Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[SoulReflection]

Cat's in my back alley tend to fight in the middle of the night and wake everyone up. Where's my hose. Only see them in the summer though. Don't know where they are in the winter or when it's raining.

To remove blood from the driveway, use 3% hydrogen peroxide (pharmacy). Let it sit for a while, then soak it up with paper towels. Repeat as necessary. Cold water and soap works on my cloths, should work on the drive.

Is "blood from the driveway" related to cats fighting in the middle of the night?

Leave the plywood edge exposed. That table has absolutely NO rustic charm and I find that unacceptable.

sushi - nope. I liked my food cooked but I might try it if it was deep fried. That's pretty much a requirement for TX!

Projects were done in the same order as presented.

We have Ceviche out here, raw fish "cooked" in Lemon juice, I got tricked into trying that the first time too just like the first time (and last) I tried cuy. Ceviche is actually pretty good, the Cuy tasted good too but nah..

I never realized just how much blood is in a cat!

There's my answer to the question posed to @beans-on-toast .

Never seen blood like Jeff described but the cats really do go at it. It starts with threatening howls, then at some point round one begins. Deep instincts take over.

This is exactly so.

I was once served lemon juice cooked fish. It tasted more like lemon than fish. Then I looked down and asked if the worms were normally included. Should have had the chicken.

Figure skating mom's are the same way.

Ceviche doesn't taste like chicken, but that was my experience too, more lemony that raw fish taste, that may be why I liked it. My favorite out here though is fried trout (trucha frita) very common.

Four of the five Montblanc pens I've owned were lightfingered.

Guess I should call myself lucky in that people for the most part were afraid of me

We have a few feral cats living in the neighborhood, so most likely one of them.

You mean bobcats? The domestic cats may be glad they didn't get killed

It starts with threatening howls, then at some point round one begins.

... Which speaks against the bobcat hypothesis, though. Lynxes sound notably different from cats. Also they tend to avoid violent confrontation. Well, except they were stalking cats for prey

Nice pen. More day-to-day useful than a fountain pen.

With me it'll be a bit different, though. I write quite a lot by hand, and I must admit that my schoolteachers absolutely were right in claiming that writing with a pen is easier on the hand than writing with a ballpoint.

I use felt tips and ballpoints only for shortish notes.

Ebi and Unagi is cooked. Try the others with Texas BBQ sauce, you'll love it.

I'd be too stylistically conservative. I've tried to eat vegetarian sushi with Chinese light soy sauce (which I otherwise prefer), but it just didn't taste like it's supposed to.

I don't handwrite much these days. I tend to print to be sure that my instructions are clear. I used to have a nice signature but it got lost from a lack of signing my name. I tend to print my name for non important signatures. I don't want to give away my true signature.

I thought we were discussing cats, not Heu-Mons?

So, you prefer raw chicken in lemon sauce?

Nope, formerly domesticated house cats. I'm just glad we don't have formerly domesticated, feral dogs around here!

...I must admit that my schoolteachers absolutely were right in claiming that writing with a pen is easier on the hand than writing with a ballpoint.

Doesn't the sharp point of a fountain pen dig into your skin easier compared to a ballpoint pen?

I'd be too stylistically conservative. I've tried to eat vegetarian sushi with Chinese light soy sauce (which I otherwise prefer), but it just didn't taste like it's supposed to.

You must have forgotten the wasabi. It's really nothing more than a pasty variation of Texas BBQ sauce.

I was thinking of using yellow Crime Scene tape to cordon off the area.

 

[Jeff Scott]

Are you sure it was a house type cat and not something bigger? At least it wasn't a skunk fight.

Definitely, not skunk, thankfully.

 

[GwenOnBass]

The big cats are in. The only fighting is over who gets theirs last.

Leave it there, Passover is coming up.

It has to be cooked. And not sashimi chicken.

[Jeff Scott]

...sashimi chicken.

That's the newest thing over at KFC...

Who would have thought. A cat bass club already. Member numbers can be based on serial numbers.

As a kid I liked to use my dad's old fountain pens (Link Removed) because they were so much better than the cartridge pens I could buy

I also liked to use nibs for drawings. One of the things I since have completely forgotten



Both came with alder bodies?

If one had the old Wilkinson bridge (topload only) and the other the Hipshot bridge they switched to somewhen in the mid to late 90s this indeed would make quite some difference.

Both are alder but the BB75 has a flame maple top that is about 1/2" thick. Both have one piece maple necks. I bought the F in '98 and the not-F in '99. I think the string through became standard in '99. There was no option for string through on the F as I recall.

BB75 - yellow, BB75F - blue
