We took the long way home to swing by this place that has the elk. (The first place we went by has llamas, but they were all in hiding from the rain - couldn't get a decent shot...)

Anyway, don't really have a story, per se, but it was a good reason to ride the extra 20 miles or so.



Very cool. Now I want one of those in my freezer.

Brought to mind how for so many years I tried to figure out what a 'yet' is. Read a story about a woman who had been shot and the newspaper said the "bullet was in her yet."

I like elk a lot. It looked like that big sucker in the background would fill a freezer up!

Sad story - about 10 years ago, I started having problems digesting steak. Sucked bad, 'cause I *LOVE* a good piece of prime rib. Got to a point where I was in severe pain any time I ate beef at all - even a hamburger or what little was in pepperoni on a pizza. Finally got to where I couldn't even deal with French Onion soup, 'cause it has beef broth in it, and I had to be careful eating out, because chicken would be grilled on the same flat top as a burger.

I haven't had an actual burger in like 7 years.

I can eat venison and elk in small portions. Elk, to me, is a serious treat, along with boar. Don't know why...

Fortunately, I have a father-in-law who LIVES to hunt, and goes on an annual pilgrimage to CO to get an elk. The guy almost never gets skunked on a hunt - takes like 20 deer a season, and feeds everyone.

They should just rename this thread the "Ragnar and Jam" photo challenge!!!! Apparently they seem to have a little of EVERYTHING where they live. Good job guys.

And on a side note, (Ragnar) where can those zombie garden gnomes be found? Those things are awesome! I'd love to decorate my front yard with those.

I just saw a ton of those at one of the local "temp" Halloween stores that always pop up this time of year... "Spirit Halloween" was it's name.

As for me, I have entirely too much free time on my hands...

Seems like we've both had a good bit of luck finding stuff here, but yeah, I live in a strange place. My house seems like it's in the middle of NOWHERE - can see one neighbor and a hundred cows - but am literally less than 10 minutes from most everything I'd need, and about 45 minutes from Madison for the rare occasion I need something more or I need to remind myself why I live in the middle of nowhere and generally hate cities/city mentality.

I do ride a LOT, and all over, and have always kept an eye open for different or strange things. That my wife finds this challenge thing to be at least as much of a safe, fun distraction as I do is a bonus - I'd have to give her credit for a few of the finds or the challenge ideas.

Aren't they wicked? First time I saw some was on Etsy, and they were bizarre. If I had some, I'd probably leave them up all year! I already have a little concrete skeleton laying down in the rocks by my shop. Sounds like Jam found a source for some. I haven't seen them in person anywhere yet, but you can bet that I'll be hard pressed to leave without them if I find them at a reasonable price. Last year, there were some at ShopKo (similar to WalMart, I guess), that was a male, female, and dog skeleton gnomes, about 1 foot tall. They were around $50 each, so I passed, then missed out on the clearance after the season. Why someone didn't want them for a Christmas gift is beyond me - I'd have loved it!

Pretty soon it will be snowing in PA and WI and Jam and Ragnar will be SOL. Then rest of us will have a chance.. Just kidding it is cool to see the thread move so quickly. I was gonna get a zebra for the last challenge but I couldn't get there until Sunday.

The zombie gnomes are at the Spirit Halloween store down here too. I set up a pretty cool grave yard each year and was gonna get a couple.

Me too, sort of. I finally parked the bike in mid-January. Now, I have a hose and drain in my heated garage, so I can wash the salt off...

So... next up, how about going back to the Gothic stuff... being October and all - someone's bound to have a gargoyle. Gargoyles kick butt. That, or an undead garden gnome. I find them to be hilarious. Yeah, I'm a bit twisted, but hey... gotta love me!

Glasses (or a pint of O-neg) on the seat!







I've got a gargoyle tattoo on my junk would that count? I'd be hard to get the bike and my junk in he pic but I could give it a try. And those zombie gnomes are badass.
