Had a skunk walk across my feet once. Was afraid to move.
When I was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper (i.e., very young), my grandma had a skunk that lived in her house, so I put it on my lap and petted it like a cat. It was several years later that she told me it had never been fixed. Whew, was I lucky or what?

Good thing you weren't one of those kids that chases cats and dogs and grabs em by their tails.

I've known a few folks who have had skunks for pets, seem to be about as sharp as a cat.

I had a racoon for over ten years when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.....one of the best pets I ever had.

Used to have a friend who had six 'coons come up on his deck every evening looking for the cat food. I sat out there one evening and they came up all around me. Just out of curiosity, I started talking to them and one sat in front of me and tilted his head as if he was truly trying to understand what I was saying. I have watched them (not just that bunch) over many years and figure they are quite intelligent, not just in what they do, but how they go about doing it. They use their hands almost like humans. Amazing little people.

Indeed, if they want into something, they'll figure it out.....:)

I was in the business of closing landfills. After the landfill was capped off, we dug methane wells over the entire property, Waste Management would install six monstrous Cat Generators, sell the power back to service providers.

We should get one of those generators. I figure with just the farts our Doberman puts out, we ought to be able to power a small city.
(OK, so it ain't really methane; it's hydrogen sulfide, a real live poison)

It will run a caterpillar generator just fine....for your needs, I assume it would be the cats ass....:vino:

That's what I am theorizing - I want to participate in the system as little as possible but still live with ease and grace

@inspects Lannie tells me I got yesterday's high temperature wrong; it was not 62 (I must have remembered the thermometer in the chicken coop). but only 58. Obviously we have a Canadian arctic air mass because that is at least 30 degrees below "normal." In winter, that turns +10 into -20.

OK, so where is everyone hiding tonight?

Yeah had a nap. Then got wound up dealing with verizon apparently someone got 2 iphones on our wireless account.

I think the contract Verizon store is going to have to eat that though. Wrong name and no password...

How could the phone store people be so stupid as to give phones to a Texican when the account is owned by someone from Kentucky?

Most of the Verizon stores are contract stores and work off of sales commission and you know how salespersons are.
Get that sale!

Oh, yeah... Well, guess that salesperson will not only not get his commission, but most likely will have to pay for the lost merchandise for being such a dumb fuck. Sigh...

Yeah last Thursday.
Been mowing with it.
New mower same as the old mower just not half melted down.
Had to balance the blades first thing.
Air the tires properly, etc.
Unbalanced blades? A lot of deck vibration?
Tires... every riding mower I have always has bad tires. They lose air just sitting in the shop. I can never find any sort of punctures. I wonder if I should go get innnertubes all around. Can't imagine why a mower company would put two-ply tubeless tires on these things.

The rain we had the other day made today the most humid day I can remember in a long time, damn was it hot today. Today also brought back nightmares of living in Florida humidity many moons ago.....- that was just unbearable, which is why I headed to the desert. Thank god it only rains a half dozen times a year.

Yep it HAD a lot of deck vibration. Balancing the blades fixed that.
And the air thing was too much air.
For mower tires and such if they leak I just slime em.
will change the oil to synthetic after about 50 hours or so of use.

I remember more rain than you talk about when I lived in Tucson. The trailer park I lived in was next to a deep dry wash, and every time we had nasty thunderstorms, there was about 30 feet of water raging down that thing. Within a week (sometimes only a couple days), it was dry again.
