Day Twenty Nine - Porcupine Quills

Dear all,

Mac makes the headlines again.. this time as a result of an altercation with a Porcupine. Resident Mr. Porky has now surfaced and is on the prowl with a vengeance equipped with a brand new armor of fresh barbs.

Mac decided to defend his tribe and attack the porcupine. Needless to say, the 35lb Porky won the battle within about 3 seconds and Mac ended up with a dozen hooked barbs in both his mouth and lower lip. It took 30 minutes of Chris holding him in the seasoned 'Mac-Grip' and me using pliers to 'carefully' yank the barbs from his mouth. Before and after shots of the barbed-one attached:

And in other news:

1. Today I used a blow torch. This was doubly exciting as I used it to help weld a pipe. I also got very burnt today: From the very hot sun...not the blow torch.
