well then, I have always wanted a tender....
             - Mike

It's yours, Mike!  Please PM me a mailing address.  I'm afraid I can't mail it until next week; I'm away from home in New Hampshire attending to a sick parent.  :(

But... I got to ride through the White Mountains to get here!  8)

Ice - I got my saddlecan in the mail last night.  Thanks Again!

Oh!  And look it here.....  My black cat, Marley, just brought home the biggest mouse I've ever seen and puts it on the floor right by me.  Gross dude.     :o  Actually it's kind of funny, at the end of spring he was outside for a full 24 hours.  He finally comes back all jacked up covered in pine sap and barely able to walk.  I came to the conclusion that he was climbing a tree, got attacked by a bird and fell out of the tree and punctured his skin by his lung/s.  He didn't go outside for a couple weeks.  Then when he did, he ran for cover every time he saw a bird flying above.  Well, a couple months go by and he's back to himself.  Kind of.  In the last 6 weeks he has killed or maimed 4 birds, 2 mice, and 2 grasshoppers.  And he keeps bringing everything inside and dropping on the floor in front us like "Hey!  Look what I caught you guys!  It's just for you!"

Had to share that, because that is how I woke this morning.  Poured a cup of coffee and saw this.   ;D

ANYWAYS...  Thanks Ice for the saddlecan!

Your cat is probably trying to tell you, "Hey dude.  I found this really neat toy and playing with it was a blast while it worked.  After a while the dam thing broke and it won't go by itself anymore.
I know you can fix stuff so here's your chance to show me how it's done."

Actually, we've had several cats that became fanatics about playing fetch.  Their favorite toys were wadded up cigarette packages which they would drop next to anyone sitting in the room.
Pick it up and throw it anywhere and like a streak the cat was on it.
After a few whacks with the paw and a bite or two, the cat would return at a fast trot and drop it again saying, "Do it again!"

Ha ha ha!  Yeah, a stray that moved into our house likes to chase hair scrungies.  She wants to chase hard and slam into the wall or something, then trots back and drops them next to me.  She eats crickets and spiders, never brings them to us.

Marley was a stray that we rescued when he was only a few months old.  He LOVES being outside and he catches all of these critters in the wild!  One day he brought home a bird, that wasn't dead yet, and gave it to our other cat out on the porch, Emma, and she starts laying on her back and tossing this poor bird up in the air acting like it was a catnip toy.  20 minutes later, it was missing its head.  It's funny and entertaining.  Until I have to remove the carcass.

I'm sure if you go to Africa you can see a lion doing the same thing to a deer of some type.  ;)

I've got my tender on the way so I started digging for those last few Enfield parts that I
still have....   only thing left is an e-start motor and harness and I'm NOT paying
shipping on that.
    Went down to our local Farmers Market and picked up a couple bottles of fresh
local grown and processed Garlic, 1 powder and  1 granules.
      IF you are going to jump on this you'd better like Garlic; this is the real deal!
1st. reply HERE with a corresponding PM gets it....

I don't want to be greedy and snag this deal as well, but I am interested in knowing where I can buy it locally Mike.  I'm a garlic FANATIC!  I put it in everything!  Plus I enjoy buying locally and supporting my home state.  :)

I'm also a HUGE pepper freak!  I keep 4 different kinds of ground pepper in the house, my favorites being ground jalapeno and ground cayenne pepper.  I also enjoy grilling jalapenos and pabalono pepprs with jack cheese when I'm grilling/smoking meat.  SUPER yummy!   ;D

Well, it looks like no one is interested in the garlic spices, so I guess I will take you up on that offer baird4444.
