No wonder the mice have departed. The survivors, that is.

Now I want snakes again.

Will you settle for a pet Moose? Not this one, he dead.

BigV · 10-13-2018, 09:54 PM

good lord.

How did he get it in the truck?

Winch it up on a gantry and back the truck under it?

Electric stoves with visible elements have the same cabinet as gas stoves. The hole in the back is for the co2 module on a gas stove. My brother had a gas stove and one night we heard a loud boom in the kitchen. The module had enough and exploded. It was an old stove and was time for a new one anyway.

Got roaches and can't get rid of them. Spray em, fog em, call the exterminator. Nooo go out in the yard and catch a couple green lizards and put in the kitchen cabinet. Sometimes I have to replace one as the cats like lizards to play with.

OK, WTF is a "63 rank moose?"

xoxoxoBruce · 10-14-2018, 11:52 AM

Don't know, that was the caption on the picture, but I'd assume it's the spread of the rack.

Diaphone Jim · 10-15-2018, 11:23 AM

Google doesn't seem to know either.

Never heard that phrase before.

Possibly ranked 63rd in a list, such as the B&C Records mentioned, or maybe Pope & Young Club Records.

I'd go with spread of antler, expressed in inches.

If that's a "journalist's" work, though, they prolly didn't know wtf they were talking about.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-15-2018, 04:59 PM

Boone and Crockett was my first thought but by their system a big moose would be at least 200.
I wasn't familiar with Pope-Young but they apparently use the same scoring system as Boone and Crockett.

Want to see a Canadian take a record moose with an arrow from 3 yards away?

Huntsman spiders eat frogs/toads too.

Diaphone Jim · 10-19-2018, 11:45 AM

With the Cellar's rare failing to come through, I guess that "63 rank" must just mean "dead" in New Brunswick.

Gravdigr · 10-19-2018, 02:04 PM

Google search for "63 rank moose"...

xoxoxoBruce · 10-19-2018, 04:54 PM

In New Brunswick 63 rank means 63 inch spread on the rack.
