Did you ever get your RJM clutch pedal installed? Was that you that has one or am I confusing you with someone else?

I peeked out front first to make sure it wasn't someone out in the front yard. Then I went to the backyard and looked where she was barking.

I walked within about a foot of a raccoon at eye level before noticing him :eek:

Thankfully just saying "Oh $hit" fairly loud seemed to scare him enough to bolt back over the fence. I put up the one thing he was probably trying to get into - an old dog food container with a few old kibbles in it. I hope not to see him again anytime soon :hello:

Nope it's still in my mod drawer :icon17:

This weekend would have been good because my wife is out of town. Unfortunately, I've got a bunch of stuff to do to get ready for our cruise next week.

Maybe next month :tup:

Fascinating creatures, but they piss me off when they figure out how to push the bricks off the metal trash can, undo the latch and pop the top off to get at the sunflower seeds that is for the bird feeders. :icon14:

Yeah, my neighbors are too close for that. Plus discharging firearms inside the city limits at my own property is more hassle than it's worth if I'm not defending my castle.

Maybe next time I'll grab the pellet gun. A well placed shot or two should take him down without much problem :tup:
