There&#8217;s a ton of stuff to see, but nothing that I wanted to buy.  Though, I must say, I was tempted by the Jerky pistol.  Sort of like a calking gun, except that you load it up with meat and extrude it to then make jerky in a dehydrator.  And I do love me some jerky.    But, I resisted &#8211; mainly since I don&#8217;t have either a meat grinder or a dehydrator &#8211; two essential components in making jerky.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back, I saw several trucks with dead deer on them &#8211; hunting season, I expect.  One unfortunate deer was arranged face up over the back spare tire of a jeep &#8211; legs splayed open.  And torso flayed open.  I glanced over and was looking directly at deer ribs.  Not exactly a pleasent view.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the weekend was pretty good and reasonably quiet &#8211; though we were also kitten sitting Scooby (yes, I know that&#8217;s a dog&#8217;s name).  This little fur-ball was all teeth and claws &#8211; which he loved to use.  Then we bought a squirt-bottle.
