Taking A Few Days Off...
...and working for the Man at home. The end of the year always has a pile of cases that must be sent off before New Years, and today I gave an entire day to the Boss. Many cases went out the door, and the relief is great at our house tonight. Now we have some time to collect firewood! It's actually fun, what with the log splitter and our Kubota RTV.
Merry Christmas To All Of Our Blog Family!
We are going to stay off the 'puter on Christmas, so here are a few songs for our friends that drop in Christmas Day. Merry Christmas, and thanks for stopping by!
Ruger' Auction To Benefit The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance
Ruger has posted a 10 1/2" Super Blackhawk this week, from 1983. The generous folks bidding on this one have run it up too high for me (as usual), but go have a look, and maybe you will want to bid. 100% of the proceeds of this sale will go to benefit the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance. The hammer falls on this sale mid-day, Christmas Eve, 2014.

Any Month Of The Year
Oyster mushrooms are always a pleasant surprise when we find them. They will pop after a rain any time when it is above freezing, so we literally pick them in every month of the year. We have had them at Thanksgiving, and this beautiful bunch appeared in in December this year. In warm weather months you have to find them before the little black beetles consume them, and squirrels love them, too. They keep well on the wood where they grow this time of year, and with the leaves down they are easier to spot. This bunch is growing on a downed black oak limb, but they will grow on a variety of woods. We have found them on hickory, ash, willow and cottonwood. Carry a sharp knife, and string to lash your knife to a long stick, just in case the mushrooms are out of reach.

Weekend Steam: Treat Yourself!
I haven't had one of these for many many moons, but I remember it is pretty good stuff. There is a picture of a locomotive in here somewhere, just to make this post legal.
