An Austin J1-N. Very rare...

....And so as the little andrex puppy of time scampers onto the busy
dual-carriage way of destiny, and the extra-strong meat vindaloo of fate
confronts the toilet Out Of Order sign of eternity... I see it is time to
end this post.

We parked a motor home on a ranch in Texas where we used to hunt deer. The
cattle licked the paint off as high as they could reach. They don't do that
everywhere, I speculate that they do it in areas where they are deficient in
some trace minerals.

In a previous article, "Icebound" said:
I am not that familiar with a J1-N, but the picture looks like there is
fabric and wood involved. The salt may have been a factor, but the fabric
and wood was probably what they were really after.


Parks in Ontario are full of outhouses that have been eaten down to
damn-near nothing by porcupines who love the salty taste of the glue they
use in plywood.

A long time ago, when I was but a lad on a farm.... our cows would
inexplicably get into a mood to gnaw on our firewood pile. It was rare, but
when they got in that mood, it was usually more than just a few of them.

Apparently bovine digestion can break down cellulose, whereas the rest of
us cannot.

I saw an article on weird claims once. Some that I remember --

Two hunters shot a wild goat in Mexico, threw it in the back of the plane, and took
off for home. The "dead" goat woke up rather upset and began butting the back of the
seats. By the time they got down, the pilot had a concussion, the passenger had a
broken arm, and the instrument panel was a total loss. I don't remember what happened
to the goat.

An aircraft owner discovered his polished aluminum Cessna had gotten pretty crunched
up. Analysis of hair found on the wreck proved to be from a Bison. As near as anyone
can figure, a passing buffalo saw his reflection in the side of the aircraft and
attacked it.

Another aircraft owner discovered his aircraft some distance from its open hangar and
pretty crunched up. Analysis of hair from the spinner proved to be from his bull. As
near as anyone can figure, the bull used the nose spinner as a scratching post. This
got the aircraft started rocking up and down on the gear and shifted it. When the
bull became sated and walked away, the aircraft started rolling down the slight
incline in front of the hangar. It probably had picked up a bit of speed when the
spinner caught the bull in the rump.

Hey... Many years ago a friend of mine killed a cow when his RC
airplane flew out of range, over a hill on a farmers field, and hit
the cow square on the head.

They went to the farmers house to tell him the bad news and it took
a few moments for the farmer to realize it wasn't a real plane that
had crashed into his cow but a model weighing about six pounds.

Anyone remember the FLYING magazine article from many many years
ago about the group that were dropping live cats out of airplanes at
local flyins.

Well, Duh - THEY EAT GRASS! As do sheep, deer, elk, horses, in fact all
ruminants.
