The grower told me how to trim my trees to get better fruit! Also, canning peppers and more tomatoes. <br /><br />Then sometime, I got to sight in the hunting weapons; the AR-15 and the Beretta .22 caliber pistol. <br /><br />I canned meat a couple of years ago as an experiment and it still looks as fresh as the day that I did it! I hear that canned venison is actually very good, but it's because you have to put melted beef fat over the meat.Rick Kepplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-62667723410694297512012-07-14T07:13:20.308-07:002012-07-14T07:13:20.308-07:00It's actually illegal to shoot beaver.

One doesn't eat beaver very often, but once you start, you don't want to stop! It's an acquired taste since not everyone likes eating beaver. Most women find eating beaver tail to be disgusting.

If someone shoots a score of 70 and their partner shoots 100, regulations state that the lower score has to take half the difference so both golfers shoot 85. That way no feelings are hurt and the person who actually achieved over the non-achiever has satisfaction of knowing that he gave his fair share while also avoiding hurt feelings by the loser.<br /><br />The same goes for anyone finding lost balls in the rough.
