A friend taught me to use a staff. Recently I got a shillelagh, same principle... and there is a martial arts style based on the shillelagh. I'm trying to become an Irish citizen so I need to fit in! I helped my cousin a lot when younger with bail enforcement... they call them "bounty hunters" in the movies. That was a learning experience. Hey I'm typin' bold!!!

Yeah I saw that shillelagh thing I think you posted the other week. We use cricket bats. Kidding. Maybe.

Great tune.

Bumper crop of acorns this year.

I probably will gather them up for the next while and put them out later in the winter for the resident deer.

Double reply. Oh well.
I saw a show here last week where a lady in greece make acorn flour and biscuits out of it. Supposed to be highly nutritious.

A trick we did with caps. 22 cal air rifle. Two of those caps fitted in the hollow end of the slug. Crimp it, load it backwards, mini exploding air rifle round.

Acorns are edible. Native Americans used them quite a bit from what I've read. The trouble is they contain tannins which make them bitter, so you have to soak them to leach the tannins out before they're palatable. Different types of oak have varying levels of tannins. I've not tried them myself, but have always found it an interesting possibility.

Oh, and good morning, everyone!

Good morning!
Our acorn crop was a failure this yr. I have red, pin, burr and black. Only the black has them this yr. The cemetery up the road has 30 huge white oaks and I didn’t see a single acorn when I drove thru. Plenty of walnuts but not a bumper crop. The critters will be hungrier this winter.
