!!1) porterhouse with bake potato, Caesar salad, grilled asparagus, shrimp cocktail as a starter, upside down pineapple cake.
2) South Carolina, USA.
3)no, no

5) First job was in 1968, when lawn mower would not vacuum up pinecones. I as paid a dollar to run ahead of the lawn mower & pick up pine cones.
I was eight years old, I worked on the farm before that, but my pay as room & board so it does not count. i learned a great deal about plant, tools & skills. I worked with that man part time, even after I had a forty hour job in the 80's, still use many of those skills today.

Great questions Dave!!
The Judge/ Kitty Kat/ 44 Black hawk. depends on which is nearest and how big the bump.
Crows. they tell me things.
Cat, a little bit wolf, dogs are creepy.

Not anymore.
Crows are amazing!! They have great communication skills!!
Did you know that banging two pieces of steel together calls them? they got so used to all the wars in the Dark Ages it literally became their dinner bell!

1.) My dogs, Winchester 20 gauge
2.) pileated woodpecker. I’ve seen them once in my property but I can’t seem to get them to come to my suet feeders. I enjoy the crows and throw out dog food kibble for them to eat.
3.) I have both cats and dogs. Love them all.
4.) twenty four
5.) I just grow a couple of tomato plants and eat the tomatoes as they ripen. I mostly plant flowers.

Benelli M4 12ga with loaded with No. 4 buckshot
2. What species of bird gets you most excited when you see one?
Chic-fil-A
3. Cat person or Dog Person, or Both?
I like most dogs, I hate most cats. Which I think is mutual. Most dogs like me and most cats don't.
4. How many states have you visited? (you can count the ones you lived in)
If I had to guess, I would say 17-18. I have flown over others or rode through some in a bus that I didn't count.
5. Do you garden and preserve/can your harvest?
I tried to make refrigerator pickles once. They were just okay. Now I just go to the farmer's market and buy jars of stuff someone else with more skill and experience than I have produced.

Hee, hee!
I haven't made everybody slog thru my answers so they will have to endure a short story....
I made it a habit to celebrate my 2A rights every Friday the 13th and carry.
My thinking was, if I was in a convenience store, and some guy picked Friday the 13th to rob it, he would have bad luck.
I had a new boss at work (younger than me) who spotted me and went ballistic (pun).
"You can't do that, it is against the rules!!!"
Little did he know, as a supervisor for years, you could hand me an employee handbook and in 20 minutes, I could quote any important part of it.
I replied: "That's not in the handbook".
He walked back to his office in a huff...
3 weeks later, every employee, in every branch of the company, in 4 states, had to sign a paper saying they had received the 'new' handbook
.....Same as the old one, except for Ooooone page.
I felt special.

2. Birds are cool but don’t really trip my trigger unless in the oven or on the table.
3. Dog person but also like cats.
4. I’ll count 6 States as actually visiting, but traveled through over 20. Vast majority were either on my bike or with a motorhome or camper.
5. Currently no, but gardening and preserving is on my bucket list.
