We only ever had one of them, a guy who, once made welcome, began to
drop in for dinner 3 or 4 days a week.  The last time was the time I
lugged in a freshly shot porcupine and Peggy commenced to skin and gut
it for supper.  The unwelcome guest left before mealtime and
didn't return.  Didn't need to resort to oxygen deprivation which
would, in any case, have been messy what with none of the new cobalt
wunderstoff available then.

Yes, we ate the porcupine although we don't make a regular habit of
it.  It kinda spoiled out appetite for porcupine when we hit one with
a huge number of writhing flatworms in its guts.


ObBlacksmithing:

New upper die insert for the 300# A&O is at the machinst's.  If he's
successful in drilling and tapping the original die for 4 holes
1/2x13, we might have a go at using it late this week. Lower die
insert was easy and works fine.  If all goes well, pics will be
forthcoming.
