I like this time at night on HBT

Dang I lost the internet and the hunt heated up. DID YOU GET HIM

NO!!! But at least he didn't push the trap out of his way this time. *SIGH* Couldn't risk the shot because so many hoping I can catch him unharmed. Plus, was worried about a ricochet.

Have you consider napalm?

Crap. Well either he will try and get out another way or thirst and hunger will force him out at some point.

Some one dropped a pet rooster off by my house once. Noisy bird he was. It took a week to finally get him in a spot that I could shoot him.

Meat was terrible as well but what do you expect from fowl meat...pun intended

 

[BobbiLynn]

Have you consider napalm?

No yet, but I did consider the can of mace I picked up at the most recent gun show. Did I ever tell you about the 2 gators we caught and relocated? They ended up in the lake after a big flood. We suspect, before the relocation, that they ate one gray cat named Jack. Now Jill is all alone.

 

[Varmintman]

Bobbi I think we are dealing with a critter with above average abilities and intelligence. This is going to mean that you pull out all the stops and flat out declare war on the bugger. Yes that is right I am going to research what the little buggers eat and then we can ATTACK

 

[BobbiLynn]

I read that they like apples, dogfood and peppermint candy.... I don't have any peppermint candy.

Also, I can't see out of my left eye today, did I take that shot?

Well if I take shots of booze I often end up not being able to see

After much thinking I am in the belief that we are dealing with a college educated possum. Now there are only two things that will get a frat boy out and that is "cough..ahem" the ladies and beer. Since you do not want more little possums running around I would not suggest a lady possum. And as much as I hate to waste beer I just wonder if a cup of beer will entice him out.

 

[SharonaZamboni]

Maybe he'd like an egg?

 

[BobbiLynn]

I also have some bacon that's been in the fridge for a while. Hard boiled you think?

scrambled of course.

 

[SharonaZamboni]

Raw egg, in the shell.

 

[Varmintman]

Raw egg, in the shell.

I think this might work. Throw a slice of the bacon out there as well

 

[BobbiLynn]

Raw egg, in the shell.

Because he will be mesmerized and intrigued by the ovalness of it?

 

[Reelale]

Me thinks you are enjoying this pursuit as much, or more than the possum. To bastardize one part of the treatise of a great philosopher; "One doesn't trap in order to kill, on the contrary, one kills to have trapped".

 

[Airplanedoc]

Have you consider napalm?

Bobbilynn: Smell that? You smell that?
Husband: What?
Bobbilnn: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Bobbilynn: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a opossum under the porch, for 12 days. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' opossum body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole porch. Smelled like
[sniffing, pondering]
victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Great flick to watch after several RIS (or other big beer of choice!)

Agreed

Talked to my daughter in college today.... "Mom, please, no one is trying to kill you!"

"Not a person!!!" I said, "Her pet monkey!!!"

She has never met Aunt Louise or her pet monkey.

"Just please come home for spring break", I said, "and try to bring your brother."

"Okay, mom, bye, my friends are waiting for me".

What do I have to do to get them to come home?!?!?!?!?

Quit sending spending money, make them come get it.

Ahhh, yes, it's almost the 1st of the month again and she's expecting gas money to magically appear on her card..... I have realized the error of my ways.

 

[Airplanedoc]

I'm kind of disappointed there is no opossum in the trap. What is the plan for tonight's adventure?

 

[BobbiLynn]

Yeah, who isn't? Hubby says don't mess with it yet, let the guy get used to seeing it there. To add additional bait would mean unwedging it and re-setting the trap, possibly almost lose another finger. Though I could at least pour some bacon bits through the top without disturbing anything else. He never did pick up the cat food for me.

Anything else going on tonight?

Update from Billy Jim Bob's last PM to me

Tell my nemesis this: I see what you are trying to do BobbiLynn. You are a great challenge but I will survive

 

[BobbiLynn]

Okay, I am going to be nice to Billy Jim Bob. Feed him some nice bacon. Here, have some fresh water too. Catch more flies with honey right? Hmmm... maybe he would like my honey amber ale?

So a couple days ago I talked to ghost. Told hubby about it finally today. Who is Rob or Robert? Did there used to be a big green pasture behind the barn? Yes, both he said. It was the guy who owned this property before us. Name was Robert. He died here. "Oh okay, that must be the guy I talked to then."

Hubby: "What did he say?"

Me: "Told me to go for a walk in the big green pasture behind the barn". There is no pasture there now, but hubby says he knows where the pasture used to be. Said he'll show me the place tomorrow.

Hmmm.... I wonder what will happen tomorrow. Maybe he will take my hand and show me how to live off the land. The guy Robert that I talked to.

You know when I was a kid I dreamed of being a mountain man. I was born in the wrong century I fear

Yeah, I feel like I am out of place, don't quite belong here. But what you gonna do about it? Want to go back in time with me, if we can manage to build that time machine we keep talking about?

 

[bottlebomber]

I kind of get the feeling that we're all a little odd here. The outlier points. We get eliminated from graphs and charts and stuff, so as not to corrupt the data.

I know how you feel. I gravitate to old things. My suitcase is from the 1800's for petes sake

I enjoy modern things like cars and indoor plumbing but I feel that I would be happier if I was born a century ago. I do get my fix of the old west every summer when I go camping

My last post was cut short. Somehow it got posted before I wanted it to. So here goes again.

I know I'm in the minority here but I'm glad BobbiLynn hasn't caught Billy Jim Bob. He PM'd me again today Bobbi. I'll just quote him

Woman who live's in my home and my nemesis. You will not catch me! Let's just agree to disagree with each other. I have done nothing to hurt you and you just try to kill me. If you want to continue this game let it be assured you will loose.

Okay, now that I've done my public service message I want to talk a little about Home Brew Town. Most of you are probably familiar with Passedpawn's Neil Rockwell iconic town. Probably not many of you know it actually exists!

I'll post a couple pics just so you know I'm not blowing smoke up your backside.

Christmas time. Yooper's pub is next to the chapel.

Me at my coffee shop on the corner of Main and 1st street. I'm the guy in white.

As I get older, this might seem backwards. I'm thinking I'd like to start a commune, hippy commune if you'd like. I'd like to start this place on the outskirts of HomeBrewTown so will need to check with Passedpawn and the city council. If they give me permission (I know, that doesn't sound very hippy-ish.) If they do here is my quick plan.

Baths will be taken at least once a day. Ideally, they will be communal which could be a lot of fun.
There will be a strict physical fitness program each day. It will include but not limited to dancing, laughing and working our crops in the field.
I'm going to invite a few organic growers to this place to teach us all how to. We will eat the food we make. Not going to be buying much from the store if possible but that isn't a law. Let's see, we can grow our own veggies, make our own bread, brew our own beer, make our own cheese and sausages. I'd like to do this all organically and with all the spent grain we'll have from making beer there will be plenty of nutritious compost available.

It's just an idea but, hmm.. maybe.
