After 13 years as a loyal pet, I don't think I'll be eating her.

Took the last 'yote out with a .22 LR. Perfect heat/lung shot. Dropped where it stood.
13 yr old would be like leather But seriously Sorry for your Loss
what was the goose's name
I understand I use to raise ducks (both mallard and whites)
I would get eggs and hatch them in an incubator and they thought I was their Mama , followed me all over the yard like my babies , was so funny and Great.
 
Excellent Now send that POS back for a refund defective............



Woke up this morning one goose shy of my pair. Had the girls since '08. Made great guard critters. Trying to think of how I can poison the 'yotes without killing my dogs. Something slow and painful seems proper. I feel more sorry for the one left than I do the one that was eaten. She seems lost.

While geese mate for life, they will often take a new mate once their old mate is gone and they have grieved. Can you find another adult male goose that is pretty to look at and has a charming personality to help her through her grieving?

73F @ 63% RH, and predicted to reach 104F. Air quality still good but predicted to fall to moderate tomorrow and unhealthy Saturday due to wild fire smoke.

Two Wu Tang hip hop artists killed and four members of their group sent to the hospital leaking from bullet holes about ten blocks from one of our rentals.

Lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu lu!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I found the missing sprinkler vault under about six inches of dirt and ground cloth and the good news is that it is leaking! I will dig it out this morning and repair it, after breakfast out at the Tin Shed with Kitchen Kook.

Shit show on Future4200 with a palace coup underway and the inmates in charge of the asylum. Future4200 is experimenting with a cooperative group moderated forum and because some of the group didn't like what I had to say, they started with personal denigrations but being unable to find my goat, they flagged my threads enough times that they were automatically put into limbo for four hours, and then they repeated. The most underhanded thing that they did, was change the title of my "What do we want" to "What do the Peasants Want".

So much for democratic site management. It reminds me of the current win lose political circus.
 
Morning GW
Glad you are making some headway, was the tool able to at least trace the wires ? Must feel good knowing you may have found the water leak, hoora!
Also such a shame for the Wu Tang boys

But what really would have been a shame would have been a bus load of them going off a cliff with one seat empty.

@ GW...did I hear you right.....the phantom sprinkler head has been found.....what are you gonna do with your time now.

Nice software Big. You were down on Colfax without me???!!!!

Not as much smoke today. I could actually see the city on my walk.

Maters are now turning....beans are playing out. Just another year in the veggie garden.

The system traced the wire routing, but I also got signals from wires running in the same bundle, but not attached to the sender. What it did was clue me into the wire routing, which was different than what I thought and led me to discover the missing vault when I started digging in a different area.

I'm not a hip hop fan either and interestingly there was more gunfire last night in the same area reported last night on the Neighborhood forum.

Hee, hee, hee, it was an errant valve vault that was missing, though I did dig up one completely buried head. I'm leaning toward debauchery and self abuse with my new found time.

73F @ 69% RG, partially cloudy and predicted to reach 102F. Air quality is moderate due to wildfires.

I dug out the sprinkler valve vault to expose the complex manifold and discovered a cracked tee with no room to fix it the way it is designed. I gave up working on it once I had it exposed, because it is damn hot to be digging. I will pickup three elbows and a new tee today and patch them in by going vertical to gain the room I need.

I stuffed another two feet of 2" column with stainless ribbon, insulated it, and added it to my three foot reflux column, giving me five feet total. I also had to extend the top thermocouple wire, but fortunately have several coils handy. I didn't run it yesterday because I didn't want to heat up the kitchen in the afternoon, but have it heating up this morning as we speak.

I'm hoping that will bump my single pass recovery from 185 proof to 190 proof.
