Is that really a squirrel, or is it Wiley coyote in a squirrel costume trying to fool the Road Runner?

One of my theories is they live to please us. If they aren't doing what we want, it's usually because we haven't figured out how to communicate it yet. I think that guy had a smart dog that liked pleasing dad. The tough part for me would be learning when it was a rejected hen and that I...

to train for hen exclusion, one could say when identifying a hen: "bummer hen" in a tone denoting disappointment. When identifying a rooster: "Yay Rooster!" with a "good dog" intonation. Wouldn't the dog learn to recognize the preference and seek the birds that got the good dog sounding call out?

70 degrees. the former record was 63 degrees, set in 1963

Considering their noses and their intelligence, it wouldn't surprise me if they could tell the difference. I was thinking they might give slight clues or scent and then dismiss a hen. The speed of the tail, a different frequency of quiver something that betrays the fact that they know they...

Do they show a lesser energy level because they are hens?

Started in the alley driving my dad's international pick up with a 304 and three on the tree. Got to the end of the alley, turned left up a steep hill and killed it. Tried to start out and killed it again. My dad blustered, so I started again, and this time I floored it, then dumped the...

What would be a plausible excuse for the need to get the 10% back to fund and make the $600 advance possible.

My dad, a welder, built a still made of stainless steel for a friend of his. They made moonshine and he gave me an old clay jug full, but I'm not a whiskey drinker. Cured myself at an early age. It smelled good though, it smelled like a newly opened can of corn. Many years went by and a...

Good companion piece to the 1911 since they use the same magazines. Marlin camp 45. 16 inch barrel making 1000 ft./s with a 230 grain bullet. Pretty dang accurate too.

I have taken some great photos of Moose in Yellowstone and the Tetons, but be careful. People talk about Bison, I'm more afraid of Moose, especially cows with young ones. They are fleet of foot. Always have an escape plan.

When that guy in the Ram gets out of jail, he should look for a job on a Baja racing team. When it was still 55 miles an hour, I hitchhiked on a trip across the state because gas prices were high, and my Charger was thirsty. A guy picked me up and he had a radar detector. I thought: all...

1.696 compression height didn't dig deep, but it looked like Summit was the same price for a kit, probably with taller pistons. I bought a master kit from Northern lunch, and it was all namebrand parts and made a great run in motor. They were a lot cheaper than the other vendors at that time
