mysteries - 1 solved, 1 ongoing

the mystery of how to condition a rawhide mallet so it doesn't mark your silver? solved! soak the face in water overnight and file with a metal file; twice (that is - soak overnight and file on two separate days). it's nice and soft and non-marking now.


the mystery of why kitties that don't belong to me like to stay for days under my deck? ongoing. look at this tiny one! i have the stair in there for scale....she's a tiny kitten...here 2 days, then gone...
