  1. Im going to start making lady bugs!
  2. Ok. Ill quit kicking this dead (infested) horse thread back to life but not before one last quote from the master. 8-)
  3. Robert, those teeth are actually the retaining/locking rings for the nut that holds those very roller bearings in place. I just flatten them with a hammer, cut out the section I need. If I want smiley teeth (8-)), I heat it gently (they are thin) with a torch to "back bend" them. Wish I had pictures but you get the idea. I've toyed with the idea of using the same concept on gears and cogs. Heres another, but harder to see them. Scott.
  4. I apoligize. Its from the Andy Griffith Show!
  5. George, I've never been there or smelled that, but I've close ones who have. Recently. Our family is military. Smell that bad does not go away even after its molecules have faded out, I suspect. Still, the skunk was bad. I had to crawl under and pull it out. And it came apart in the process. (Sigh...) Thank you! This just keeps getting better!
  6. Lifetime supply of scrap art eyeballs. Possible trebuchet ammo.
  7. The Ewwww factor! Never mind cooking snake meat... What is the downright, most hidious odor you have ever smelled? Touchy subject probably. I used to live in a mobile home many years ago and a skunk dug under the skirting, chewed up into the floor insulation and died. I was responsible because I threw bug bombs in there to drive it out. FAIL. Nothing on earth like it! And it only got worse.... Rotten potatoes are bad as well. Worse if you eat them. Who sidetracked this thread anyhow?
  8. I have never used Facebook so sorry for this question but can you use any timeframe for such a reminder? Scott
  9. Absolutely! I'll be in transit, moving to the Tar Heel state but I'm sure the new owners wont mind a bit. How many are we talking? Hundreds, thousands? How many can an arroyo possibly hold? They can live/pile up in the old corn crib....
  10. Thats how memories are made. My sister took my 7 year old nephew to the Kubota dealer yesterday on a "price finding/haggeling" mission because he is interested in such stuff. He wanted to see how much he would have to save in order to start a new Panama Canal project I guess.. His budget work up:
  11. Was it the taste of that moose meat, or was it just hard to chew? I just got an upper plate last fall and tough cuts of meat are out! Along with saltwater taffy..... You dont know what you have until its gone. Thomas, I know a fellow with a flute that could lead them ole snakes right to Frosty's front door, for a price. 8-). Scott
  12. I tried alligator once, but the oddest thing to go into my digestive system was an aluminum beercan tab I accidentally swallowed a few years ago. I think it may still be in there somewhere.
  13. I confess, I have never tasted dog or snake. Never had the opportunity, I guess..... I do have a friend in Bisbee who brags about his deep fried rattler and nopales. He's too cheap to buy me a plane ticket for a visit so I may never get to try it. I wonder if fresh caught Alaskan salmon tastes better than canned salmon....
  14. Nodebt: Something I aspire to. Still aspring to.... May always aspire too.
  15. Im heading south, not north Jer. Malamutes are too tough for me.
  16. I consider both equally tasty.
  17. Is there a topic on IFI where people/users explain, discuss, or otherwise describe why they chose the name they have as their user names? There are some very interesting ones to say the least and some are obvious (?). I searched up and down so please forgive if I missed it. Nodebt. Hmmmm....
  18. Borrow or use your idea may be a better term. Good for Axle! I had a dear doberman that felt the same way towards bull snakes and look out if she got one. You know, properly prepared those arent bad in a stew.
  19. Awesome! What does he do when he sniffs them out? His middle name should be "Rod". I love his ears and may comshaw that idea for future projects if ok....
  20. You can find inspiration and art in any old scrap pile. Four tacks with the ole buzz box and creation comes to life. "Such an art may be possible"
