The opossum was back on my porch at 0400 stealing cat food and making a racket. I fired several .357 blanks at him from about 3 feet. I did not know an opossum could move that fast. Hope that discourages him.Also awake. The opossum is making a racket on the porch. I am going to have to load up some blanks to scare it off.
since emojis are limited it the post i had to do a replyRight now I am eating a tuna salad sandwich.
Now I am in trouble with The Cat Whisperer for shooting loud guns at 0400. But that's when the critter was there, I said. Then she gave me "That Look". I think I will clean the revolver and put it back in the vault.....The opossum was back on my porch at 0400 stealing cat food and making a racket.

True story here, right after I got married, we kept getting the hang up phone calls, you know, call, you and land nothing…….so I got pissed, went and got my S&W 629, loaded a empty case with magnum primer..…idiot called again later that night, I had my 629 handy, kindly answered it, silent, pulled the gun up to phone, fired off the round into the phone, fool never called back, always wondered how his ear was…..Now I am in trouble with The Cat Whisperer for shooting loud guns at 0400.

Those airhorns they use at sporting events would be great in this capacity as well.True story here, right after I got married, we kept getting the hang up phone calls, you know, call, you and land nothing…….so I got pissed, went and got my S&W 629, loaded a empty case with magnum primer..…idiot called again later that night, I had my 629 handy, kindly answered it, silent, pulled the gun up to phone, fired off the round into the phone, fool never called back, always wondered how his ear was…..![]()
When I was a young officer and we got harrassing phone call complaints we recommended people blow a whistle into the mouthpiece. For a while there we were even handing out police whistles. I always thought those would be useful dealing with nosy neighbors listening in on party lines back when we had party linesThose airhorns they use at sporting events would be great in this capacity as well.
Tequila always takes the edge off, doesn’t it?It was swamp cooler day. It's always something. Twice to the store for parts. I had to cut off the bolts for the motor, drill new holes and fasten down. I wasn't allowed on the roof until an issue with the new belt. Long story longer, we finished maybe a half hour ago. Supposed to be 87 degrees today and I believe them. Momma's getting showered and on to Happy Hour at 3. I took a tequila shot for medical purposes.I'd rather clean guns than mess with the cooler. Maybe next year we'll have a tech do it.
I remember party lines. Does that mean I’m old?When I was a young officer and we got harrassing phone call complaints we recommended people blow a whistle into the mouthpiece.
