Scorecard:

Jaws I in the garage next to door into the house: 4 kills, closing in on being an ace.
Jaws II in the basement hallway: 1, kills in the house itself aren't common.

KC's cat suggestion won't be of much use unless I locked a cat in the garage. They are probably still the end consumer with me being the middleman and the Jaws brothers being the hunter killers. The three mice I placed outside in the garden path were all gone this morning. Not sure if it's the free range cats or native wildlife (owl, blue jay, fox) but something is eating them.

I'm really hoping we don't get home on Friday to the odor of decomposing vermin somewhere in the house. One of the top things on my to-do-when-we're-back list is to put out our traps.

Great weekend! Also for our MSP friends @BoxsterCy @VeloClone @jcyclonee et al. The ISUCFVMB will have two performances in the cities this coming weekend. I don't know the details but they mentioned one of them being at US Bank if you want your ISU fix.

Red Cross keeps sending me stuff about donating blood. I figure now isn't the best time to donate.

Long day, well normal I guess, but I'm not as worn out as doing trees, and I'm learning something too.

Flag what the hell the 2028 Olympics are going to have flag FB as a Olympic sport. SMH.

Like Chaser I also learned something new today, it is a bugger to get the carburetor out of a Polaris 500. Carb goes to the repair guy tomorrow a.m. and hopefully I can put it back in tomorrow afternoon.

Isn’t there a cancer question? You may want to check if that disqualifies you now.

First official L as a father. I was supposed to watch the little man (i.e. "keep him safe") while my wife ran to the basement. While on my watch he was making me nervous playing with a nightstand drawer (nearly smacked himself in the face/eye) so I set him on the bed.

He proceeded to scurry across the bed and fall to the floor in the time it took me to reach into the closet and grab a shirt for work... uggghhhhh

At least he seemed okay beyond being a bit shaken from his first experience with gravity.

Yeah, that one just seems really silly to me. I get why it isn't tackle football. But why is a sport that pretty much only we play being a part of the Olympics?

I imagine it's still better than solo synchronized swimming

The first fall induces the most guilt. You'll do just fine, dad.
Unless you Forget to pick him up from school.
Twice.

One of the best things I was told was something like this.

Kids are designed to fall. They'll be OK. Just don't dribble them like a basketball.

My kid went right out the back of a restaurant chair. He was up, out, and down before I could get there.

Hit hard on the concrete. Scared from the fall, but eating nuggets within 5 minutes.

Before I was three I had 40 stitches in my face and head. Attacked by a dog. Fell off a goddam table. Fell down the stairs. In today's world the parents would get a knock on the door from protective services.

So my boy is well ahead of where I started

The commercials for Re-Bath make it sound like they're in and out in no time. They're on day 7 at my neighbor

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Sore as ****. Not used to an hour lunch, I'm used to not having one at all.

What's the new job again?

 

[ImJustKCClone]

My boys miss me.
Or they miss food.

Yeah, it's probably food.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Building houses.

That's exactly what I did.

3 inches of rain starting Thursday. A little much.
