OK, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to head back to work this morning.
In my usual displaced professional beach-bum manner, I personally will be a day late arriving back in the 9 to 5 grind adjacent to the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River, but any way...
Let's take a look at the score card and tally up the successes of this year's Fourth of July holiday.
1. Gutters and Roofs on the house and two out buildings...
CLEAN
2. Increased Global Warming caused by frivolous discharge of weapons of varying caliber's and descriptions...
ACCOMPLISHED WITH GLEE!!
3. Turbo Pup worn out chasing rogue Coyotes and Captive Catfish...
CHECK
4. New 32" RCA LCD HD TV installed in Mom's Den...
ACCOMPLISHED (but not without having to return one TV that was dead on arrival here at the Rogers compound.)
And for those of you anti-gun and otherwise squeamish anti-hunting individuals out there that think people like me with guns are a scourge on society, be advised that not a single feather was ruffled, not a single deer or other warm blooded animal other than a couple of Armadillos was disturbed by my adventures over the past four days.
I did manage to scare the heck out of one Armadillo, probably dispatched another one to Armadillo Heaven, and I severely reduced the population of turtles hanging around our dock which decimate the fish egg and fingerling population every year.
Regarding the Coyote reference, Pat and Missy the Tubo Pup did actually have a pre-dawn encounter with a couple of large Coyotes within 50 feet of the house on Friday morning, and I'd have blasted both of them into oblivion given the chance because like the Armadillo they are recent immigrants to this part of Alabama and they're a scourge in the life of livestock farmers and homeowners everywhere.
Time to clean the guns now...bother me at your own risk...
