Glad you got up that thing Jens. Was your gear from the winter bail still there? Nobody bootied it eh? Guess that route really doesn't get done much.

Monkey bushmeat is commonly consumed in tropical Africa. Monkey meat is prepared fresh in rural areas. It is also smoked to preserve it and allow it to be sent to market in the cities. A common sight along rural roads is smoked whole monkeys for sale, tales tied to heads to make carrying handles. Fresh monkey meat is often cooked in a Tomato Sauce made from tomatoes, chile peppers, and onions. Smoked monkey meat can be prepared in a Tomato-Peanut sauce: Soak the smoked meat in water, then rinse and drain it. Fry tomatoes, onions, chile pepper, in hot palm oil. Add tomato paste and the monkey meat. Simmer until all is tender. Season with salt and pepper. MMMmmmm!!! That's good monkey!

BUMP! I'm gonna claim the goodies attached to the chalk bag if I don't hear from the owner soon.

What does "living in Iowa" taste like?

Wouldn't you get the same effect with wet sandpaper? This is why dogs are more popular as pets than cats.
