You might want to throw a cat under there with that light bulb.
If where you are at is anything like where I am at you have critters that love to homestead in things under tarps.
It doesn't take long for one to get established so check often.
On a lighter note took my X out for a fun ride and put it into a fish tail.
This weekend is what we call war eagle weekend.
There is an annual big Craft fair at a place called what else but War Eagle, and people come from hundreds of miles around to go to it.
Normally we stay at home during War Eagle but my wife read on her face book page about a pie shop having a grand opening.
The picture showed a sizable kitchen with lots of pies so we decided we would brave the traffic and go have a piece of pie.
It is usually an ok drive on the route we took but this weekend there were craft booths set up all over cashing in on the big show draw so there were a lot of people in cars pulling on and off the road looking for that perfect dust collector and not paying much attention to anything else.
We got to our destination to find a tiny lunch wagon type pink trailer sitting on the side of the road with some lawn chairs next to it.
We took one look and my wife said it she was going to get ptomaine she wanted to do it sitting at a proper table indoors out of the rain.
Did I mention it was raining?
It always rains on War Eagle weekend.
It was not a hard rain, more of a drizzle but enough to get the road good and wet.
Well we headed back toward home and on the main drag we came upon a minor traffic jamb with a bunch of bargain hunters trying to jockey their big SUV's around.
Got through that mess and then really wanted to get home.
There is this wonky intersection that is not really engineered for a left turn and in my haste to get home I might have hit it a bit to fast but there it was, next thing I knew the rear was coming up on my right and I was pointing at the line of cars on my left.
There is a place on a back road I like to take when making my almost daily run to the post office that has a particularly sharp turn that I can break the tire loose on dry pavement and on a wet day can really get it sideways.
I guess all that reckless driving payed off because almost with out thinking I turned the wheel into the slide and and got straightened out with a minimum of fuss.
Heading on down the road I said jokingly to my wife that was fun.
She said "tell that to the girl in the car that thought you was going to hit her, her eyes were like saucers, I think mine were too".
My wife was cool though as that wasn't her first rodeo with me.
We got home, backed the car in the garage hooked up the charger and shammied it down and when I came into the house my wife had the makings of a Cherry pie started.
end of story
