Nothing Should Be Wasted
As I'd mentioned earlier, Tom was in Orlando for a Microsoft convention two weeks ago. He returned home on a Friday night from hobnobbing all week with big-wigs. Then, on Saturday, he was doing this: skinning a raccoon. Nothin' like a little culture shock, huh?!
The first picture is self-explanatory.
In the second one, the body (belly up) is to the left while the skin (with a THICK winter's coat of fur) is neatly peeled off it.
And, the third photo shows Tom's salting it down to dry. Now, it's stretched and tacked on a board and is drying the woodshed.
If you are familiar with me and where I live, please respect my right to retain some anonymity by not referring to me by anything other than Chicken Mama nor mentioning city/town/villages by place names. Thanks!
Grody to the max! Remind me NOT to eat next time I check your blog!! R u going to make a hat from it?
