I had a bb gun. That was a good time.
I wouldn't mind getting into target/clay shooting. But I'm not a hunter.

I did the same thing. Tubes are not supposed to be inside you!

That cow is going to be rotten by the time we get there. You'll need to gut it, skin it, and hang it someplace cold so it can start aging. Then it should be okay.

Camden isn't bad...but Acadia is the Maine (get it?) place for climbing in Maine. I've never been there!
My statement wasn't entirely accurate, as when it comes to climbing, NH and Maine are the same state in my mind, since I do all my climbing in NH.
The crag near my house is pretty good granite, though. Granite is great.

I'm home for Xmas, at which point I will take stock of t3h finances.
If I can still travel, my sis and I might go overseas. Or I might go back to Ecuador.
Or I might get a job.
It all depends.

Fortunally I remember nothing about my time in ICU.

Most meat you buy at the store is full of hormones and other crap though. There is a certain amount of drugs that need to be given to livestock to keep them healthy. I'm not sure if the necessity is less on smaller farms.
Our friend Neil has suggested a few of us getting together and buying a cow from his parents. His roommate is a butcher and could do the cutting. I would assume three of us would buy it and then then it would get split into four groups and the butchering would be payment.
My mom used to always get beef from my grandparents.

Awesome!!! Who needs a pool when you can get grass stains on your chin?!?! ....yes.... we have Christmas in summer! Detergent? Like dish soap? Just water worked pretty good. Perhaps it was the only way your mother could get you to bathe? Snap!!! I mean really.... Who else put detergent on their slip and slide? I dunno. My parents could only afford that cheap black plastic you use for painting projects. We only used a hose and more often than not the plastic - being black - was super hot regardless of how much water we put on it. It was good until about the 5th or 6th slide when it would tear and we'd have a rock go through our chest - living in the desert isn't really conducive for lawns. We had one, but it was thin and brown most of the time. My pool involved a 1/4 mile walk to a pond. This pond had multiple vehicles - cars, jeeps, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and a school bus - in it. I didn't swim much there. No one in my subdivision of 250 houses had a pool. If you could call it a pool, it was more than likely a horse trough, or one of those 10" deep plastic thingys. spent my fair share of time in those as a kid. It was my job to make sure they were always full, so I made sure to enjoy my work from time to time. 'course, there was always the pool I'd make myself when I dammed up the creek flowing through the front 40. No diving allowed, and that water was COLD! When there was water to be had it was nice. The best pond around, though, was a 2 mile bike ride. It was fed by a wonderful cool spring. The water was clean enough that a few goldfish that were released into the pond lived for years. That place I miss. The other one, not so much. Well, i DID grow up in the Pacific Northwest, where many of those born there develop webbed feet in the early years of their life. Luckily I was born in Kansas i guess, but an even larger stroke of luck was not having to grow up there. This was impressed upon us chillins during our early teen years, during the family vacation one summer in the mid-80's. TFG! Damn, Kansas huh? That would have made it hard to get into climbing.
Have you seen Kansas? ATV's and shootz gunz, thats about all there is to do there. Oh, an maybez some fishin' from time to time, after the livestock are fed and milked and fed again.
SOOOO lucky i dint grow up on that milk-farm.

Our friend Neil has suggested a few of us getting together and buying a cow from his parents. His roommate is a butcher and could do the cutting. I would assume three of us would buy it and then then it would get split into four groups and the butchering would be payment. My mom used to always get beef from my grandparents. get have to feed it all summer long, till late in the fall the butcher-man would drive up in his mobile meat machine, put a .22 Mag between it's eyes and do the work right there. He'd hoist the quarters into the truck, cart it off to his cutting shop, and voila`! three weeks later we'd pick up a freezer full of beef all wrapped in waxed paper.
There are a certain amount of antibiotics which are prudent to give to the young steer, much like we all get childhood vaccinations because it's the thing that helps keep us healthy. However, after the initial dose the only thing we would feed it was good hay and as much mineral from the salt-lick as he had a mind to taste.
There's something to be said for raising your own beef, yes.
