you'd almost have to give it a name, put a collar on it, take it for walks

very long, but not very far walks.

Good idea, thanks! I have mobility issues and walk pretty slow.. If I go blind I want one for a seeing-eye-snail.

It’s a very quiet emotional support pet.

Hanging out in a neighbors front yard.

Completely oblivious to all the neighborhood dogs who were anything but oblivious to him.

Safer to hang out in the neighborhood with dogs than out of town where all the guys with guns are this time of year.

Heck, the deer in my neighborhood will actually look both ways before crossing the street. They have learned well after generations of them have feasted on all of our landscaping.

While on a walk last week I caught a large buck eating a pumpkin on the front doorstep of a house. I had no idea that pumpkin was on their diet...

The regulations are quite convoluted around here, but I'm pretty sure it's bow season right now. Muzzleloader season starts 11/2 and firearms season 11/16.

The deer around here seem to eat a whole lot of stuff that they used to turn up their noses at back when we first moved in 26 years ago. Makes sense I guess considering that the population has probably quadrupled.

Here in Western MA, the deer go after <insert different green varietal here> each year, and you never know what you're going to lose.

One year, about 6 years ago, the long, exceptionally snowy, winter ended with all my hemlocks denuded at about the 4-1/2 to 5' level.

Best do this around noon. If you try it early or late in the day you'll be lost unless you live near the equator.

 

[day_trippr]

How tall is the "stick"?
We have a sundial and for sure the distance between two points 15 minutes apart is nowhere near as significant as illustrated...

Cheers!

I don't think it really matters, I think I saw in a caption around 3 meters

 

[day_trippr]

Well...three meters (!) would certainly cast a much longer shadow than nearly any conventional sun dial (which typically have a gnomon under 6 inches height) so perhaps it might work...

Cheers!

 

[balrog]

PFSH!

In Boy Scouts they showed us how to use a stick and a watch. With a sundial you have to carry around your Equation of Time correction tables.

'Course, if you're out in the woods, cooking fish or heaven knows what on an open fire, you likely have no need for super accurate time, but that's not important here.

When I was in the Boy Scouts, they taught us how to use a compass.

... and when without watch or compass, how to use the stars.

Sticks, compass, watch… allow me to save you from yourselves.

Use your sun screen! 3.5 hours at dermatologist doing Mohs for pea sized basil cell skin cancer ends up like this. One of many I've had over the years.

Woof! Sound advise! Have a beer and heal up soonest!

Cheers!

A speedy recovery to you @Rish

Oh man, I'm sorry you have to go through that. Hopefully they got it all. Unfortunately I know quite a few people around my (our?) age that have had to go through similar procedures. For the past several years I've made it a point to schedule a full-body exam with my Dermatologist. She has had to freeze off a couple precancerous spots, but otherwise good so far.

 

[GrogNerd]

I had the Mohs done a couple years ago.

not near as large or as close to the eye.

It was right after the Caps won the Stanley Cup... I was telling people I was hit by a puck & it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!
