D-D-Dangggg!... He called you Rattie!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Went out this morning in a 50 mph wind. Temp had dropped to a -1 and a -20 degree wind chill. Pulled up on the first stop, had a double on coyotes, digital camara wouldn't work after one photo...go get the video camara, dang battery is dead, as I left it on by mistake. Well, I have a film camara, even though there's only a few exposures left.

Second stop, another double, so I get out my catch pole, as one of them is alive and foot snared so I try to tighten up the loop and around his neck, so I can cut the cable and dispatch it over by the truck...It starts jerking widely and pulls the catch pole out of my hand, right at the edge of the tailgate...I grab a disposible stake driver and swing, hitting the pole, which is made of PVC...and because of the temp being zero, shatters when I mistakingly hit the end!
Out pops the coyote and I swing again..this time connecting but only enough to stun it...just enough time to pull out the .22 revolver before it bites a piece outa me!

I'm too old for this crap!

Ended up getting 7 coyotes, all which were frozen like a ROCK by the time I got home! Always tomorrow!

Fast Draw practice?

Can I come trapping with you LT? I don't want to set any traps. Heck, I don't even want to get out of the truck! I'll bring the popcorn. Figure it would be the most entertaining day of running a line ever.

Ditto on this. LT if you ever need to make money, just auction off "A Day in the Life of LT GREY!" Bring your own popcorn and drinks!

Lt,sounds like a good project too raise funds for charity?
Most would like a chance to film your day?

Yeah I need a good camraman...only now I need a good camara. I think my charger is gone bad. Right in the middle of my snaring vid! just went to the carwash to wash the blood of of the bed of my truck...slid right through the bin, out the other side and off the asphalt...We are currently having an ice storm! So cold the other day, that the Miami River frozen 2"... overnight!

You supplying the perks?
bob

Yep!

When do you want me to report for duty?
Must warn you I do drink! Loads of coffee!

I need someone just to go door to door and tell people to keep up their pets...UNBELIEVABLE the amount of domestic pets that are running loose!

With 60 mph winds I got up on a ladder to check out a hole in a corner of a roofline....Now why didn't I know better. The ladder, although only an 8 ft step, sank in on one side because of all the rain and started sliding...I grabbed the gutter for support. The ladder twisted and fell over..leaving me dangling from the gutter. The customer saw me from the window and ran to my aid...but not before I had pulled the gutter loose and fell to the ground..which was good and soft from all the rain.
I repair the gutter when I go back tomorrow!

Last day of beaver season, I go out to pull my line and notice my front tire a bit low.
Stop by the first gas station to put some air in it...
.75
What?!
Ok, take care of the problem and go to the first stop...one muskrat. Oh well.
Second stop..I hate Canada geese!
Get in and notice the truck seems tilted sideways...
It is!
Tire's flat as a pancake!
Get out... go the back...tire is all the way in the front of the truck bed...along with the jack.
Get everything out...
Now what?!
Jack won't work...
%$$%&*%^&&))&*(^&^%%#@#$#!@$&**(^)&(!!!!
OK..NOW WHAT?
Maybe I can drive it up the hill and raise the front end so that I can...
You know that seemed like it might work...NOT!
Tore the beauty ring off in the process.
OK, who can I call?
Out here...uhhh??????
Looks like a long walk out...
I hate my life!

I pull up to a job early, when I realised I don't have my 6 ft. step ladder.
Where is it?

20 miles away at my last job...

I jump in my truck and tear down the highway...

Just a 100 yards from the place where my ladder is, the truck quits...
"What the...?"

OUT OF GAS!

Oh no! I'd forgotten to check the gas guage...Crap!

I roll down the hill to a stop and try to get it started...

Once, twice...It starts and I drive up to the house.
The ladder's still there but I'm out of gas.

I spy a tool shed out back...wonder if there's a gas can in there?
Their gas had just been cut!

Turns out, there was, just enough to get my back into town to a gas station.

Filled it up, after I called the lady and left a message that, "Sorry, but I needed to borrow some gas."

She later called back and laughted about it..."Just glad I could help", she said.

LT GREY-
Please 'splain to me- how can one man get into as many predicaments as you do???? It seems that you must live in a constant crisis! My biggest crisis, each day, seems to be "will I get to that light before it changes to yellow". Oh yes, I have had to do the tool retrieve too. I'm not sure that I need your level of calamity though!

"Just when things were going good..."

............I run over a Motorcycle.......

Hope there wasn't a rider on it...

iam sure a Double CheeseBurger an a Coke with a foot snare tied to a bent over tree would work but to scar might get bit takeing him out........hmmmm what about a Cave as a live trap put a 42 inch bigscreen in it with couch and snacks with his Fav Football game on LOL

LA, You know, I was fine until I went to stay with Vinke...

Ahhahahahahahaha...

( when you lose the best thing that ever happened to you...it's hard to stay focused!)
