    ..and I can't tell what it is by the tracks. 3 very prominent toes with claws, even spread, and I couldn't make out much else in the snow (had filled in a bit). Scat almost looks like a coyotes. Print size is about the same as my Labs.
    So, I'll be shopping for a few trail cams. Who likes what for a reasonable price. I'll need 2, don't want to spend a bunch of money to identify an Occupy Mill Creek protester.
    Thanks, JB.

    Talk to Grizzly Adams. I think he just posted a video on barbecuing free range three toe sloths on a keyhole pit on the FHC Roku channel.

    Nope, I was a VERY careful "shop" teacher. Worst thing that ever happens was a piece of plexiglas getting kicked back on a table saw and got me VERY close to the "family jewels".

    Reminds me of a trim carpenter doing work at my house. Using a table saw, fingers near the blade.

    I offered him a push stick, said he didn't need it, being doing this for years. No guards, splitter, etc.

    Couple weeks later he swings by to finish a touch up and his fingers are bandaged up.... Yup.... Ran them into the blade.
