[R-390] off topic

Thu, 1 Aug 2002 21:24:44 -0400

OK, here is a clip from the original e-mail from Nolan in May of 1999.  My
wife says I don't throw anything away, and I guess I don't delete much
either.

One Saturday morning that fall, I nailed a pretty decent sized deer
and decided to butcher it in the parking lot. I bought me a sheet of
5/8" plywood, a roll of visqueen and a new halfsized metal trashcan to
use as a gutbucket, on the way home. I put the tailgate down on the
old GMC, slid the plywood out about six feet or so and supported the
other end of the plywood with two folding lawnchairs and then covered
the whole thing with a couple of thicknesses of visqueen. It made
pretty decent table. With the weight of the deer on it, it bowed the
plywood down enough so that the blood would run off of the table on
each side of the middle. I put the gutbucket on one side and the lid
on the other to catch the drippings. No mess at all.
