    Idiot sticks. They should have called a wildlife officer, someone who knows enough about animal behavior not to kill unnecessarily. It starts with understanding and respect for the animal. Lights and sirens? Geez.

    On another note, I had moose meatloaf last week. Taken the ethical, low stress way and made with care.

    You could have gotten the tenderized version after they fell 7 stories.

    Ornamental grasses suck. They spread in the rock scape and just grow on the weed mat. Rock scaping sucks. There was a solid 3/4 inch of dirt in huge areas. Had to use the blower and get it out in a nice giant cloud of dust. 550lb of rock for edging moved in, over 1cu yard of mulch spread, and 4cubic yards of dirt and ornamentals hauled off.
    Well at least this should pacify the HOA Karens for a while.
    Housework always ruins a good plan to hit the range.

    I thought I was going to finally have a Friday to hit the range. I have an appointment right after lunch for some tires so probably won?t have time.

    At least it wasn?t housework for me this time.

    Thought about it. Logistics would be tight.

    My house to the range takes about an hour.

    Then range time.

    Then an hour back home and unload the truck and get the motorcycle and make the ride from Thornton down to Golden.

    That would be a lot to squeeze into the morning.

    Ha! Look what was new in stock at the GJ Sam's Club today. https://www.samsclub.com/p/a7-specia...elevance.rr0_2

    This one is fairly sophisticated with electric heated seat, heated water and drying fan. No need for a hot water line, only an outlet.

    I knew this was inevitable and now that these are in the warehouse stores bidet seats will become much more common in the U.S.A.
