Actually, also really glad there wasn't a shootist on the other side of the deer, now I come to think of it...  :think:

That was a bit of a thought for me too, Fuzzy. For that reason I carried a small red day pack and wore a bright blue t-shirt.  :tu:

I was wondering about something...are you carrying a sidearm when you go out into the woods? I do.

Depends, Ray.

Black bears and Mountain Lions have been spotted in this area. (And in my back yard.) Some people carry 'Bear Spray', a few handguns.

Rightly or wrongly, black bears and lions don't excite me much, so on this last hike, I carried........a hiking stick.

However! When I go to places that are known for grizzly sightings, especially during hunting season, when inadvertent confrontation is more likely, I do carry either bear spray or a .44 Magnum. (Sometimes a .45LC with hot loads.) Honestly, I have more faith in the handguns, but some places (Wildlife refuges) don't allow firearms.

I've never seen a lion in the wild (My wife has.). All my bear encounters developed and resolved very quickly, and without incident. Fortunately. So....I have mixed thoughts on the whole subject. Still, it's easy to carry a .44, and a tool is a tool.

I agree...a last resort. Revolver is my first choice and the minimum is a 45LC, 41 or 44 Magnum. With an auto a 10mm. They are a tool. There if you need it. Thanks  :cheers:

Saw and hook today. I also finally found my missing Sebertool M3 I've been carrying with it most of the challenge. That handled a recessed Phillips screw on a drawer the can opener couldn't get.

Lesney Matchbox No. 61 Alvis Stalwart. This was a piece I restored. This was mint, save a few dings and a few missing tires. I had another, in rough shape, missing tarp, and some of the wheels and tires melted. I took the good tires off that and put it onto the better one. Between these two, I have about $3 invested, as opposed to $15 for one in comparable shape to my results. I've done all sorts of research and can't really find any evidence of British Petroleum using Stalwarts for oil exploration, but it seems plausible.

Time for new tags for the cats. The can opener spread the key rings on their collars much easier than I could have done without it.

Like the Stolly there Cody. Had one when I was young and it was a favourite Matchbox vehicle for its space age shape. I believe the exhausts stand in the middle of the loading bay and get very hot. Whether that's a great idea for a flammable load is worth thinking through .... I'm sure BP knew what they were doing :think:

Been out for a walk in the woods. A couple of families of Long Tailed Tits were working their way through the trees. It's clearly a good time for fungi because there were various fruiting bodies throughout the wood. Also came across a holly tree awash with vibrant red berries. This always beats a good day in the office whatever the weather.
