I walk out the back door and a squirrel jumps out of the garbage can with a fortune cookie in his mouth and runs up a tree and sits on a limb in plain sight. 99% of the time I keep my camera in the van which is 3 steps away, but I remember the camera is in the house. I walk in retireve my camera and I know, I just know I'm going to lose this shot.
Sure enough, I go back outside and look up the tree, I can hear him but not see him. I'm standing... looking ..and looking... then.. the wrapper comes floating down. Oh well.

Another time this same fat ass squirrel snagged a hard roll out of the garbage, carried it to a tree on the other side of the house and left it balanced on a limb about 20 feet up in the air. I guess he went back to the garbage can looking for jelly or something.
last but not least...My 3 yo grandson was over yesterday evening, I tried to get him to ride with me on my riding mower, he started crying and scared when he heard the noise. Well, fuck him, I got a gravel driveway and put the blade down and did doughnuts and raised so much dust you couldn't see me, the house or nothing.
I kid you not, the fire chief was driving on the main road saw the "smoke" and came down the driveway..thought he had a situtation. I said "You're going to get your nice new truck dirty.
I have to admit, very dry, no wind and it was a major cloud of dust. My daughter said, "You better hope your grandson doesn't have nightmares or I'm calling you at 4 in the morning." lmao..
