[Timo, we should trade pings in PMs, as I don't think there was an "official" overture about including YoYo, just a very neato notion. Let's check our clearance, Clarence.]

GROG been without computer 3 or 4 days. GROG just got computer back from shop, and check in to see what kind of damage you guys have done. Doesn't look TOO bad. Without Kinny posting on here, it's amzing how much more civil the thread is. That Doug Horne is trying to stir up trouble, though.

Without Kinny posting on here, it's amazing how much more civil the thread is.

Squirrel damage can be prevented by eliminating the presence of the squirrels.
Easy? Not really! Exclusion is one technique. If exclusion doesn't work, you may want to try repellents. Naphthalene(moth balls) may temporarily discourage squirrels from entering attics and other enclosed spaces.
A cat in the attic or on the premises may discourage squirrels and/or provide supplemental feed for the cat. Baiting can be used as a distraction to catch or club the varmints.

Of course the surest method and most fulfilling is stewing. Squirrel stew can't be beat! The good news in many areas there is no legal bag limit.

Squirrel Stew

~ 3 squirrels, cleaned and cut up
~ 1/4 cup all purpose flour
~ 1 teaspoon salt
~ 1/2 teaspoon pepper
~ 2 slices bacon
~ 2 tablespoons butter
~ 5 cups of water
~ 1 - 28 oz can whole tomatoes
~ 1 chopped onion
~ 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar
~ 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
~ 1 - 10 oz package frozen lima beans
~ 1 cup frozen corn
~ 3 tablespoons all purpose flour

Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper. Coat the squirrel pieces.

In a Dutch oven, combine bacon and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add squirrel and brown.

Add water, tomatoes, onion and brown sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Remove squirrel pieces and let cool. Remove meat from bones.

Add meat, potatoes, beans and corn to Dutch oven. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until potatoes are tender.

Mix 3 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of cold water, then stir into stew. Heat to boiling.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, bubbly.

Serve with warm rolls and enjoy!

Is that topless mermaid gonna be there? If so, count me IN!!!

UPDATE! With regret, I must announce that Eileen has had to cancel. My apologies to anyone who was planning on purchasing TikiMag stuff.

Are drinks gonna fly if the Soccer's and Tiki Kate are all there tonight?

Should be a Good Time Tonight!!!
( with all the heat here last week!!)

Take lot's of pics!!

Hopefully everybody will be too busy buying stuff and drinking alcohol to let their differences get in the way. Also, GROG carry a club, and GROG not scared to use it.
