Pumpkin carving essentials

Safety Goggles

Meat tenderizer

Dremmel tool.   Notice the quantity of pumpkin goo on my shirt and hands.  It was also in my hair, on my glasses and on the wall.

But it was fun.

Not a good choice

Do not and I repeat do not, go to your department outing have a beer, a couple of diet cokes and some cheese curds and then think you can go home and run 4.5 miles.

I was not anywhere near intoxicated by the beer, but the combination of the three really made miles 2-4 stink.  I didn't really run the last .5 and contemplated calling EB to come and get me. Thank goodness there was no one near me to hear me.  You know, whining and stuff.

And because I am a glutton for punishment, I decided I would add a little fiber into my evening diet by dining on pumpkin seeds.

Tune in tomorrow to see the list of the most important tools for pumpkin carving.
