Re several recent posts:

We let the Ammonia refrigerant out of an ancient refrigerator - the kind with 'hair curlers' on top - so we could re-use the compressor. It took a good hack with a hatchet to break the copper coils. But what we didn't anticipate, was the ammonia gas vapor cloud killed the beautiful Orange tree we did this under. Aunt never figured out why her favorite backyard tree suddenly died. But she had suspicions because my cousin was always doing stuff like this.

An acquaintance of his (a genuine teen Berkeley radical super-loon) wanted to run an acetylene cylinder into the city gas main to make simultaneous explosions at kitchens all over the neighborhood. We talked him out of it. I think. Or maybe it just didn't work.

Going to visit my cousin was always interesting.


As for dogs and dishwashing that's what we always told first time guests at the remote mining claim. First, everyone throw your paper napkins into the empty serving dishes. We start dishwashing by wiping out the pots with those napkins, so we don't pollute the creek. That was for real. Then: 'Just put your plates on the ground for the dogs, we'll wash them after they're licked clean'. :) Got some interesting reactions. :D (We didn't really let that happen!)

And yet people will encourage dogs to lick their face. It's possible to sanitize the dishes, a bit harder to sanitize skin.

One of the sons friends used to stop by just as we were sitting down to eat dinner. First couple times we were polite and did the dishes after he left. The third time I put all the dishes on the floor and let the dogs clean the plates. Then put them in the cupboard. :laughing: After he left, we cleaned out the cupboards and ran everything through the dishwasher.

Once word got through the high school, non of the kids friends would stay for dinner :woohoo::dance:

If they saw what a dog will eat there would be a lot fewer people getting kisses. :eek:

It's why women that favour BIG dogs as close house pets, has always been somewhat of a turn off.

I listened to my dog give herself a half hour tongue colonoscopy every night... Still starting the search for a new dog now that she passed though. Yes to the doggy dishes prewash but **** no to any face licking. Face licking is a very ancien wolf thing for checking on what food packmates may or may not have found without you.

Saw this today. Have no idea if it’s legal but I reckon it is. Sure seems like a lot of weight up high. IMG_2740.JPG

Cow, deer, rabbit and bear poop are all in the Border Collies diet. She gets hollered at endlessly but still tries to sneak in a snack if possible. No kisses, never allowed that.
