Ransom Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think this thread has turned into the premise for another Conan movie. Lemme see here, but I don't think I headed it as Simple Mayhem.

Red-Handed Jill Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 A local woman owns a herd of goats that she hires out to "mow" overgrown areas that are hard to get to. It's always struck me as a very elegant and environmentally-prudent solution. This has fascinated me but I've never had the opportunity to see these goats in action. But on my drive home yesterday, I passed an overgrown area of land where the goat herd was hard at work, enthusiastically doing what they do best.

All you'd see was his black tail as he disappeared into the pine trees. And that for only a nanosecond. My birdbath was no more than 3 feet from me when I typed that. A deer would have been within range. Now, I want a venison burger . . . Edit: Due to lack of a natural predators left around, there is a MAJOR problem with deer overpopulation in my area. Several people I know have been killed b/c of hitting a deer on the road and I have had a few close calls. Also, having WAY too many deer is causing a problem with what they feed on, hurting veggie gardens and farm crops. When hunting deer, I strongly advocate maximizing the dead deer for whatever can be used, meet, leather, horn, etc. I actually have an issue that so much venison and hide is wasted. So, no "poor Bambie" . . . That is some of the backgound of the above comment.

Ransom Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Having a motivational reason to get back in shape. After a seven year hiatus, and at an age where I should know better, I may get back into horse riding. This time on a 13 yr old ex-racing thoroughbred. I've been babysitting him, with four other horses, all last week, and he went home last night. But I just really like the guy. His current owner says we're perfect for each other because our hair is the same color (red) and we both get heat rash! LOL Our first official workout-get to know each other will be this Thursday afternoon. I've never ridden a horse this big, so it should be...interesting. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

blackjohn Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Speaking of... do you know a good restaurant in Havre de Grace for steamed crabs? The thought had crossed my mind for going out for them this Friday night with some of the pirates who will be in town for the Lockhouse event.
