RE: Weekend-engagement week 66: Teleport anywhere

After my trying to tell you all the Canadian horror stories and you still want to come visit? I'm impressed. Looks at collection of worse Canadian horror stories for future posts

The stories keep missing the important point. It's not like I'm going to step there and turn into a Wendigo or so. Keep throwing them. I've got plenty of gruesome tales about stuff happening around here everyday of the week and more than once every day. 🤣

What are these Viking Raids you speak of? Why have I not been informed and where's my sword?

You have sign up with G-dog. He's the Chieftain for these raids. I'm just there to split skulls and the loot after we are done raiding. 🤣

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Be sure to put me down if I ever turn into such horror!

I'll have to see if I have the merit to measure up more than a minuscule for Viking Raids. I don't have a sword after all. Save the bones, I'll carve them. 😉

Hmm...Ok, let me add that to the list of lootable things.. Any bones in specific?

[bertrayo]

Ha, ha, ha. I see. Well, one does what one can.

Bone is an interesting material. Tougher than wood. I always save the round we get from cows after making soup. I should be making nuts and saddles for instruments with them, but I haven't started with it since it's not that easy.

Gonna try a beach walk to see what things I can find.

🤣 How diplomatic of you.

Pointless fact Did you know the Venezuelan Ambassador in Canada is from my hometown? He was a terrible Governor and they gave him that Embassy as prize. Don't ask me why because we still don't get it.

For bone, don't boil it, that makes it brittle and unsuitable for carving. It is tougher than wood but not as tough as antler, ivory, and horn.

Well, these bones were cooked and are still tough as nails. I have to dig on them to see if they break.

You could make the nuts and saddles. You'll want the shank bone from a cow, that's the best for carving material, due to thickness and strength. To clean bone, you can either bury it and let the maggots clean it. That takes too long though, so I use two percent hydrogen peroxide and soak it in that. Depending on what you start with, it make take a few soakings and you'll need to let it sit one to two weeks, or longer, until it's at the state you want it to be at. Clean as much tissue and so forth off the bone before you do this process. That will make it faster and easier.

Oh, nice insight. I can go with option three and give it to my aunt's dog until it's wiped clean? Or is it too dangerous?

Beach cleans everything so nicely and there's always things to find. Even along lakes and rivers I've found things.

I might find something interesting around there.
