Last couple of days

[rip]

Well the weather is starting to get much better.Yesterday was around 60 but today it was back in the 30's and we even had a dusting of snow last night.
I got up yesterday and it was raining so I whent and did my laundry,while I was doing that the sun came out so I finished the laundry and loaded up the detectors and headed out.I got to the old school and started detectin when it started to rain again.Gave up whent home sat down and the sun came out again ! SO loaded up and headed out to the fairgrounds started detectin and it started raining again ! Whent home sat down and the sun came out ! Gave up and stayed in that time.
Today the sun was shinnin and it was lookin good so I loaded up the detectors and headed out to the old school.I got there and the wind was wippin and it was about 25 degrees not counting the wind chill.I stuck it out for about an hour or so before giving up.I left there and just walked in the door and the phone rings.It's my buddy Steve and he says "Quick grab your gun and get up here,there's a rabid pousum in my yard !!! " I told him that it was quite unlikely to be rabid and that if it was botherin him to just pick it up by it's tail and put it in a sack or something and I would take it somewere and drop it off.Well Steve is over 6 foot and 200 and something pounds and scared of a little ole pousum ! What a woos ! So I headed on up to see if I could catch the critter but he had crawled up under the house.I had him hand me a flashlight and then stuck my hand in the hole.I then acted as if the pousum had ahold of me and I swear I think Steve soiled his pants. Oh and I found a bunch of clad and had fun and got the heak out of the house for awile !

First of all, let me say the new avatar is EXCELLENT!
Secondly, what's with all the dodging of raindrops? I thought you had a CZ20.
Thirdly, the gag about the possum getting a deathgrip on you is AWESOME!!

Cheers Mate,

Thanks bud ! I was usein the minlab as both sites are very trashy and i like to avoid clad pennys,plus with the wind it was still abit chilly out there.
I thought of it to late,but I noticed some old insulation that kinda looked like a pousum under the house If I had been thinkin I would have yanked it out the hole and threw it at my buddy for added effect !

It's the sort of nasty trick I would have played.
Wait a minute, I played that trick already with a mop head as a fake rat!
