how about hair ball removal? I could put you on speed dial as often as we get em lol

 

I could totally do that, I don't mind doing it at all and am quite good at it! You're right, this would not be a tough thing to pick up some clients for! Thanks K

 

It's AC. I don't think there is a first. Just one per circuit, anywhere on the circuit.

 

Blech. No thanks. Gross!! No poop, barf, pee, or hairballs.

 

Cheers TW!! Happy Friday!!!!

Just got back from the park - nice when all 3 of us can go together.

Time for spinach and cheese ravioli with sockeye salmon and alfredo sauce, sourdough bread & butter, salad, and wine.

To tide us over while the salmon is grilling, lemon drop for me, and brewski for Eric.

First night of Eric's 9 days off, woohoo!! PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: When he finds out I never made cookies today, I'm gonna blame you guys. I only got one suggestion, and that was for margarita cookies!!

 

Its too hot to run the oven.

When it cools of make some chocolate chip crumbles

 

yes the first outlet power comes to needs to be ground fault, after that the next 4 or 5 outlets are powered off of that outlet and can be regular style because the first ground faulted outlet shuts that row of outlets off if there is a short.

its SOP they don't put ground fault outlets on every one, that would cost a lot more needlessly

 

Argh!! Awake at 3am. Freaking raccoons!! Two of them just sauntered through our backyard, which of course woke Dolly up. So she goes berserk, which wakes us. She and Eric fell back to sleep within seconds, and I am wide awake, cursing raccoons and trying to find a decent movie to watch. I really, really hate raccoons.

We've experienced some version of this fun raccoon fiasco at least a billion times in the last 10 years of living here. They use our yard as a travel path to neighboring yards that have fruit trees, berry bushes, etc. They are such gross creatures, and carry nasty diseases, so I hate seeing them in our yard. Which is why we cut down our massive spread of beautiful, shade providing grape vines that we grew on our arbor - I read that grapes were their favorite food, so down they came. They also took up residence inside a giant hollow in this MASSIVE willow tree we had. Came home from vacation, and heard something INSIDE the tree. Eric looked in the hollow, and there they were. 48 hours and $3,000 later, that tree was taken down to a stump. Nosirree, not gonna be living in my yard

Can someone please exterminate those little bastards???????? It's illegal to shoot them in city limits. Pretty sure we've heard a guy down the street doing it sometimes anyway - we always silently cheer him on Then you've got the complete idiot people down the other direction that feed them at their back door and talk about how adorable they are Yeah, rabies and roundworm and distemper are just adorable I saw a documentary about them a couple years ago, and it was absolutely disturbing how overpopulated they've become in cities. Makes sense though - they have no natural predators in cities. Not like we're gonna have a pet cougar or coyote back there

 

A pet Cougar would be nice

Raccoon stew is not bad either I find it better the ground hog

Done on the grill with the right sauce they are tasty!!!

 

two words ..... sauce piquante

but just trap them then go drop them off somewhere far away http://www.ebay.com/itm/Raccoon-Sku...it-Cat-Live-/151367222924?hash=item233e30868c

 

Even trap & release of them is illegal here. Why? Their logic is that there are already too many of them everywhere, so don't take the problem ones in your own neighborhood and dump them elsewhere. But then what the hell are people supposed to do???????????? Somehow their populations need to be brought down, especially around cities. It's ridiculous. They are everywhere. We'd get in big trouble if we got pulled over with one of those things (dead or alive) in a trap in the bed of the Taco.

It's really stupid, because they basically have so many laws in place to protect those little bastards that people are left totally defenseless against them. I know Dolly would seriously hurt or even kill them if we let her go at them, but I don't want her to get bit or scratched in the process and get some nasty disease/parasite from them. It's like torture for her, watching them run around out there while being restrained from doing her natural doggie instinct thing - rip 'em apart. Torture for me too!!

Anyone else have problems with raccoons?

 

trust me, if dolley got into it with one, she would be going to the vet hospital to be stitched back up.

they have no fear and wont run away because those bastards have razor sharp claws and are very scrappy, they even kill dogs trained to hunt them.

DO NOT let dolley any where near one, for her sake, not even talking about diseases, just talking about being ripped open by those claws and sharp teeth.

 

Exactly, we never would. Ever. She is our baby and those things are fucking evil and disgusting and dangerous. HELP us figure this out, please!!

 

time for some late night hunting

sniper them with this http://www.basspro.com/Gamo-Raptor-SAT-177-Caliber-Air-Rifle-with-Scope/product/1503231334/

pellets cant be traced and you can shoot from within you house unseen, then just run out and scoop it up before anyone sees it and dig a deep hole in back yard or eat it to get rid of the evidence, taste like chicken

City people never learn how to enjoy food

I bet you never even had Rocky Mountain Oysters

Fresh warm Elk Heart

 

I'm not a city person!! At least I don't see myself that way.

Spent a ton of time at my grandparent's place as a kid - 100 acres of woods. Watched my grandpa skin a squirrel he'd shot when I was like 7 years old -

 

bet she would freak if I served her opossum or nutria rat stew lol, she would love it before I told her what she was eating, then

I never ate armadillo but I heard it wasn't bad eating either
