Sips coffee, doing these postings, I’m doin a great service as in sharing stuff, like wisdom and keen insight, among other stuff. Manly, keeping everyone grounded in reality. Some reality for ya. Opposums are nocturnal, sneaky bastards for short.
Some stuff worth knowing
EPM:
EPM is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It’s caused by the microbe, Sarcocystis neurona, commonly found in the opossum. Horses that come in contact with infected opossum feces can develop neurologic disease, it is a serious disease that some horses may not survive even with treatment.
Them bastards can get up to 11 to 13 pounders. Who you gonna call, me, or some whine-ass bleating ECO-cultist from the Sierra club. Look up what those scumbags wanna do, nothing good that for sure, rent OUR lands to 3rd party assholes, as in sure, you can go in 50 miles, spend an hour then turn around and leave. no hiking, no camping, no fishing, hunting or trapping… nothing, you filthly peasants. If a child or a dog gets close to one, and it feels cornered, keep in mind their teeth are like needles, they will get very aggressive. With winter here and ratdog having been cleaned up, I figured it’s about time I start in on his winter coat. Ever try to measure a dog that can smell cow rasins, I’m here to tell ya, it’s not easy. What the hell is a cow rasin? (not from around here are ya). Well, a grape that’s been dried & wilted looking has become a rasin, no so different than a slab of cow, deer, elk, bear and a few other assorted critters. One big difference between a grape and a cow, grapes don’t get smoked!
That opposum isn’t playing dead, it is dead, thinking I’ll have to widen the eye holes some for the ratdog. Some batting, some velcro, might add some doo-dads, this isn’t a project that calls for thing-ma-jigs. He’s looking happy like gnawing on a cow rasin for breakfast, he’s learning, it’ll be ok, just different
