking at a Model A Ford, when I noticed an AC compressor under the hood. I couldn't believe it. I talked to the owner, he said it was a Model A engine, but an industrial version that was a lot more powerful...and the AC worked...

Look at the trees in the background. They are growing straight up; suggests to me the picture is real.

Glad you have a sense of humor...my Grandson is a CPA; I told him the joke about the constipated accountant and all I got was a grimace. I will have to say I've heard enough lawyer jokes until some are actually funny now.

I've had several calls alleging to be my Grandson, hurt in an accident and needing money. Last one, when I asked which Grandson it was, there was a long silence...and then he says "F...you" and hung up.

l recall an interview with a scammer on the radio; he said that most people recognize it as a scam, but the few who don't, are really suckers and an easy mark. I personally know someone who was taken for nearly $100k.

According to our learned scientists, Man evolved as a hunter/killer. His body is designed such that he can run down game until it is exhausted. Man is not fast, but can run long distances steadily; the naked part of "naked ape" is for heat control. His arms and shoulders are designed to swing...

I hear you. After I retired, we baby-sat my twin grandsons until the were in grade school. Sharn Jean is a professional seamstress, and keeps busy with that, so I have basically taken over most of the household duties. I was amazed, at how much work has to be done, especially with kids in the...

Wild guess, but I'm thinking that's a mature tom and the rest are hens or very young toms.

Shop around. I have bought two new Fords on the Ford employees plan; last one in 2002; listed for 38K, paid 32. They make a lot on their trucks.

As I'm so fond of saying, 90% of this country's problems are big city problems, and they think country folks should be part of the solution to their problems. The area where I live was rural when we moved in, 50 years ago, and it is still rural/suburban, but the country side for miles in every...

Last spam call I got, I answered it thusly: "Hello! You're on the air, in front of a live studio audience! We're doing a special program on people like you who make their living with the telephone! Give us your name and we'll take questions from the audience!" "CLICK"

I'm beginning to believe you. My deck for example.

That's pretty close to the way I finish a gun stock...it really puts a nice finish on wood, but a lot of work. I installed a piece of granite for the egg to sit on, works great. ou can see it in the first photo. The sides of the egg don't get that hot.

He's been gone about 20 years; I doubt I will ever change my mind.

I only spent $10K for my first house! Is this what Thorstein Veblen was talking about in his essay "Conspicuous Consumption"?

I think I'll skip the granite top; it's too heavy now...but the wax is a good idea; I've used Beeswax on some cutting boards in the past.

Good idea! My wife...Sharn Jean is a seamstress!

Thanks guys; I appreciate the advice. I think I will sand it down and see how it looks (good job for my Grandsons). I don't think I want to have to re-do it every year, so I think I'll take the advice and get a high quality boat varnish...I'll ask the Sherwin Williams guys for a...

Absolutely! I was 13 years before I ever saw a TV; it was from outside, too...it was in a bar and I couldn't go in. It just so happens, Hoppalong Cassidy was on! Radio was indeed our escape; I can still visualize the Lone Ranger, the Inner Sanctum, Life with Luigi, The Buster Brown Gang...

I've cooked for 50 or 60, and you still need about the same basic equipment. Instead of the BGE by itself, I also have a Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker, and I have to use both of them. What I needed extra, was big serving pans, a couple coolers for transportation, and lots of help! And don't...

Here's a picture. The Egg sits on a slab of granite that I bought from a cabinet top place.

Posting a picture not in my computer files is quite an ordeal, but I'll see what I can do.

I had a very near and dear friend who lived next door to me for 17 years. He had an old tree in his back yard, that had died, and mentioned that he was going to have it taken down. He had a bad back so he couldn't do it himself. I walked over one nice day, with my chain saw, and cut it down...

I know they exist, but have never seen a white one. I did see a black one once upon a time, but that's the only one I have ever seen.

I just use a large paring knife for ribs, but it needs to be sharp. Other than that, I have a set of scissor tongs for almost everything I put on the grill or smoker, and for hamburgers I have a scissor tongs with a spatula on one side. I also have, a grate lifter, a Weber chimney, a wire...

Here's a table I built a few years ago to hold my Big Green Egg. I finished with a polyurethane (spar varnish) meant for outdoor use, but the wood has faded considerably and now is a grey color, typical of unpainted and weathered wood. My question, is there a way to (a) restore some of the old...

When I was in high school, my Dad was Superintendent of a sand dredge, and since the sand was shipped by rail, it was on a RR side track. It was very rural, and our house was near by. I have seen quite a few rattle snakes; half on one side of a track, half on the other. Yeah, we had to be...

I loaned my fertilizer spreader to my BIL; when I needed it next spring, I found he had left some ammonium nitrate in it and it was practically eaten up. It was cheap, so I just tossed it out and got a new one. I loaned my air compressor to a co-worker; he turned too fast and it turned over in...

I can remember when I was a kid, listening to Joe Louis boxing matches on the radio. My Dad was a fan, and I became a fan also.

