remaining strips go right over the stored bulkheads and the devils
entrance!) and to dump some of that cayanne powder down the hole. I
can't tell if this is an entry or exit hole but the minute it gets

Actually, pepper in his exit hole would have the greater effect.
I did warn Peter to check out what was under his boat a couple of
months ago....he never listens!!!

I'll be there with "Twisted Seagull" around 10 am. Is there anything
you need from Anglophone Land, good beer, decent poutine, etc. .....?
The paint won't actually be tacky, just the name! Last coat went on
tonight. Just have to install the oar sockets and deck plates
tomorrow. She's having her official launch Friday at 6pm at Peter
Music Boats, Elliot Ave., Kingston. If anyone is in the neighborhood,
come on by.
We'll be smashing a bottle of cheap champers and quaffing even
cheaper plonk after she gets her bottom wet.

Hi Bruce,
Well now,that sounds like a plan and it certainly puts to rest
any cowboy stunts I may have been scheming with a six-
shooter.Besides,they aren't all that good to eat( if Peter V's
observations are correct) however it that is true,then shithawks....
ooops...I mean seagulls must be the fillet mingon of birds and we
have lots of those fluttering around!
The gang will all be at the boat rather earlier then
planned,that is around 10:00, but since you will be arriving with a
freshly painted boat,then you are excused and may roll in latter to
at least quench your road thirst with some cold brews.
Relatively little current in this part of the St.Lawrence
Seaway unless you come too close to the over-flow intake beside the
lock chambers.At that point you may began to regret not taking up
golf or bowling.........
Still too early to make a definite call on Pesky's attendance
but I'm workin' on her and the warm summery weather is taking its
toll on her steely office habits.Since I spoke with her earlier on
the phone about my encounter with the groundhog from hell,she thought
it was soooo "cute" and hoped that I did not hurt it(!).......so
perhaps now she will really want to come just to get a glimpse of the
beast and prevent any"accidental" death from happening. She can be
such a nut sometimes with every four legged creature being nothing
more then some" fuzzy wuzzy little cutie....oooo look at you
sweety....ooooo"..........it just about makes me sick :-) and it gets
worse when she starts talking to ME that way.....yikes!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan, still with a thobbing head......

Peter,
Try sprinkiling cayenne pepper around his entry hole, and in it. And
all around the area. Only 3.99 a bottle and no trip to the hooscow
for firing a firearm in city limits. If there's any left, we can
sprinkle it on our pizza on Saturday morning.
I know my raton lavarse (Racoons) that were infesting my shed didn'y
like it at all.

Bringing his preshly painted, and still tacky, (but then everything
I've built is pretty tacky) Welsford Seagull to the flipping party so
we can try it out in the canal after. Pesky can sit in the stern
sheets with a parasol and a cup of her favorite beverage (Dompers,
No?) while you row your guts out against the mighty St. Lawrence's
current.

....so what you guys are implying is that the flavor of an animal is the opposite of the flavor of the food he eats. That means that I should keep groundhogs out of my garden! It's brilliant! (Isn't it amazing how logic can lead you to these counterintuitive results?)
Perhaps if groundhogs were fed lobster instead.....
Peter,
Of course, I don't know if the droppings you found were from the
groundhog, or from a rabbit as you first thought. But I will pass on
the observation that rabbit droppings are first class fertilizer for
the garden.
