Não foda com a polícia, Eddie. Você será cadela de Rodrigo quando eles o põem na prisão. :o
I had the distinct pleasure of staring down the barrel of a .44 Redhawk once that was applied to the end of my nose. Looked like the Holland tunnel from that perspective. No fun at all.
Josh:
Yeah I know the feeling too. I was robbed at gunpoint at the video store I used to work at. The guy even asked his accomplice (which was his girlfriend I found out after they were caught) if he could "shoot this one" while he was pointing the gun at me. She talked him out of it and they ran off. The police caught them because a customer who happened to be a bailbondsman happened to see them fleeing the store so he chased them in his car till the police caught up with them. Glad he didn't get away. :)

Hey, David, We finally got busy down here and I'm getting some work done. I've got 8 more to drill then head home for awhile and then come back down in the future to finish the rest. Yep, I was petty her, all these cows come up to you here. Yesterdday was the prettiest day we had in a week and a half. The guys don't want to work Sunday so it's back to taking pictures for me at Time and a half. ;D Steve, I think the scariest part of that 45 was not understanding what he was saying and he kept it pointed at me the whole time. The white stuff is a combination of the tongue, feed with salt and the sun. They plant corn for the cows here and when it's mature the gring it up plant, corn and all. That's the cattle feed.

An adventure at every turn ! :o The ground corn plant, sounds like our silage. They use a lot of that in Montana. Drill, Drill, Drill, and get home for the last of the Turkey season...... ;D Other than the gun in the face, sounds like it has been a very nice trip. :) Have you seen any reeds, or boo like stuff for arrows down there? How are the leather products down there? Oh, if there is a Music store there check and see if they have Giannini Guitars there. I would like to get another classical guitar. I can't find them here anymore. years ago, I had a twelve string one, and I gave it to my Girlfriend, and a Friend of mine had a classical one, and I really liked the sound of it. If they do, and you can do so without too much of a hassle, I would like to get one, depending on much they want to charge a touristo. I can send money, or pay you when you get back. I don't know if they will let you carry it on, or you wold have to pay extra for baggage. That is one of the reasons I don't fly any more. They are thieves. Check out the You Tube video of "United Breaks Guitars"......Anyway, I hope all is well, the stack is stable, and the creek don't rise, and you can get back home, safe and sound, no more pistol barrel imprints on your forehead. By the way, do you know the model of the Taurus? ::) A Friend of mine is wanting to buy one. I can tell him it is an intimidating weapon, from a reliable source....... ;D He is wanting to get the millennium model in .45 . ;)
Well keep us updated on your travels, and adventures, local cuisines, beers, and other alcoholic drinks, and such things that would be of interest to us. Any Blow guns? Accoutrement's? We are waiting for the next installment of the adventures of the "Mullet", as he ventures into unknown waters...... 8)

I suspected salt was at least part of the white in that trough.
Cow feed of the sort you are describing is called silage. It used to be that the stuff was put into a silo and allow to ferment.
After it was fermitted it would "keep" for quite some time. There is no silage made around the house any more.
From what I understand those that do make it now ferment and store it in large, lined and covered pits in the ground.
Most silage is feed for milk cows. It make them give more milk. ::)
Love the pix. Keep them comming.
