billybob Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 That said, I could not sleep right away last night trying to recall what I had read as a grammar school young tyke. Having read John Jacob Astor, James Fenimore Cooper and the like back then, I could not remember if eating beaver was done back in the day as, there was a mass slaughter of the animals by the different beaver fur trading companies. If not, it was a double whammy just leaving all that meat to scavengers. Just thinking of the hunter code of eating what you kill. Also know that the beaver is surely now protected, but wonder if any NW Native American tribes hold them in rituals,etc. Very broad I know. This came from the beaver conversation I previously enquired about, and wild food. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Westher. Haha. Typical southeast TX dsy. Raining so hard you can barely hear yourself think. Looks like 17 will be just like 16 weatherwise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sounds familiar. My home was built in 73, and I don't think any remodeling projects have ever been attempted. I've been here 5 years and I am just now doing some renovations, it REALLY needed it. I'm making my way to the kitchen, but that's where it gets expensive. Good luck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bathroom wasn't cheap either but we pretty much gutted it to the studs and started over. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope just black swirls from the stuff that grows on it from being wet so much. You have to pressure wash it from time to time to keep it decent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite TV shows Mountain Men, showed Tom, the guy from Montana and the guy up in Alaska eating beaver. They both claimed it was very tasty. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Rain finally came some last evening here. Was expecting much more rain much sooner. System must be stalled or very slow coming... Yes we were talking smoked meats. Looked good there btw... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams suck at quarterback and are on second or third stringers. If you like defense, this will be the game of the week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
