Visting M37 owners in far away lands

Post by mike_l »

While visiting family in Virginia this month, I had an opportunity to stop in and visit Bruce, AKA M37Bruce. It isn't too often I have a chance to meet folks off the forums. My wife usually discourages me from meeting people from the internet; something about axe murderers or perverts or something. This time she admits she was wrong which in itself is a rare event on the magnitude of the passing of Halley's comet.

We had a good time visiting Bruce and I learned a few new techniques. I always enjoy exchanging ideas with others on their projects and I got a lot of ideas and information from Bruce.

Thanks for your hospitality. Glad to hear you have been able to get the truck running.

Possum, you say?

Yum! Great in a meat pie.

My Grandparents used to serve it all the time. With sixteen kids if it was meat they ate it.

Never had Wallaby or Kangaroo but I would give it a try. Is Wallaby or Kangaroo caned for export?

Sixteen Kids?? - obviously this was before television's existance and there must have been a lot of cold nights :lol:
I don't think it is exported but I could be wrong, Australia has been selling out everything and damned near it's existance of late...

The first thing I thought about when I read MM's post was: I wonder if Wallaby and Kangaroo taste like chicken? :lol:

It was in the late teens and early twenty's Long before TV. Almost all boys with the last one being a girl, my Mother. Lots of sets of twins.

PS I do not think that Wallaby and Kangaroo taste like chicken, but Monkey Man would know better.

We used to get Roo meat in North Carolina, @ the beach, South of Nags Head, very tasty and more like beef than chicken. It was at the Avon Pier. The last time we were there, it wasn't available! :~(

Just my luck. I live in NC and there is a Roo meat shortage in North Carolina. I will have to stop in at the Zoo and see if they have a extra one.

Thanks Paddy.
