Bruce's Journal

Your daughter could join the military as an officer with a degree. Write fantasy in her off time hours.

NOT to be confused with office hours...

There is at least one left down by our storm drain. I just looked at the havahart site and they listed a few things that I'll try.

Oh, you meant what kind of trap? I think it is this one.

Definitely a 1 door trap, have caught coons in it as well.

Your daughter could join the military as an officer with a degree. Travel the world, have room & board & medical provided. Write fantasy in her off time hours. AND get a paycheck.

Either daughter in the military

I have a havahart trap and have caught raccoons, possums, cats, chickens in it. Its great. Much better than this one that I got off a woman from CL. She had bought it to catch her cat that got out. It was used once. Nice trap but doesnt work as well as my havahart.

Bruce are you home yet ?

 

[Bruce]

Nope. Red-eye tomorrow night. Will be interesting, JFK should be clear but 7ish inches of snow at home tomorrow and Wednesday. Hope we don't get stuck in JFK though there are worse airports to be stuck in. DD1 got stuck overnight in Newark last summer. Had nothing good to say about it.

That would be not be good...got stuck overnight in Charlotte, sat in chair all night....most people slept on carpeted floor...too gross for me ...have a safe flight and may the magic snow fairies have all your snow neatly plowed out of your way...and your driveway cleared, woodstove full and a meal when you walk in the door !

It WOULD have to be the magic fairies! The only one that knows how to run the garden tractor with snowblower is me. Not because I am greedy and keep that fun task to myself but no one else is interested. DW leaves for work about 6:45, earlier if there is snow on the road so she wouldn't have time to do it in the morning anyway. I did ask if she wanted to learn before I left but I guess not. I suspect she will park close to the road so less shoveling to get the car on it. As you can see the house is pretty close to the road so it isn't like we have a 300' driveway to clear.



We are supposed to land around 10 AM so even if we are delayed we should be stuck all night. Don't know that the woodstove has been running since we left, might have been until Thursday when DD1 came here but DW isn't home to feed it during the day and wouldn't necessarily mess with starting a fire. But we have oil hot air as well and I suspect that has been running.

Nothing says welcome home like a yard full of snow and a cold wood heater.

 

[Bruce]

Yep! And I don't sleep for cow manure on planes so I'll be dead tired, my head will be soggy and I'll need to blow snow for a couple of hours.

Hopefully DD1 will be able to pick us up at the airport because I do NOT want to think what it would cost to take a cab 25 miles. Probably cheaper to rent a car from Enterprise and drop it up in St. Albans 5 miles from home.

Have a safe and smooth flight Bruce!

They can always shovel.