Check with one of your professional paint stores...like Sherwin-Williams. I used to work for a painter; he used to put a can of Pet milk in his paint for such cases. I can't give you specifics, but I know there is a milk product called Casein that is used in paint to make it adhere tightly...

My guess is it's all the same to the management, but the waiter is trying to be "big stuff".

The last time I remember borrowing anything, was in 1970, in Free Port Texas after a fishing expedition. I borrowed a guy's knife to clean some fish and promptly dropped it in the ocean. I figure if I need something bad enough, I will either buy it myself, rent it or pay someone to do the work...

Margaret Thatcher was also known as "Atilla the Hen". Not particularly respectful, but amusing in a sophomoric way.

There's all sorts of "ifs" "and" or "buts" you can point to, but the bottom line is you are better off never using tobacco and if you do use it, you are better off quitting. Your chances of getting lung cancer are reduced over time...what's wrong with that? However, lung damage can still...

All I can say is I hope what they are doing is really rewarding; to me it's just asking for trouble. My neighbors (before the divorce) used to put out corn for the deer. We had herds of deer, flocks of turkeys; geese and even Mallard ducks in their front yard...not to mention our yard, and...

I remember Merle. I had tickets to a Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard concert in Enid but he passed just before the concert. Went anyway; Willie was, to be kind, disappointing.

Ever tried Predator Deterrent lights? I have heard others swear by them...

Hope and desire are important, but the fact remains, you have to make the decision...yes or no..."maybe" means failure. I think I "hoped" that an angel would come down and remove the desire, or some such but it never happened.

Let me recommend an old movie that I think is excellent. It's entitled "They Might be Giants". it stars George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward. He is an ex judge who believes he is Sherlock Holmes; Joanne is his doctor, whose name just happens to be Dr. Watson. It is the kind of movie that you...

I watched the movie many, many years ago. As I recall, it was a delightful little movie; a bit off the beaten path for Jimmy Stewart though.

Here again, you're the decider! :)

Man, you hit the nail on the head. I call it "garbage thinking". like "I'm going to try to quit smoking", giving yourself an out if you want to give up. When I quit, I took the position that I could not, and would not smoke another cigarette even if I ended up in the emergency room on...

Hmmm. Never thought about cooking Harvey, the Pooka.

I think the sea salt has some trace elements in it that the regular salt doesn't. My palpitations were never serious, but it seemed to work for me...until my doctor changed my BP meds, and then it meant a trip to the emergency room. Doc said what I had was Atrial tach, not A fib. Taking meds...

Don't pizz on my leg and tell me it's raining...

I have had minor heart palpitations all my life; and about 30 years ago, I was listening to my radio on the way to work, and some doctor was taking questions from listeners. To make a long story short, he said that before taking meds, you should try using sea salt (Iodized) instead of regular...

I'm guessing you don't have heart palpitations!

Ah, but it's soooo delightful to sneak a hand full of peanut M&Ms!

Hmmmm...and I thought all along that a Cougar was just a Beaver with experience...but then I never watch basketball.

My pleasure. I have thought about adding a smidgen of Cumin (for pork) and maybe a bit of sweet Basil for beef...but I hesitate to mess with it now; it's kind of a "please everyone" mix.

Doctor told me..."No more caffeine...only decaf coffee, Pepsi free and...get this...NO MORE CHOCOLATE!"

I know I have posted this before, but I was unable to find it, so I'll post it again in case anyone is interested. Yeah, my memory ain't what it used to be. I'll probably embarrass myself and discover I've posted it twice in the last month...

Something's wrong here...I think I only pay about $4.00 per bottle...

Kinda like Dave Gardner said about Cuba...all it would take is the Mississippi National Guard and a couple of flat bed trucks.

If you haven't discovered Woody's cooking sauce, then it's about time! It's not a BBQ sauce; it's not sweet, not too hot or not too salty. It is a great product... with amazing flavor... and really makes baked (BBQ Beans) tasty, especially with bacon or sausage. Sharn Jean uses it in her...

My experience, while not unique, has been fun. I was raised in a family of boys, and one sister. She was born when I was a Senior in high school, so she was not much of an influence on me. Sharn Jean and I raised two girls; both of which were Daddy's girls, and it was a treat for me. I got...

I believe you. Someone very close to us adopted twins...a boy and a girl...when they were infants. The adoptive family was fairly well to do, and they were church going. Now in their 30's, the kids had all of the advantages, but the boy has a long history of drugs, and was ruled by the court...

My Dad was very allergic to poison ivy; all he had to do was get close to it to have a reaction. This was in the early 50's, and they gave him a vaccine that cured him 100%. Now I heard that they don't give it any more, why, I don't know, but I heard that it only worked for a few people...

A place in the sun...

The one thing my Granddad said I'll never forget. He saw my young cousin picking his nose, and he said "The man you're making those pills for is dead!".

I figured politics entered into the equation somewhere. I have learned that physical scientists, engineers and administrators do not think like biologists, and sometimes do not have an appreciation for the variability of biological entities, nor the dangers of exposures to chemicals, etc.
