Evening all! I have not read much in days it seems.... but we are DONE with fishing class!

Sean caught a lovely little rainbow trout today, and we are dessicating it so he can varnish it and keep it... (ewww!).

I am BEAT, and leaving to drive to Seattle on Saturday! Am I NUTS or something?

So how is everyone out there in Parrothead pirates land?

hey heidi

I haven't read hardly anything in days. I'm not even gonna try to catch up :rotfl:

Varnishing the fish? IS that how you preserve it for mounting?

Actually what we are doing is kind of like how mummies were preserved... it is currently hanging out in a large bag of rock salt! We will change out the salt every few days as it dehydrates, and then once it is REALLY done (6-8 weeks!) then we can varnish it. LOL... it wont look all pretty like those fish you see that come from a taxidermist, but it also wont cost us $10 per INCH either!

Kaj mummified a cornish game hen a year or two ago when we were studying ancient Egypt, so we figured we could use the same technique with the fish. LOL!

Sounds like a great project. My cousin won a fishing tournament some years back. Part of his prize was having his catch mounted. I think it was a trout or a bass or somesuch. I always like to see it. Looks like its jumping trying to eat a little guppie in front of it.
 
Well my parrot head friends, good night sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite!!!!!!


Sweet dreams!!!!:goodvibes

Yeah, pretty much! Seattle should be fun though, mostly... gonna hit my favorite store (IKEA) and one of our favorite eateries in Seattle, Rainforest Cafe! Introducing Sean's best buddy to some of our favorite places and just have some FUN for a few days.
