Outrail posted:A buddy and I have processed several deer in my garage and I did one on my own last year. neither one of us had done it before and had no idea what we were doing beyond a basic understanding of food safety. It's really not that hard at all once you get over being squeamish about it all. A guy I worked with back in 1999 or so did part time deer processing in a property his dad left him He made enough from deer season work to pay for two nascar race vacations a year and his main job paid another $45K on top of that, which was a huge amount of money in rural PA back then.

I’ve got a dream of getting a food truck and gutting it so it’s nothing but stainless steel sinks and countertops and one fuckoff big meat grinder and doing on site butchering at deer and elk camps during seasons. I do a little bit of butchering for friends every year and usually take home some meat in exchange, it’s a pretty good deal.

More Farmington, Maine: The Narrow Gauge Cinema, the new movie theatre in town. Built as a four screen multiplex, a fifth was added after a couple years. Most are small and basic, but one is large and fancifully decorated. They save that for fancy films. I don't go to many movies, but I saw The Artist there. Seen here from up in front of the old train station, which is higher, to get a view of Mount Blue in the distance. The mountain is actually in Weld, but we consider it ours. Lots of stuff named after it. One of the highest peaks in New England! #49 on a list of 50, but it still counts!  The Narrow Gauge Drive-In. Like the cinema itself, it takes its name from the Sandy River and Rangely Lakes narrow gauge railroad. Predates COVID, if you can believe it, but it was the Narrow Gauge's primary business before indoor cinemas were allowed to re-open. To the left is the Big Sky Grill. To the right is an optometrist. Theatre ahead. We're on the intervale, of course, so flooding is an issue. (The Internet tells me the word "intervale" is unknown outside of New England. A low-lying tract of land by a river. Think "floodplain" -- the terms aren't dissimilar. Although why you don't have a very simple word like intervale, I don't know. It's like when I learned you call elastics "rubber bands". Madness.)  The back of the screen. I'd estimate it was sixty feet wide. The platform in front is a stage, recently built, for live performances. Bob Marley (the living Mainer comedian and UMF alumnus, not the dead Jamaican singer) has been there more than once.  The bed of the old Sandy River and Rangely Lakes spur that ran to the station. Now it terminates at the river. The bridge, were it there, would allow one to hike all the way to Jay on the Whistlestop Trail, but it washed away in the thaw of 1996. They've been trying to rebuild it exactly as it was ever since, but the cost would be nearly a million dollars and they've never been able to raise it. Since COVID, a lot of city people from NYC and Boston have moved to the area (people "from away" to use the nomenclature) since COVID doesn't really exist here and not all of them have places to live lined up. Some are camped by the river. I do hope they realize that, come winter, that isn't going to be an option. As it is, starting in West Farmington across the river, the Whistlestop Trail is a popular means of reaching Walmart while avoiding the very busy Routes 2 & 4. There are paths all over avoiding the roads, if you know about them.  Last known photo of the bridge.  The art gallery, in the commons of the university behind Preble and Ricker. In the distance is the steeple of the Congregational Church. The Congregationalists are the descendants of the Puritans and are concentrated mostly in New England.  The Abbotts had unusual tastes and a great deal of money. This is one of a number of scale-replica Venetian bridges over Beaver Brook built by Abbott  Mary Jane's Slice of Heaven, something of a pizzeria, something more of a bar. I don't find their pizzas to be all that good, although they make a decent vegetarian poutine. Needs more curds, but you can request them.   There's, like, no pictures of their food or people eating it online. I'm going to have to order something from them, aren't I? Ortho fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Sad I didn't get to go to Oshkosh this year and last, thanks to covid and tons of work. My parents flew in two years ago and camped next to their plane and had a lot of fun. It's a good chance to visit with them since I live a couple of miles away, and they need me to bring camping stuff anyway. Tons of people as you can imagine and lots of neat planes to see that are operational. I saw the Blue Angels there for the first time when I was 5 or 6. Still remember laying on top of the RV and having the poo poo scared out of me when they did their sneak pass.

Hey Aardvark, do you take requests for noncontiguous states? If so, I nominate ##Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska and ##Kauaʻi County, Hawai'i.

You're coming from the north. Try to guess which road you should stay on at the crossroads:   Or here in Farmington, where one of the street names changes whether you're going north or south Ortho fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Aug 24, 2021 |

euphronius posted:Why does your maps lable every country club and golf course. Not complaining just wondering i started using the same site for consistency on the maps because i wanted it to show both location in state and state within country in one image for our foreign friends. then it turned out the website itself is wildly inconsistent. the counties around seattle are fully interactive, for example, or the level of detail in Winnebago, and then you get something like this:  i find it kind of endearing. you can pay them for "Custom Mapping" and they advertise it everywhere, maybe somebody paid for their county? no idea
