    Wife last night... the cats are up to no good in the front entryway!! Me... it will be fine. Don't worry about it. Me this morning... oh sh!t they unplug the chest freezer!!!! I opened the lid and everything is still froze, which I expected. If I hadn't caught it though, somebody would have been in trouble.

    Got an interesting email in my spam/junk mail. Was from Darwin@ something. He needed to inform me that he had bought a trojan horse virus on the Dark Web that he hacked into different porn sites. Then he goes on to say I visited one that was called Exploit and now his trojan horse is in all my devices. Ok, I have been on the computer a lot, googling different ways to reinvest my money, face book and here. Don't remember coming across any site name Exploit in my google adventures. He goes on to say that he took my picture off one of my devices and added it to another picture making it look like I was doing something nasty. I got a big chuckle when he bragged it turn out really good. I am like duh... if you got a picture of me, you already got a lot of good stuff to work with!!

    He goes on to say if I send him $1650 worth of bitcoin and even tells where to go to do it... he will delete the picture and never bother me again. If I didn't, he would send the picture to all my contacts in all my devices. I am like ya right, if I was stupid enough to send the bitcoin, you would keep on because now you know I am stupid.

    He goes on to say, once I opened the email, his trojan horse virus was tracking this email. If I forwarded the email to the authorities, he would know it and send nasty "pictures" of me to all my contacts on all my devices. I am like wait now, you said you only had one picture... now you have pictures of me doing nasty stuff. Pervert!!!!! I chuckle and said to myself,,, you can track your email going from my spam box to the trash can to be deleted because I am 99.999999% sure this is not real.

    So, I drive out to put the horse away and am still chuckling about the email. It actually was entertaining. Then the thought crossed my mind... maybe it would be awesome if it was true. Still 99,9999% sure it isn't but now 10% of me kind of wishing it was true. It would be great for the following reasons...

    1. I would like to see some 20 something year old, pimple faced puke try to ruin my life. I am old school so I don't do any banking, pay bills and seldom use 1 credit card with a low amount on my devices.

    2. I have never had the desire to send the wife a d!ck picture. If he sent one to her to get even, I hope she opens the text in front of her coworkers. The phone call from her to me would be fricking EPIC.

    3. Facebook. It annoys me when the wife's relatives post stupid stuff. I can't unfriend them because the wife won't get her own facebook page. she uses mine. Her relatives are constantly posting... if you are really my friend, you will post something to this post to let me know you are really my friend. If he sent a nasty picture of me, they would unfriend me. Problem solved!!! My friends and family would just give me cr@p.

    4. If the wife's side reported me to facebook before they unfriended me and facebook banned me... It just frees up 1% of my time. No biggie.

    5. The call I get from my banker that I have been dealing with for the last 3 weeks. It would go like this... Tim when I said I needed your personal information, I didn't mean this!!!!!!! He has a great sense of humor.

    It was great weather for it. Quite windy and we did watch tons of folks out doing just that. Was an amazing trip and now we are trying to figure out how to live there semi full time. You could say I liked it.

    If y'all are grinding that flat shoulder muscle on deer (or elk), you're missing out. (IMHO).

    Treat it like a flank steak/London broil.

    I hit both sides with a jacquard (a fancy meat tenderizer) and season or marinade (the jacquard cuts the fibers and leaves nearly imperceptible holes in the meat, so marinades can also or the meat.

    Sear both sides then low and slow cook. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

    This one, I just used Montreal seasoning.

    There is a flat tendon that you need to work around on one end, but a small price to pay.

    Was having a crap day. Ya know just everything piled on all at once and I was pretty stressed out. So I put on some loud music and shot my bow while reminding myself that I have it pretty good. Nice.
