Okay, I gotta tell you this.

I trapped a skunk, and I extracted rhe essence. After extraction, I always poke the needle into an old water bottle to clean out the syringe by pulling some water into the syringe and flushing it out.

My son Max went out to my workshop to work on his sister's snowmobile and needed a bottle to put a little gas into. Seeing the bottle on my fur table (covered in fur processing supplies), he opened the bottle and decided to take a swig before dumping it!

I get home and he asks what was in the bottle and then tells me his stomach felt funny.

I almost fell over laughing.

Never drink from any bottle in a fur shed!


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure
