A buddy and I went hunting over the holiday season and picked up a moose. It was a small 5-year old male. We each ended up with 200 lbs, or somewhat less than 90 kg, of moose meat, plus all the bones. This is a welcome addition to my freezer - we have been eating moose regularly since then. I made some of it into jerky - dried strips of moose meat - after marinating it for a few days. This has turned out to be some of the best jerky I have ever made.



I've just uploaded a new pen & ink drawing. It's my first in about 15 years. I am re-discovering a love of technical pens. I have to admit, however, since it has been such a long time for me, I have forgotten much of what I learned, and will need to re-learn it. On the other hand, I don't seem to have any bad habits ingrained either, so perhaps I can start afresh?

I am greatly encouraged. Now to go on to the next one (and finish the last ones!).
